Description
Not every bench needs four channels. The Rigol MSO5072 oscilloscope pairs 70 MHz of bandwidth and two analog channels with 16 digital inputs, so one sensor and a logic bus fit on the same screen. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.

Two analog channels plus a logic bus
Two analog channels cover a surprising amount of work. For example, you can watch a sensor output next to its supply while the digital inputs follow a bus. The capture shows how the analog and the logic sides line up in time. So a firmware bug and a noisy rail no longer hide from each other.
Where 70 MHz is enough
Many industrial and teaching signals move far below 70 MHz. Relay timing, sensor lines, PLC outputs, slow buses and audio-range circuits all fit comfortably. Check your fastest edge first, then compare it with the bandwidth. However, if your edges are faster, ask Lost in HCM about a wider model.
Why a teaching lab might pick the Rigol MSO5072 oscilloscope
Students need a screen they can read from a few steps away. The 9-inch touchscreen runs at 1024 x 600, so traces stay clear. Two analog inputs keep the first lessons simple, yet the digital inputs let you grow into logic work later. In practice, a department can also rent one for a single term.
Speed, depth and the optional extras
Sampling reaches up to 8 GSa/s on a single channel, and 2 GSa/s with all analog channels active. Memory starts at 100 Mpts and can rise to 200 Mpts, but the limit depends on the channel mode. The 16 digital inputs need the PLA2216 probe. A 2-channel 25 MHz AFG is optional, so confirm it before you order.
When you are ready, request a quote from Lost in HCM and name your probes and dates. A short course or an audit rarely needs ownership, so renting the Rigol MSO5072 oscilloscope often works well. SMK Vietnam only shows the listing. For other models, open the oscilloscope category. Official papers sit at Rigol, and SMK Vietnam can help with the order.
MSO5072 questions
Why does the photo show four analog inputs?
The photo shows an MSO5000 family view, so it may show more inputs than this two-channel model. The quote confirms the exact unit.
Which probe do the digital channels use?
They use the PLA2216 probe, which you should add to your request.
Can I add a signal generator?
A 2-channel 25 MHz AFG is optional. Ask Lost in HCM whether the unit on offer has it.
