Comparison Videos vs Tektronix MDO3000

Risetime

The RIGOL DS7054 delivers superior rise-time performance than the MDO3054 due to superior sampling and bandwidth headroom.

Jitter

The DS7000's UltraVision II architecture and Phoenix chip set delivers significantly better frequency accuracy than the MDO3000.

Sampling

Avoid undersampling and signal distortion with high 10GSa/sec sampling and long record length up to 500Mpts on the RIGOL 7000 Series. Compare this to the Tektronix MDO3000 in the video below.

Waveform Capture Rate

Compare waveform capture rate performance of the DS7000 and the MDO3000. The DS7000 delivers significant performance advantages over the MDO3000 thanks to RIGOL UltraVision II architecture.

User Interface

With a 10.1" capacitive touch display and support for 5 unique ways to interact with your instrument, the RIGOL 7000 Series is a modern alternative to the Tektronix MDO3000. The MDO3000 only has a 9-inch display with no touch capability.

RF Applications

Combine the power of the 7000 Series enhanced FFT capabilities with the real-time analysis capabilities of the RSA Series spectrum analyzer for true multi-domain analysis a step above the MDO3000.

Precision Measurements

The RIGOL 7000 Series allows you to capture and display full record length measurements (up to 500M) in real time. Tekronix MDO3000 requires you stop the scope and wait ~9 seconds.

Measurement accuracy on long acquisitions

RIGOL's 7000 Series Oscilloscope delivers accurate deep memory measurements in real time. Due to insufficient sampling the Tektronix MDO3000 cannot make these measurements accurately.

Serial Decode

Triggering on Serial Events and Decoding serial traffic is a critical capability for modern mainstream oscilloscopes. Compare RIGOL MSO7000 capabilities to the MDO3000.

Advanced Protocol Analysis

Displaying Decoded Protocol in appropriate human readable formats and displaying events and payload in a easy to navigate event table are key analysis tools.

Advanced Search

Users need tools like zoom, event tables and searh/mark capabilities to navigate long record lengths. Compare the RIGOL 7000 Series ability to identify signals of interest versus the Tektronix MDO3000.

ZONE Trigger

RIGOL's ZONE Trigger capability allows the user to quickly isolate signals of interest. See how the zone trigger allows faster debug of pulsing signals when compared to the Tektronix MDO3000.

Logic Analyzer

Looking at digital timing is a critical piece of embedded system debug. The 7000 Series lets you create custom labels for any of your logic analyzer channels.

Data Export

Easily moving data off your instrument for quick analysis is important. See how the 7000 Series can move a 10Mpt .csv file in 1/3 the time of the MDO3000.
