A real oscilloscope, powered by your PC

The OWON VDS series is a PC-based (virtual) oscilloscope: an ultra-thin USB box — just 18 mm thick — that draws its power from the USB port and puts the full oscilloscope display on your computer screen. Choose from 25, 60 or 100 MHz bandwidth with 2 or 4 channels, up to 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and up to 10M record length.

The software gives you your whole monitor for the waveform — with X-Y and FFT views alongside the trace, multi-trigger options, easy screenshots and data export, and SCPI support for automation. The VDS1022I adds USB isolation, protecting your PC and cleaning up the measurement when the circuit under test shares grounds.

Why the VDS series

Proven, affordable USB scopes that pack real bandwidth and deep memory into a case the size of a paperback.

OWON VDS2064 four-channel PC oscilloscope

2 or 4 channels, 25–100 MHz

From the 2-channel VDS1022 to the 4-channel, 100 MHz VDS3104 — every model adds a multi-function channel for external trigger or Pass/Fail output.

USB powered, LAN option

Powered straight from the USB bus — no adapter needed. LAN remote control is optional, and the VDS1022I isolates its USB port for extra protection.

Who it’s for & best applications

With prices from €90, the VDS series is the most affordable way to put a genuine OWON oscilloscope on every bench — it uses the PC you already own for its display, power and storage, so there is almost nothing else to buy.

Ideal for

Education, training labs & student benches
Makers, hobbyists & home electronics
Field service & on-site troubleshooting with a laptop
Tight budgets — a real scope from €90
Automated test & data logging (SCPI)

Typical applications
