Rigol

Rigol Technologies, founded in Beijing in 1998, makes oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, waveform generators, and DC power supplies for electronics design and test work. Their UltraVision III architecture, built around a custom Phoenix ASIC chipset, powers the DS70000 series oscilloscope with up to 20 GSa/s sampling and 1 million waveforms/second capture rate, while mid-range MSO5000 scopes integrate seven instruments — oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, logic analyzer, and more — into one unit. WestCalibration is an authorized Rigol dealer.

Why Choose Rigol

• UltraVision III architecture with custom Phoenix ASIC chipset delivers up to 20 GSa/s sampling and 1 million waveforms/second capture rate on the DS70000 series
• MSO5000 series integrates seven instruments in one unit: oscilloscope, 16-channel logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, digital voltmeter, frequency counter, and protocol analyzer
• DS2000 series was the first oscilloscope with µV/div-level vertical sensitivity, useful for resolving very small signal details
• Over 400 patents and offices in China, the US, and Germany back a product line spanning oscilloscopes through RF signal generators and data acquisition systems

Why Buy Rigol from WestCalibration

Units ship from our own in-house stock, not dropshipped, so lead times stay predictable. Their line is available in our oscilloscopes category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does UltraVision technology actually improve? It increases waveform capture and update rates dramatically, reducing the “blind time” between acquisitions so intermittent signal faults are less likely to be missed.

Can one Rigol oscilloscope replace several separate instruments? Yes, models like the MSO5000 series combine an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer, waveform generator, and more into a single unit.
