Description
A pair of fast channels is often all a clock or serial-link check needs. The Rigol DS9202 oscilloscope offers 2 GHz at 50 ohm on two analog channels, plus an external trigger input. It belongs to the MSO-DS9000 family. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and the catalog entry is quote-led.
Two fast channels and a trigger input
The 2 GHz figure applies at 50 ohm, while a 1 Mohm input gives 500 MHz. So pick the input that suits your probe and signal. The external trigger lets a separate signal start each capture. Sampling reaches up to 10 GSa/s.

| Waveform generator | No integrated AFG |
Catching rare glitches
Fast recording mode captures up to 1,000,000 waveforms per second. That rate raises your chance of seeing a rare glitch. The standard memory holds 10 Mpts on all channels. As a result, the capture length depends on the sample rate you choose. Do not assume that optional memory comes with the unit.
Resolution beyond 8 bits
The converter is 8 bit natively. A high-resolution mode stretches that to between 9 and 16 bits, which helps when you look at small signals on a larger one. The 10.1-inch touchscreen shows 1280 x 800 pixels, so waveforms and menus stay readable.
Plan probes before the quote
Probes, options, firmware and calibration documents all need confirming for the unit you receive. The listing shows no integrated waveform generator, so plan a separate source if you need one. Rigol still lists the model, but availability needs checking. Therefore ask early about the Rigol DS9202 oscilloscope.
Rent for a bring-up, or buy
A rental covers a short debug campaign, while a purchase suits a shared bench. Either way, request a quote from Lost in HCM with your bandwidth, probe list and delivery site. You can also browse other oscilloscopes, read the Rigol website or contact SMK Vietnam.
DS9202 questions
How many analog channels does it have?
It has two, plus an external trigger input.
What is the standard memory depth?
It is 10 Mpts on all channels, so check optional memory with Lost in HCM.
Do I need a separate signal source?
Yes, if you want to generate signals, because the listing notes no integrated waveform generator.
