Lightweight, Affordable, and Surprisingly Powerful: GDS-912/GDS-912G Oscilloscope

In a market increasingly dominated by high-performance expectations and tight budgets, GW Instek is challenging the status quo with the global launch of its latest 100 MHz digital storage oscilloscopes: the GDS-912 and GDS-912G. With the promise of “balanced pricing and specifications, featherweight in size, heavyweight in performance,” these compact instruments are set to redefine value in entry-level test and measurement equipment for education, R&D, and light industrial sectors.

At just 1.1 kg, the GDS-912 series is remarkably portable yet uncompromising in performance. It boasts a 7-inch widescreen display with 15 horizontal divisions, providing 50% more signal visibility than standard displays—an asset for engineers and students alike who require clarity in complex signal environments.

Despite its size, the GDS-912 series punches above its weight. It delivers a 1 GS/s real-time sampling rate and 20 Mpts memory depth per channel, enabling engineers to capture long-duration transients without compromising resolution at lower time bases. Whether you're observing inrush currents or complex modulation signals, the GDS-912 ensures no critical data is lost.

The GDS-912G variant adds even more functionality with a built-in 25 MHz Arbitrary Function Generator, making it an all-in-one compact testing platform for signal generation and analysis (more info).
