GW Instek (www.gwinstek.com) has unveiled the GDS-1000-U Series of digital oscilloscopes. These dual channel oscilloscopes offer bandwidth ranging from 50 MHz to 100 MHz and large 5.7 color TFT LCD displays. With a real-time sampling rate of 250 MSa/s, 4,000 point record length, dual sampling modes and an ET sampling rate of 25 GSa/s, these new oscilloscopes offer a remarkable balance of performance between sampling speed and memory length.

The series is specifically design to meet even the most demanding engineering budgets and requirements. It also offers other significant features, such as ergonomic design, user-friendly menu tree operations, USB host for PC connectivity, compact size and USB device port support.

Its front USB host port enhances the product’s data storage capability since large amount of data, including waveform, screenshots and panel setup, can be conveniently stored into a flash disk A, while its rear USB device port facilitates transfers of waveform raw data and screen image to the PC via remote control.

The series’ data logger allows users to store waveform data in a USB flash disk while monitoring the input signals, effectively saving the time and effort of the users spent on tracking signals manually.

The memory of the oscilloscopes can save a total of 15 waveforms. Two live waveforms and two saved reference waveforms can be simultaneously compared on the screen. Its Measure key press enables users to view all voltage and signal time related measurements on the screen.

The oscilloscopes also feature 19 auto measurement functions and several acquisition modes to help users accurately measure the waveform’s characteristics. Its advanced auto-set function allows the oscilloscope to automatically capture and quickly display waveforms, while its arithmetic and FFT functions keeps users aware of updated measurement results.
