Rigol Rigol DS4012 vs Tektronix TDS3012c vs Agilent DSOX3012a Digital Oscilloscopes


 


Comparison of the Rigol DS4012, Tektronix TDS3012c, and the Agilent DSOX3012a Digital Oscilloscopes:


Rigol DS4012 comes with Rigol's UltraVision Technology, allowing for higher waveform capture rates of up to 110,000 wfms/s, real time waveform record and replay functionality, and multi-level intensity grading display, as well as a 9 inch SVGA, 256 level intensity grading display, a lower noise floor with a minimum vertical sensitivity of 1mV/div, and a variety of trigger functions.

Tektronix TDS3012c allows you to characterize a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously, with no change in sampling rate when additional channels are turned on.

Agilent DSOX3012a delivers up to 1 million waveforms per second, improving display quality to show subtle waveform details.
