Description
Two analog channels, sixteen logic channels and a signal source all sit in one case. That is the pitch of the Rigol MSO2302A-S oscilloscope, because it pairs 300 MHz of bandwidth with a built-in 2-channel generator. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
Three tools in one case
A bench usually needs a scope, a logic analyzer and a function generator. This model folds the three roles into a single instrument. Therefore a small lab can cut the cable clutter and the setup time. Also, the generator reaches 25 MHz on each of two channels, so it covers many audio, sensor and control signals.
Setting up a mixed-signal measurement
- First, connect the analog probes to the circuit nodes you care about.
- Next, attach the RPL2316 probe, because the digital channels require it.
- Also route the built-in generator to the stimulus input of the circuit.
- Then trigger, capture and compare the analog and logic views.
Because the steps stay the same, that flow works for a sensor front end, a motor controller or a serial peripheral.

Options, modes and firmware can change these values, so confirm them with the quotation.
Who benefits
Rigol points the MSO2000A family at embedded design, serial-bus debugging, education and bench measurements. In a training room, the Rigol MSO2302A-S oscilloscope lets students build a stimulus and a measurement without extra gear. Meanwhile, a product team can use the same unit for quick checks of a new board.

Rent it for a project phase, or buy it for a permanent bench. Lost in HCM supplies the unit and gives the quote, while SMK Vietnam only shows the listing. So please request a quote from Lost in HCM and list your probes and delivery site. The oscilloscope category lists sibling units, and Rigol publishes the manuals. For anything else, contact SMK Vietnam.
MSO2302A-S questions
What does the -S add over the plain MSO2302A?
Mainly the generator. The listing gives the -S an integrated 2-channel 25 MHz source, while the plain MSO2302A lists none.
How many signals can I watch at once?
Two analog channels and 16 digital channels. However, the digital side needs the RPL2316 probe, so add it to your request.
How big is the display?
It measures 8 inches and shows 800 x 480 pixels in color, so several traces stay readable.
