Description
Bandwidth headroom keeps a scope from rounding off the edges you want to see. The Rigol DS81004 oscilloscope offers 10 GHz on each of four analog inputs, which leaves room above many fast designs. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
Why headroom helps
A scope that barely matches your signal softens rise times and hides ringing. The Rigol DS81004 oscilloscope avoids that for many designs. With more bandwidth than the signal needs, the picture stays closer to the truth. Therefore, teams working on fast serial links, clocks or memory buses often choose a bigger class than their nominal rate suggests. The listing positions the DS80000 family for high-speed signal inspection, timing analysis and design verification.
What the sheet says
- Bandwidth: 10 GHz, with four analog inputs and an external trigger
- Sample rate: up to 40 GSa/s per channel
- Memory: 500 Mpts standard, with 2 Gpts or 4 Gpts as options
- Capture rate: up to 250,000 waveforms per second
- Resolution: 8 bit native, with high-resolution modes
- Display: 15.6-inch capacitive touchscreen with electronic tilt
Options and firmware can move these figures, so the quotation settles them.
Using the Rigol DS81004 oscilloscope on the bench
Large memory lets you keep a long capture at a high sample rate, so you can scroll back to a glitch without losing its fine structure. The big touchscreen also keeps menus within reach, because you tap them directly. In addition, the electronic tilt helps when the scope sits low on a crowded bench. The photo shows a DS80000 family unit with an eye diagram on screen and four numbered inputs.
Fit with other models
Siblings in this family differ mainly by bandwidth. Pick the DS81004 when you want more reach than an 8 GHz model but do not need the 13 GHz tier. So you avoid paying for bandwidth you will never use.
Rent or buy through Lost in HCM
Rent when a program needs top-tier reach for one design cycle. However, buy when you expect to revisit fast-signal work often. Either way, request a quote from Lost in HCM and list your probes, memory option and delivery date. You can also browse more oscilloscope listings, visit Rigol or contact SMK Vietnam.
DS81004 FAQ
How does it differ from the DS81304?
The bandwidth differs, at 10 GHz here and 13 GHz on the DS81304. The other figures in the listings match.
Do I need the 4 Gpts memory option?
Only for very long captures. Standard memory is 500 Mpts, so state your capture length when you ask.
Are probes included?
Not by default, so confirm them in the quotation.
