Overview

The DS1104Z-S Plus is a versatile 100 MHz digital oscilloscope featuring four analog channels and an integrated 2-channel 25 MHz waveform generator. It provides a deep memory of 6Mpts and a 1 GSa/s sampling rate, making it an essential tool for debugging complex embedded systems. The Plus designation indicates hardware readiness for an optional 16-channel logic analyzer upgrade.

Why Choose This Part

This instrument combines four analog channels and a dual-channel function generator into a single benchtop unit, saving significant workspace. The 3.5 ns rise time and 100 MHz bandwidth ensure accurate capture of fast digital edges and high-frequency signals.

Applications

Embedded System Debugging
Correlating four analog channels with optional digital signals to troubleshoot timing issues in microcontroller-based designs.
Analog Circuit Analysis
Using the built-in 25 MHz signal source to perform frequency response analysis and component characterization.
Serial Bus Troubleshooting
Capturing and decoding RS232, I2C, and SPI communications using the record and playback functions.
Industrial Sensor Testing
Monitoring multiple 0-10V or 4-20mA sensor outputs simultaneously in industrial automation environments.
