PC-based oscilloscopes offer two 9-bit channels
Stantronic Instruments
DS-1000 PC-based digital oscilloscopes
Acute is offering the DS-1000 Series of PC-based digital oscilloscopes, said to provide the majority of functions and features required by design, test and process engineers.
The three products offer two channels and a vertical resolution of 9 bits per channel.
All units can be cascaded to give up to six channels and all channels in use are shown on one display.
The three units differ from each other in bandwidth, sampling rate and triggering capabilities.
The basic model, called the DS-1002, provides an analogue bandwidth of 100MHz, a real-time sampling rate of 100MS/sec in single-channel mode and 50MS/sec in dual-channel mode.
The equivalent sampling rate for capturing repetitive signals is 2.5GS/sec with a memory length of 64k points.
The DS-1102 offers an analogue bandwidth of 200MHz, a real-time sampling rate of 200MS/sec in single-channel mode and 100MS/sec in dual-channel mode.
The equivalent sampling rate for capturing repetitive signal is 5GS/sec with a memory length of 64k points.
The DS-1202 has the same features as the DS-1102 but with an extended memory depth of 512k points.
Whereas the DS-1002 features the classic trigger capabilities like rising/falling edge and delay, the DS-1102 and DS-1202 offer an additional TV trigger and the DS-1202 a TV line trigger.
In Roll Mode, all units can show signals continuously up to a setting of 200ms/div and store the signals to hard disk up to the capacity of the disk.
All Acute digital oscilloscopes are operated by the same software, which displays waveforms and all related parameters on the screen to look like a conventional oscilloscope.
Cursors are available for precise measurements of voltage and time parameters.
The input coupling can be set to AC, DC or GND for each individual channel.
A 20MHz low-pass filter is standard.
The power of the PC can be utilised to perform maths functions, as well as Lissajous curves.
To perform an FFT on a signal, the units offer anti-aliasing filters like triangle, cosine, Lanczos and gaussian.
The Acute DSO range (USB 1.1 compatible, USB 2.0 preferred) is shipped with two probes, USB cable, manual and software, all packaged in a pouch.
