Our Verdicts
Rigol DHO814
The Rigol DHO814 pairs 100 MHz nominal bandwidth with 4 analog channels and 25 Mpts acquisition memory. Four analog channels let you compare multiple rails or related signals in one capture. Protocol decoding can help interpret supported serial buses; check the exact included decoder options. Choose capture duration and sample rate together; maximum memory and sample rate may depend on the enabled channel count. This recommendation is based on listed specifications, without documented hands-on performance testing. Published acquisition limits: 1.25 GSa/s single-channel, 625 MSa/s dual-channel, 312.5 MSa/s full-channel; 25 Mpts single-channel, 10 Mpts dual-channel, 5 Mpts full-channel. Maximum rate and depth depend on active channel configuration.
