Four-Channel Sampling Scopes Carry LXI Certification October 21, 2008
Reportedly, the DS1000B series sampling oscilloscopes are the first in their class to achieve certification by the LXI consortium. The instruments deliver a real-time sample rate up to 2 Gsamples/s and bandwidths from 60 MHz to 200 MHz. They incorporate a proprietary ASIC front-end, which eliminates mechanical relays to guarantee performance and a longer life. Functions include digital filtering, pass/fail testing, record/playback, plus I/O capabilities including LAN, USB, and USB host(x 2). Other features include logic triggering across all four channels, an FFT function, a frequency counter, math functions such as add/subtract/multiply, Ultrascope software, and a 5.7-in. QVGA (320x240) 64k TFT color display. Additionally, the oscilloscopes measure 12" x 6" x 5.25" and weigh 5 lbs. Prices for the DS1064B (60 MHz), DS1104B (100 MHz), and DS1204B (200 MHz) are $1,295, $1,595, and $1,895, respectively. SAELIG CO., Pittsford, NY. (888) 772-3544.
