Overview

The DS1074Z-S Plus is a 70 MHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope that integrates Rigol's UltraVision technology for deep memory and high waveform capture rates. This 'S' model features a built-in dual-channel 25 MHz function and arbitrary waveform generator, providing an all-in-one bench solution for signal analysis and generation. It includes a 7-inch WVGA color display with intensity grading to help engineers visualize signal jitter and complex noise profiles.

Why Choose This Part

The DS1074Z-S Plus offers high versatility by combining an oscilloscope and a dual-channel signal generator in one chassis, saving significant bench space. Its UltraVision architecture provides a deep 12 Mpts memory depth and a waveform capture rate of up to 30,000 wfms/s, ensuring infrequent glitches are captured and displayed via the 64-level intensity grading LCD.

Applications

Embedded System Debugging
Utilize the 4 analog channels and 12 Mpts standard memory to capture and analyze timing issues between multiple microcontroller peripherals and power rails.
Analog Circuit Prototyping
Use the integrated 2-channel 25 MHz function generator to provide stimulus signals while simultaneously monitoring circuit response on the oscilloscope channels.
Educational Laboratories
A cost-effective solution for teaching fundamental electronics, allowing students to explore signal integrity and waveform modulation in a single instrument.
Serial Bus Analysis
Monitor RS232, I2C, or SPI traffic by leveraging the deep memory to capture long data streams at high sampling rates.
