GW Instek GDS-2504HD Oscilloscopio digitale, 500 MHz, 4 canali, 2,5 GSa/s, 500 Mpts, 12 bit 03LLDS2504DS

Capture every detail with the GW Instek GDS-2504HD, a 500 MHz digital storage oscilloscope that pairs a 2.5 GSa/s real-time sample rate with a deep 500 Mpts memory. Its 12-bit vertical resolution reveals subtle signal variations that 8-bit scopes miss, while the 8-inch 800x600 TFT LCD provides a clear, detailed view of your waveforms.

Overview

The GDS-2504HD is engineered for engineers who demand precision and speed. With four analog channels, a waveform capture rate of 120,000 wfm/s, and a time base range from 1 ns/div to 1000 s/div, it handles both fast digital edges and slow analog drift. The 1 MΩ input impedance (with 15 pF capacitance) ensures compatibility with standard probes, and the vertical sensitivity from 1 mV/div to 10 V/div covers a wide range of signal amplitudes.

What stands out

• 500 MHz bandwidth and 4 channels for multi-signal analysis
• 2.5 GSa/s real-time sampling and 500 Mpts memory depth per channel
• 12-bit vertical resolution for high measurement accuracy
• Fast 120,000 wfm/s waveform update rate to catch elusive glitches
• Comprehensive triggering including Edge, Pulse Width, Video, Runt, Rise/Fall, Nth Edge, Bus, Logic, Time Out, and Event Delay
• 38 automatic measurements for quick parameter extraction
• Connectivity: USB Host, USB Device, LAN, and optional GPIB
