Rigol DS4052 500 MHz Digital Oscilloscope with 2 Channels

The Rigol DS4052 is a 500 MHz, 2-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for signal acquisition, analysis, and validation in electronics testing and design verification. It combines a 4 GSa/s real-time sampling rate with 140 Mpts maximum memory depth and an exceptional 110,000 waveforms/second capture rate, enabling both transient and repetitive signal characterization. The 9-inch WVGA display (800 × 480 pixels) with 256-level intensity grading provides clear waveform visualization across dynamic scenarios.
