Rigol DS2072A 2-Channel 70 Mhz Digital Oscilloscope

The Rigol DS2072A is a 2-channel, 70 MHz digital storage oscilloscope engineered for signal acquisition and analysis across development, troubleshooting, and production environments. It samples at up to 2 GSa/s with 14 Mpts standard memory (expandable to 56 Mpts) and captures waveforms at rates up to 50,000 wfms/s using UltraVision technology. The 8-inch WVGA color TFT display (800×480 pixels, 256 intensity levels) delivers clear signal visualization across a vertical range of 500 µV/div to 10 V/div.

A low noise floor and dual input impedance (1 MΩ / 50 Ω) make it suitable for precision small-signal measurements. Time base spans 5 ns/div to 50 s/div. The oscilloscope includes runt triggering, versatile trigger functions, and optional serial bus triggering and decoding for RS232, I²C, SPI, and CAN protocols.

Hardware-based waveform recording stores up to 65,000 frames for real-time playback and analysis. Maximum input voltage is 300 V across AC, DC, and GND coupling modes.
