1. Product Overview

The DSOX1202G oscilloscope is a powerful and practical test and measurement instrument designed to meet various electronic measurement requirements. Equipped with 2 analog channels and featuring excellent performance specifications and rich functions, it plays an important role in electronic R&D, teaching experiments, production testing and other fields, providing users with accurate and reliable signal measurement and analysis solutions.

2. Product Features

(1) Bandwidth

Three bandwidth options are available: 70MHz, 100MHz and 200MHz (100MHz and 200MHz models require additional options). Bandwidth determines the highest frequency of signals that the oscilloscope can accurately measure. 70MHz bandwidth can handle most low-frequency signal measurement tasks; 100MHz or 200MHz bandwidth is suitable for high-frequency digital signal testing, RF circuit debugging, complex communication signal analysis and other scenarios, ensuring no loss of signal detail characteristics.

(2) Sample Rate

It features a sample rate of 2GSa/s, capable of sampling the signal 2 billion times per second. The high sample rate can accurately restore the real waveform of the signal, and performs exceptionally well in capturing details such as rapidly changing signal edges and narrow pulses.

(3) Memory Depth

It has a memory depth of 2M points, which can meet the requirements of long-time, high-resolution data acquisition. For long-term signal monitoring or complex signal analysis, sufficient memory depth can effectively avoid data loss, and fully record and analyze the signal change process.

(4) Waveform Capture Rate

The waveform capture rate reaches up to 200,000 waveforms per second, which means the oscilloscope can capture and display more waveforms per unit time. A high waveform capture rate significantly improves the probability of detecting occasional abnormalities in the signal, such as transient interference pulses and signal glitches in the circuit, helping users quickly identify and solve potential circuit problems.

(5) Built-in Function Generator

The built-in 20MHz function generator eliminates the need for an external independent signal source, and can generate multiple standard waveforms including sine wave, square wave, ramp wave, pulse wave, DC and noise, which can be output to the circuit under test to stimulate the circuit and observe its response. It also supports setting modulation parameters such as amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM) and frequency shift keying (FSK) to generate complex modulated signals, meeting diversified test requirements. It is especially suitable for teaching laboratories and design scenarios with strict constraints on cost and space.

(6) Professional Measurement Functions

1. Bode Plot (Frequency Response Analyzer): Supports frequency response analysis and can generate Bode plots to describe how the gain and phase of a circuit change with frequency.

For example, when testing whether digital communication signals comply with specific protocol standards, it can quickly judge signal compliance, improving test efficiency and accuracy.

1. Math Functions and FFT: Built-in rich math operation functions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, integration, differentiation, etc., can further process and analyze the acquired signals to extract valuable information. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function converts time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals, which clearly displays the distribution of signal frequency components and helps analyze frequency-related problems such as harmonics and spurs in signals.

1. Serial Protocol Analysis: The serial protocol analysis function is standard-equipped, supporting a variety of common serial protocols, including I²C, UART/RS-232 and SPI commonly used in the embedded field, as well as CAN and LIN widely used in the automotive electronics field. It can not only trigger and decode serial communication signals, but also display detailed information such as protocol data content, transmission rate and timing relationship. When developing and debugging circuit systems involving serial communication, it can quickly locate communication faults, ensure stable and accurate communication, and greatly shorten the development cycle.
