What is the main difference between MDO-2000A and MDO-2000E series? |
Please see below table
MDO-2000A | MDO-2000E | |
Bandwidth | 300M/200M/100MHz | 200M/100M/70MHz |
Sampling rate | 2GSa/s interleaved | 1GSa/s interleaved |
Memory depth | 20M/CH | 10M/CH |
Channel | 2 | 2 or 4 |
25MHz Function generator | Only on MDO-2000AG model | Yes |

What is the main difference between GDS-1000B and GDS-2000E series? |
GDS-2000E provided bus decode function; segment memory; waveform search function which not on the GDS-1000B.
For the sampling rate comparison, both series are max. 1GSa/s.For GDS-2000E series ,the max. sampling rate will keep 500MSa/s for 4CH activate and 2CH activate will keep 1GSa/s. However, for GDS-1000B series, the max. sampling rate will reduced to 250MSa/s for 4CH activate and 2CH activate will reduced t0 500MSa/s.

Why the input square waveform is looks like sine waveform in the oscilloscope. |
When the rise time or fall time of square signal is close to the period, the display waveform will looks like sine waveform.
For example, to test 25MHz square waveform.
The rise time is 0.35/25MHz=0.014us. The period is 1/25MHz=0.04us.
Since the rise time is close to the period ,the output waveform will looks like sine waveform.

How can I set frequency domain waveform display appropriately? |
Please see the main frequency value on the frequency counter on the time domain. Then set this value to center frequency of spectrum analyzer function.
Please note following 3 formula to set other parameters to get the appropriate display.

Why the max. frequency range for spectrum analyzer function is 500MHz, not as same as the max. bandwidth 200MHz? |
The max. frequency range for spectrum analyzer function is 1/2 of max. sampling rate which is limited at DSP Nyquist theory.

Is it worth buying an oscilloscope? |
Whether or not it is worth buying an oscilloscope depends on your specific needs and application. An oscilloscope is a versatile tool that can be used to measure and analyze electrical signals in a variety of applications, including electronics design, troubleshooting, and repair. If you work with electronic circuits and need to measure waveforms, an oscilloscope can be an essential tool for debugging and validating designs.
If you are a hobbyist or student working on simple circuits, a basic oscilloscope with limited features and a lower price point may be sufficient. However, if you are a professional or advanced hobbyist working with complex or high-frequency circuits, you may require a more advanced oscilloscope with higher bandwidth, sample rates, and advanced analysis features.
Before buying an oscilloscope, it is important to evaluate your needs and consider factors such as the type of signals you will be measuring, the frequency range, and the accuracy required. You should also consider your budget, as oscilloscopes can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars depending on the features and capabilities.
Overall, if you work with electronic circuits or signals on a regular basis, an oscilloscope can be a valuable investment that can save you time and help you diagnose and solve problems more quickly and accurately.

Which is better analog or digital oscilloscope? |
There is no definitive answer to whether analog or digital oscilloscopes are better, as each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the specific needs of the user.
Analog oscilloscopes can often provide higher bandwidth and faster signal acquisition rates, making them more suitable for certain applications such as high-frequency measurements or capturing fast transient signals. Additionally, some users may prefer the "live" view of the waveform that analog scopes provide, which can make it easier to spot anomalies or irregularities in the signal.
Digital oscilloscopes, on the other hand, offer a number of advantages such as increased accuracy, greater flexibility, and more advanced analysis and processing capabilities. They can also store and recall waveforms, which can be helpful for analyzing complex signals or making detailed measurements. In addition, digital oscilloscopes are often more compact and portable than their analog counterparts, and can be easier to use thanks to their intuitive user interfaces and software-based controls.
Ultimately, the choice between an analog or digital oscilloscope will depend on the specific needs of the user, as well as their budget and level of expertise with test and measurement equipment.
