OWON XDS3000 Series
The scope that becomes your whole bench: 60 to 300 MHz, 2 or 4 channels, an 8, 12 or 14-bit ADC and a 40M record — with an arbitrary waveform generator, a multimeter, Wi-Fi and a battery available as built-in modules. From €388.
One instrument, as many tools as you need
The XDS3000 is OWON’s “n-in-1” benchtop family. Every model shares the same ultra-thin 340 × 177 × 90 mm chassis, an 8-inch 800 × 600 display and a 40M record length — then lets you decide how much instrument you need inside it. Bandwidth runs from 60 MHz to 300 MHz, sampling to 2.5 GSa/s, and the “A” models carry a switchable 8 / 12 / 14-bit ADC that resolves up to 64× finer vertical detail than an ordinary 8-bit scope.
What makes it n-in-1 is the module bay: the same box can hold a 25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator, a 3¾-digit multimeter with data logging, a Wi-Fi module for phone and tablet control, a capacitive multi-touch screen, VGA output and a 13,200 mAh battery for floating measurements. Serial triggering and on-screen decoding for RS232, I²C, SPI and CAN are available as factory-fitted decode kits, and SCPI plus LabVIEW are standard for automated work.
Why the XDS3000
Four things set this range apart from an ordinary 8-bit bench scope in the same price bracket.
Up to 14-bit resolution
The “A” models switch between 8, 12 and 14-bit modes — 256, 4096 or 16,384 vertical levels. On the XDS3202A that means 200 MHz at 8-bit, 150 MHz at 12-bit and 20 MHz at 14-bit, so you trade bandwidth for vertical detail exactly when ripple, noise or a small signal on a big offset demands it.
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 75,000 waveforms per second, with multi-level grayscale and colour-temperature display on the 200 and 300 MHz models: how often a point is hit is painted into the trace, so a rare glitch stands out instead of hiding in the persistence.
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, Wi-Fi, battery
Order the chassis with a 25 MHz 1- or 2-channel arbitrary waveform generator, a 4000-count multimeter, a Wi-Fi module, a touchscreen, a VGA port and a 13,200 mAh battery. One box replaces a scope, a generator, a meter and a logger on a crowded bench.
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, log and automate
Trigger and decode RS232, I²C, SPI and CAN with the factory-fitted decode kits; log to USB; print over PictBridge; drive the scope from a PC over LAN or USB with SCPI and LabVIEW. A frequency counter and a full maths set including FFT, integration, differentiation and four digital filters come as standard.
LAN, USB and the SCPI command set let the instrument be driven from a PC, and its screen and data pulled off it, without anyone standing at the front panel.
Anything you do twice you will do a hundred times. SCPI over LXI, USBTMC or a raw socket means a test sequence runs unattended and logs to file, and LabVIEW or IVI drivers drop it into a rig you already have.
In practice: A production check that sweeps five bands, compares each against a limit line and writes pass/fail to CSV — the operator presses one key instead of setting the analyser up five times per unit.
Who it’s for & best applications
The XDS3000 suits the bench that has to do everything: design, service, teaching and field work — with the option to skip buying a second and third instrument.
- Electronics design and debugging that needs more than 8 bits of vertical detail
- Service and repair benches with limited space
- Education and training rooms (VGA output, 4-channel models)
- Embedded and automotive work with RS232, I²C, SPI and CAN buses
- Field and floating measurements with the battery module
- Power-supply ripple and noise in 12 or 14-bit mode
- Switching-converter and motor-drive timing across 4 channels
- Serial-bus debugging with on-screen decode
- Stimulus-response testing with the built-in generator
- Long captures on the 40M record for intermittent faults
- Automated production test over SCPI / LabVIEW
Choose your model
The family splits in two: dual-channel models (2 channels + external trigger) that go all the way to 300 MHz and 2.5 GSa/s, and four-channel models that top out at 200 MHz but give you four simultaneous inputs. Within each line, an A in the model number means the switchable 8 / 12 / 14-bit ADC, and an E means the economical 8-bit version. Click any model for its full specifications.
Dual-channel models — 60 to 300 MHz
Two independent channels plus an external trigger input, and the only models in the family that reach 300 MHz and 2.5 GSa/s.

These are factory-fitted options, ordered with the instrument rather than added later — tell us which ones you want and we quote the exact build. The battery is also sold separately.
25 MHz arbitrary waveform generator
A built-in 1- or 2-channel arbitrary/function generator: 14-bit, 125 MSa/s, 2 mVpp – 6 Vpp, 8K waveform length, sine, square, ramp and pulse plus user-defined arbitrary shapes.
3¾-digit multimeter
A 4000-count digital multimeter inside the scope: DC to 1000 V, AC to 750 V, current to 10 A, resistance to 40 MΩ, capacitance, diode and continuity — with data logging.
Wi-Fi module
Connect the scope to a phone or tablet over Wi-Fi for remote control and live display of the measurement results through the OWON app.
Capacitive multi-touch screen
Replaces the standard 8-inch LCD with a multi-point capacitive touchscreen — pinch to zoom the timebase, drag cursors and swipe through menus.
VGA + AV port
Mirrors the display to a monitor, projector or classroom screen — the usual choice for education and demonstration benches.
Serial decode kits
RS232, I²C and SPI decoding as one kit, CAN decoding as a second: trigger on and decode bus traffic directly on the waveform.
