Description
The sample rate on this scope depends on how many channels you switch on. The Rigol DS8104-R oscilloscope reaches its top figure with one channel active, then gives some of it up as you add more. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
Sample rate by channel mode
| Channels in use | Maximum sample rate |
|---|---|
| One channel | 10 GSa/s |
| Half-channel mode | 5 GSa/s |
| All channels | 2.5 GSa/s |
The bandwidth is 1 GHz across four analog inputs, plus an external trigger. Memory depth reaches 500 Mpts on a single channel and varies with channel mode. The capture rate is up to 600,000 waveforms per second, with 8-bit native resolution.
Planning around the trade-off
Because speed shifts with channel use, decide your channel plan early. On the Rigol DS8104-R oscilloscope, a single fast edge on one probe gets the best timing detail. However, a four-probe job on a power stage gets the lowest rate per channel, so check that it still resolves your edges. Ask Lost in HCM for the exact configuration, since options can move these values.
Where a 1 GHz scope such as this one fits
- Waveform inspection on mixed digital and analog boards
- Embedded-system debugging when a bus misbehaves
- Laboratory measurements that need more reach than a basic bench scope
Display and control
This scope has no built-in LCD. It drives an external HDMI display and accepts remote control, so a PC or monitor does the viewing. That keeps the instrument itself compact, and you can tuck it into a rack beside the device under test. In addition, the photo of the family chassis shows LAN and acquisition lights, two USB ports and four input connectors.
Rent or buy the Rigol DS8104-R oscilloscope
Choose a rental for a certification push or a pilot line. Choose a purchase when several stations need identical measurement tools. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM with your channel plan and probe needs. You can also compare oscilloscope listings, visit Rigol or contact SMK Vietnam.
Quick DS8104-R answers
What is the top sample rate?
Up to 10 GSa/s with a single channel. It falls to 5 GSa/s in half-channel mode and 2.5 GSa/s with all channels on.
Does it have a screen?
No. Use an external HDMI display or control it remotely.
Are probes part of the price?
Do not assume so. Ask Lost in HCM to confirm probes, options and licenses.
