General
Sampling rate 1 channel	1 GS/s
Sampling rate ETS mode	50 GS/s

The Metrix DOX2100B is a digital bench oscilloscope designed for use in laboratory environments. It features two channels with a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for the precise capture and analysis of electrical signals in various application areas. The device is characterised by a compact, space-saving housing that efficiently utilises workspace, while simultaneously offering high performance density. The 7-inch ¼-VGA colour display enables clear and detailed representation of measurement signals with up to 18 divisions on the X-axis, ensuring optimal display for different signal shapes.

Applications

The DOX2100B is designed for use in laboratory environments, electronic circuit development, maintenance and testing of devices, as well as in training. The high bandwidth and detailed signal recording make it particularly suitable for analysing high-frequency signals, digital interfaces, and transient events. The integrated PASS/FAIL function supports quality control by checking signals against predefined envelope curves, enabling quick decisions.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The oscilloscope offers a maximum sampling rate of 500 MS/s for two channels and 1 GS/s for one channel in Single Shot mode. In ETS mode (Equivalent Time Sampling), it achieves a sampling rate of up to 50 GS/s, enabling detailed analysis of high-frequency signals. Vertical sensitivity ranges from 2 mV/div to 10 V/div, covering a wide range of signal amplitudes. The timebase can be set from 2.5 ns/div to 50 s/div, allowing flexible adaptation to different signal speeds.

Technology Explained Simply

The maximum memory depth of 2 million points ensures that even complex and slow signals can be recorded with high resolution. The 32 automatic measurement functions allow simultaneous display of parameters such as amplitude, frequency, pulse width, and others, enabling quick signal analysis without manual input. Additionally, manual cursor measurements are available to precisely capture specific points in the signal waveform. The 5 MATH functions, including real-time FFT analysis, allow for deeper signal processing, for example, frequency analysis or calculation of signal amplifications.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device features multiple communication interfaces, including USB Host and USB Device, enabling direct connection to a PC. The EASYSCOPE software supports remote control, data backup, and transfer of curve files and screen copies. The software is designed for controlling and evaluating measurement results and extends the oscilloscope’s functionality in laboratory environments. Additional functions such as digital filters, auto-calibration, ROLL mode, and RECORDER mode expand application possibilities and support users in signal processing and documentation.

Mounting and Installation

The DOX2100B is designed as a benchtop instrument and requires no special mounting. It features a foldable handle and non-slip feet to ensure secure placement on the workbench. Operation is via a menu available in five languages, with context help provided in English. Device configuration is performed via the user interface, and connection to a PC is made through the USB interfaces.

Advantages in Operation

The combination of high bandwidth, large memory depth, and diverse analysis functions makes the DOX2100B a powerful tool for professional users. Real-time FFT analysis and PASS/FAIL functions increase efficiency in signal testing. The USB interfaces and EASYSCOPE software enable seamless integration into existing workflows and simplify documentation and further processing of measurement results. The compact design and portability, thanks to the integrated handle, also make it suitable for mobile applications.

Protection Rating and Safety

The device complies with safety standard IEC 61010-1 and is designed for an operating voltage of 300 V CAT II, ensuring safe use in laboratory environments. The construction meets requirements for electrical safety when measuring voltages in electronic devices and circuits.
