Rigol DS1102Z-E Oscilloscope, 100 MHz, 2 Analog Channels, 1 GSa/s, 7-inch Display

Description

A first oscilloscope should be simple to read and quick to learn. The Rigol DS1102Z-E oscilloscope gives a lab two analog channels at 100 MHz and a 7-inch display. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so a team can borrow it for a course or buy it for good.

DS1102Z-E at a glance

Building a training bench around two channels

Most teaching exercises need only two traces. For example, students can feed a sine wave into an RC filter and compare input against output. They can also watch a clock line beside the signal it triggers. Because the exercise stays small, a new user finds the trace quickly. As a result, instructors spend less time on knobs and more time on measurement habits.

When two channels are not enough

Some jobs need more traces. A multi-rail power-up check or a motor-drive stage often shows three or four signals at once. In that case, look at a four-channel model in the oscilloscope listings. However, amplifier stages, sensor outputs and simple serial lines go a long way on two channels.

Reading the sample rate and memory

The 1 GSa/s and 24 Mpts figures are maximums. Both depend on the channel mode, so the numbers shift when you change how many channels run. Therefore, ask Lost in HCM to confirm them for your setup before you plan long captures. The model also lists a capture rate of up to 30,000 wfms/s, which helps you catch an occasional glitch.

Rent for a course or buy for the lab

A semester project, a training week or a short audit suits a rental of the Rigol DS1102Z-E oscilloscope. A school or plant lab that uses scopes every week may prefer to own one. Either way, Lost in HCM supplies the instrument and gives the quote, while SMK Vietnam only shows the listing.

Request a quote for the Rigol DS1102Z-E oscilloscope

List the number of units, the dates and the delivery site. Also ask which probes, cables and options come with each unit, because the listing does not assume them. If an audit needs calibration evidence, say so up front. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM, read about the DS1000Z-E family at Rigol or contact SMK Vietnam.

DS1102Z-E questions

Is 100 MHz enough for a teaching lab?

For audio, sensor and slow digital signals, yes. Fast clock edges need more bandwidth, so choose a 200 MHz model for those.

Does it always sample at 1 GSa/s?

No. That figure is a maximum, and it depends on the channel mode. Check the Rigol datasheet for your setup.

Is the photo my exact unit?

The photo shows the DS1000Z-E family, so the front-panel marking may differ. Lost in HCM confirms the exact unit and its accessories in the quote.
