Description
An eye diagram tells you at a glance whether a fast link is healthy. The Rigol DS81304 oscilloscope shows one on its large screen in the product photo, and it reaches 13 GHz of analog bandwidth. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
The 13 GHz class
This model sits at the high end of the figures in the DS80000 family listings. It keeps four analog inputs and an external trigger, so you can compare several lines at once. The Rigol DS81304 oscilloscope belongs to the same DS80000 family as the 8 GHz and 10 GHz models, so the listed memory, capture rate and display match. The sample rate reaches 40 GSa/s per channel, and the listing gives 8-bit native resolution with high-resolution modes.
Numbers to carry into your plan
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 13 GHz |
| Sample rate | Up to 40 GSa/s per channel |
| Memory | 500 Mpts standard; 2 Gpts or 4 Gpts optional |
| Capture rate | Up to 250,000 waveforms per second |
| Display | 15.6-inch capacitive touchscreen, electronic tilt |
Signal integrity jobs
- Inspecting fast signals for ringing, overshoot and jitter
- Timing analysis between clocks and data lines
- Design verification before a board goes to a production run
- Comparing a reference design against a new revision
Eye diagrams suit this work, since they pile many bit periods into one view. Also, memory matters here, because a long capture holds more bits for a convincing eye. However, the listing does not name a specific eye-diagram package, so ask which software the quoted unit carries.
What the photo shows
The product photo carries the DS81304 marking itself. Its screen holds a colorful eye pattern, and four color-coded input connectors line the bottom edge. A column of knobs sits at the right. Because the display tilts electronically, you can point it at the engineer who needs it.
Rent or buy the Rigol DS81304 oscilloscope
For a single design sign-off, rent it and return it. However, recurring high-speed work may fit a purchase better. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM with your probe list and memory choice. You can also see other oscilloscope listings, visit Rigol or contact SMK Vietnam.
DS81304 questions
Does it come with eye-diagram software?
The listing does not say. Ask Lost in HCM which options the quoted unit includes.
Can the screen be angled?
Yes, because the 15.6-inch touchscreen has electronic tilt.
What memory is standard?
The listing shows 500 Mpts, with 2 Gpts or 4 Gpts as options.
