OWON VDS6000 Series
A 100 MHz USB oscilloscope that turns your laptop into a full 2- or 4-channel scope — 1 GSa/s real-time sampling, 10 Mpts deep memory and switchable 8 or 14-bit resolution, in an ultra-thin case with USB-C and optional Wi-Fi.
Turn any computer into an oscilloscope
The OWON VDS6000 Series is a PC-based (virtual) oscilloscope: a compact, ultra-thin USB box that connects to your laptop and puts a full 100 MHz, 2- or 4-channel scope on your screen — with 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and 10 Mpts of record length behind a large, comfortable software display.
There is no small built-in screen to squint at: you get your whole monitor for the waveform, easy screenshots and data export, and a big 14-bit resolution jump on the “A” models. Software runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, and SCPI, LabVIEW and secondary-development support make it just as happy inside an automated test setup.
Why the VDS6000
Real bandwidth and resolution, a full-size software display and true portability — a serious scope that lives in your laptop bag.
2 or 4 channels, 100 MHz
Pick 2 (VDS6102) or 4 (VDS6104) BNC channels, each with 100 MHz bandwidth, 1 GSa/s real-time sampling and 10 Mpts of deep memory.
USB-C, LAN & Wi-Fi
A single USB-C cable carries data and power. Add LAN or an optional Wi-Fi adapter to place the box near the signal and keep your laptop at the bench.
Runs on your PC — any OS
Software for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, with standard SCPI and LabVIEW plus secondary-development documents for custom integration.
Ultra-thin & travel-ready
Just 190 × 120 × 18 mm and about 0.38 kg in a solid aluminium case — it slips into a laptop bag with a supplied silicone bumper.
Who it’s for & best applications
Because it uses the computer you already own for its display and processing, the VDS6000 is an affordable, space-saving way to add real oscilloscope capability — ideal for education, makers, field service and anyone who wants a big screen and easy data capture without a bulky benchtop instrument.
- Education, training labs & student benches
- Makers, hobbyists & home electronics
- Field service & on-site troubleshooting with a laptop
- Space- or budget-limited benches
- Automated test & data logging (SCPI / LabVIEW)
- General electronics, audio & power-supply debugging
- Microcontroller & embedded development
- Long captures & screenshots straight to your PC
- High-resolution 14-bit capture on the “A” models
- Custom software via SCPI & secondary development
Choose your model
Four models — two 2-channel and two 4-channel — all sharing 100 MHz bandwidth, 1 GSa/s sampling and 10 Mpts memory. The “A” models step the vertical resolution up from 8-bit to 14-bit for cleaner, more detailed captures. Click any model to view its full specifications, pricing and to buy.
