DSO2D10 Digital Storage Oscilloscope – 100MHz Bandwidth, 1GS/s Sampling, Two Channels with Signal Generator

The DSO2D10 is a two-channel digital storage oscilloscope designed for electronics engineers, technicians, and educators who need reliable waveform capture and analysis. With 100MHz analog bandwidth and a maximum sampling rate of 1GSa/s, it handles a wide range of signals from audio frequencies to high-speed digital. The 8Mpts record length allows you to capture long sequences without sacrificing detail, making it suitable for troubleshooting intermittent faults or analysing serial data. Each channel features independent knob control, so you can adjust vertical and horizontal settings separately while viewing both waveforms simultaneously. A built-in 25MHz signal generator eliminates the need for an external function generator for basic test signals.

Signal Acquisition and Performance

This oscilloscope delivers the capture performance needed for general-purpose electronics work. The combination of bandwidth, sampling rate, and memory depth supports detailed analysis of periodic and transient signals.

Bandwidth and Sampling

The 100MHz analog bandwidth covers the fundamental frequencies of most microcontrollers, sensors, and audio circuits. With 1GSa/s sampling rate, you can visualise single-shot events with enough resolution to see edge transitions and glitches. The 8-bit vertical resolution provides adequate detail for many troubleshooting and measurement tasks.

Record Length and Storage

Each channel has 8Mpts of recording memory, enabling you to capture long time windows while maintaining high sample density. This is especially useful when analysing serial bus frames or capturing infrequent events. The oscilloscope can save settings, waveforms, reference waveforms, CSV, and image files for later review or documentation.

Trigger and Decode Options

The trigger system includes edge, pulse, video, slope, timeout, window, code type, interval, underamplitude, UART, LIN, CAN, SPI, and IIC settings. For protocol analysis, it supports RS232/UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, and LIN bus decoding, making it easier to debug embedded systems without separate logic analyser hardware.

Measurement and Analysis Tools

Beyond basic waveform display, the DSO2D10 provides built-in measurement and calculation functions that streamline fault finding and signal characterisation.

Automatic Measurements

Support for 32 automatic measurement parameters includes voltage, time, frequency, and statistical values. Real-time statistics display minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and other data, allowing you to assess signal stability at a glance. Threshold testing lets you define measurement boundaries on screen for custom analysis.

Voltmeter and Frequency Meter

A dedicated 5-digit digital voltmeter function provides accurate DC voltage readings independent of the main oscilloscope display. The 6-digit hardware frequency meter gives stable frequency measurements without relying on trigger settings, making it ideal for oscillator or clock signal verification.

SCPI Remote Control

The oscilloscope supports a rich set of SCPI remote control commands, enabling integration into automated test systems or remote monitoring setups. This is valuable for production testing or when the instrument needs to be controlled from a PC or embedded controller.

Connectivity and Practical Use

The instrument includes multiple interfaces and physical features that support everyday bench work and field use.

Interfaces and Storage

USB Host and Device ports are provided for connecting a flash drive to transfer saved data or for remote control from a computer. Files can be saved in waveform, reference waveform, CSV, and image formats, giving flexibility for documentation and further analysis.

Physical Build and Dimensions

With dimensions of 318 x 140 x 150mm and a weight of 2.9kg, the oscilloscope is compact enough to sit on a benchtop without taking excessive space. The enclosure is designed for durability in typical lab and workshop environments.

Intended Workflows

This instrument suits a wide range of tasks: troubleshooting power supply ripple, decoding serial communication from microcontrollers, measuring clock frequencies, or verifying audio amplifier outputs. The two channels allow comparison of input and output signals or probe different test points simultaneously.
