About

RIGOL is a full-portfolio test and measurement supplier founded in 1998, supplying everything from RF and time-domain products to power supplies and precision measurement instruments. The company’s headquarters is in Beijing, China with an R&D and production facility in Suzhou, China as well as two international subsidiaries in Beaverton, OR, United States and Munich, Germany. The company currently employs about 400 people and serves customers in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide.

RIGOL is not another cheap Chinese off-brand – the company’s products stack up when compared side-by-side with established manufacturers like Tektronix and Keysight on both price AND performance.

"I was initially leery about buying a Chinese brand scope, but I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised. This thing doesn't feel cheap at all and is packed with features. It feels solid and heavy. Coming from a Tek TDS2014, I realize that the only thing Tek has over Rigol are separate digitizers per channel and a real-time clock, but that's about all. The Rigol's display, decoding abilities, sample memory, and nearly everything else handily beats the Tek, at close to 50% the price…"

RIGOL Advantage

Value

RIGOL has several advantages over its competitors. Chief among them is better value. As customers are looking for ways to reduce their overall cost of test and meet their testing/design challenges, RIGOL offers customers all the advanced features they are looking for but at prices anywhere from 30-50% percent below the cost of the competition.

If you define value as the sum of features, capabilities, performance, and quality, divided by price, then RIGOL provides the best value to you, the customer.

“For the money, this is a great feature packed scope. I was considering a Tektronix scope for home use, since we have so many of them where I work, and Tektronix is well regarded in the electronics industry. However, I took a chance on the Rigol DS1074Z and was not disappointed. In fact, now I feel the Tektronix scopes are more hype than performance…”
-William Moltz, Verified Review of RIGOL DS1074Z

The company offers unprecedented value to the customer by bringing more capabilities, performance and more advanced features at a significantly lower price. In addition, TEquipment.NET offers an exclusive 30-Day Money Back Guarantee on most RIGOL products so you can test an instrument for your application risk-free.

Testimonials

“The [oscilloscope] controls are very straight forward and simple enough to adjust to the proper settings. The function generators are more advanced than any I have previously used, that being said they were very easy to get running. My students were able to use the function generators with little to no guidance, the oscilloscopes required instructor help to get them working (I believe this is because of lack of student knowledge and not complexity of controls). I think both pieces (oscilloscope and function generator) are good equipment that are easy to use for someone with previous test equipment experience.”
-Brandon Artz, Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology, Indiana State University

“The Rigol oscilloscopes and signal generators are being used in our Electrical and Computer Engineering senior design lab, where we typically work on mechatronics projects with embedded hardware. Students use PC-based solutions, such as NI Elvis, in most of the lower level labs, so we felt it was important to make sure that students are familiar with and can work with a traditional oscilloscope before they graduate. The 4-channel Rigol scopes have been working out well in the course. Students use them for a variety of troubleshooting tasks for both analog and digital hardware.”
-Richard Groff, Assoc. Professor, Electrical &anp; Computer Engineering, Clemson University

“The scopes were purchased for our Applied Technology Electronics program here at Mesa Community College. They're for classroom use for 100 and 200 level theory, communication, and microprocessor education. We like them, and they're easy to use.”
-James Traicoff, Electronics Lab Associate, Mesa Community College

Products

RIGOL offers a full portfolio of test and measurement instruments, suitable for applications from professional to hobbyist. Primary products in the current portfolio include a range of Oscilloscopes, Spectrum Analyzers, Waveform Generators, Digital Multimeters, and Programmable DC Power Supplies.

Oscilloscopes

“This is the best scope I have ever personally owned. While I have more than 50 years in electronics and have used scopes that cost more than a nice house, I was very impressed with this scope for my personal use … A real quality instrument head and shoulders above lesser scopes. I own TEK 2024, RIGOL MSO 1074, and SIGLENT SDS 1102X, all of which have some good points, but the RIGOL DS4024 is way better than any or all of them.”
-Thomas Kirkland, Verified Review of RIGOL DS4024

RIGOL is a major manufacturer of oscilloscopes, having introduced six generations of scopes since its founding. The company currently offers multiple different Series of oscilloscopes, ranging from 2-4 channels, 50MHz-1GHz Bandwidth, and 1-10 Gsa/s. MSO versions are also available for several Series, with up to 16 digital channels.

Many of these scopes feature RIGOL’s innovative “UltraVision” technology. UltraVision is a hardware and software architecture accelerator which avoids burdening the embedded CPU. This allows finding errors in signals faster and analyzing them more exactly. UltraVision also adds a multi-grading intensity display feature, where multiple waveforms are overlaid on each other and a different intensity is chosen depending on the frequency of display. In addition, RIGOL launched its latest UltraVision II architecture and innovative Phoenix Chipset in Spring 2018. This architecture enables a high waveform capture rate, color graded intensity display, and outstanding time-base accuracy and jitter performance.

“Having used Tektronix scopes exclusively, I was a bit leery of the Rigol brand. However, after much research I learned that they offer a good value and are multi ISO certified company. I ordered the MSO2202A-S and was pleasantly surprised…The construction of the scope itself is superb, and it doesn't emit foul odors as some cheap electronics do. The menus are intuitive and too many features to mention...I definitely recommend this unit.”
-SalNYC, Verified Review of RIOGL MSO2202A-S

It is an excellent piece of equipment, makes me wish I had it years ago. The digital precision makes measuring a pleasure.”
-William Buyak, Verified Review of RIGOL DG1022Z

RIGOL Function / Arbitrary Waveform generators use Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis (DDS) technology to generate high accuracy and high stability waveforms. They can also generate programmable pulse signals as well as standard wave functions.
