Description
Four analog channels and 100 MHz make the Rigol MSO5104 oscilloscope a steady all-rounder for embedded work. It adds 16 digital inputs that need a PLA2216 probe. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.
An all-rounder for embedded bring-up
Firmware engineers often chase problems that cross the analog and digital line, so a mixed-signal view helps. A sensor reading looks wrong, or a motor driver misfires. With four analog traces and 16 logic lines, you can follow the whole chain on one timeline. Then you can spot the first signal that goes off script.

What 100 MHz with four channels suits
Also, microcontroller boards, sensor interfaces, small power stages and many industrial links fit this class. Because four channels are on hand, you rarely need to move a probe mid-test. However, check your fastest edge first. If it is quick, ask Lost in HCM about a faster model.
Where the Rigol MSO5104 oscilloscope saves time
- Checking power-up order on several rails.
- Comparing a sensor signal with the bus message it triggers.
- Confirming that a driver follows its enable line.
- Capturing a rare fault with deep memory.
Memory and sampling
Deep memory also helps most with a rare fault. Standard depth is 100 Mpts on a single channel, and the option reaches 200 Mpts. Depth depends on the channel mode, so a four-channel capture gets less than a single-channel one. Sampling follows the same rule, with up to 8 GSa/s on one channel and 2 GSa/s when all analog channels run.
If your project lasts a quarter, renting the Rigol MSO5104 oscilloscope may beat a purchase. If the scope will see daily use, ask for a sale quote instead. To begin, request a quote from Lost in HCM. You can also compare the oscilloscope category, visit Rigol or contact SMK Vietnam.
MSO5104 questions
What does 100 MHz with four channels suit?
It suits embedded boards, sensor interfaces and small power stages. Check your fastest edge against the bandwidth first.
Can I extend the memory?
Yes. An option raises the 100 Mpts standard depth to 200 Mpts, but the depth you see depends on the channel mode.
Is a signal generator included?
A 2-channel 25 MHz AFG is optional. Ask Lost in HCM to confirm what the unit on offer includes.
