OWON XDS3000-E Series
A 4-channel touchscreen bench scope that grows with you: 60 to 200 MHz bandwidth, up to 14-bit resolution and 1 GSa/s sampling — expandable with a built-in waveform generator, multimeter and battery. From €388.
One bench instrument, up to four tools
The OWON XDS3000-E is OWON’s “N-in-1” 4-channel benchtop family: every model pairs four analog channels with an 8-inch 800 × 600 multi-touch display, up to 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and a 40M record length. The E models use a low-noise 8-bit ADC; the AE models step up to a switchable 8 / 12 / 14-bit ADC that resolves up to 64× finer vertical detail for ripple, noise and small-signal work.
What makes it “N-in-1”: the same box can carry a built-in 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator, a 3¾-digit multimeter and a rechargeable battery pack — a compact one-instrument bench for lab, classroom and field. Serial decoding (RS232, I²C, SPI, CAN) comes factory-installed on our units, with SCPI and LabVIEW support for remote control.
Why the XDS3000-E
Four channels, a touchscreen and up to 14-bit resolution — with the options to become a complete portable test bench.
Up to 14-bit resolution
E models run a clean 8-bit ADC; AE models switch between 8, 12 and 14-bit modes — up to 4096–16,384 vertical levels for far finer signal detail.
ADC resolution is how many levels the input range is divided into: 8-bit gives 256, 12-bit 4096, 14-bit 16384.
More bits resolve small signals riding on large ones. At 8 bits a 5 mV ripple on a 5 V rail falls below one code step and is invisible. Higher resolution usually costs bandwidth, so the modes are switchable rather than always-on.
In practice: Measuring switching ripple on a DC rail: flat at 8 bits, clearly shaped at 12 or 14 bits.
Fast, colour-graded display
Up to 70,000 wfms/s waveform capture with multi-level grayscale and colour-temperature display makes rare glitches and signal history visible at a glance.
A large multi-touch display with pinch-zoom and drag, that also accepts a mouse and keyboard.
Spectrum work is reading detail in a trace. A bigger, higher-resolution screen means markers, limit lines and the trace itself stay legible at the same time, and dragging a span is faster than stepping a value with a knob.
In practice: Zooming into a 200 kHz slice of a 3 GHz span by pinching, rather than typing a new centre frequency and span.
N-in-1: generator, DMM, battery
Add a built-in 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator, a 3¾-digit multimeter and a 13,200 mAh battery — one instrument instead of four.
Internal lithium-ion power and a rugged case, so the instrument works away from a bench and a mains socket.
The measurement often has to happen where the problem is — up a mast, in a plant room, in a vehicle. An instrument that has to be carried to the fault and run for a few hours changes what can be diagnosed on the day.
In practice: Tracing interference across a site on foot, taking readings at each location without hunting for power.
Decode & connect
RS232, I²C, SPI and CAN decoding factory-installed, plus USB host/device, LAN, Trig Out, PictBridge printing and optional VGA — with SCPI & LabVIEW support.
