Oscilloscopes & Bench Test Equipment
30 products available
Compel stocks oscilloscopes and bench test instruments for electronics manufacturing, maintenance and field service. Industrial teams rely on accurate waveform verification, frequency synthesis and bus validation across production lines and service depots. Our range covers benchtop and USB digital oscilloscope units, dual-channel function generator hardware and compact handheld instruments for field diagnostics.
Alongside the scopes we supply dedicated logic analyser and spectrum analyser hardware for signal tracing, plus vector network analysers for RF work. Technicians can choose a benchtop arbitrary waveform generator or a handheld oscilloscope multimeter that combines scope and meter in one case. Every listing carries the instrument's own specification table, so you can match bandwidth, sample rate and input voltage to the job before ordering.

Matching Analogue Bandwidth and Sampling Rate
Evaluating an industrial digital oscilloscope begins with bandwidth and real-time sampling rate. Capturing high-speed transitions without distortion requires adequate frequency headroom across all active channels. Our benchtop instruments provide bandwidth ratings such as 70MHz in the 6074BE series up to 250MHz in model 6254BE, while model 1014D delivers 100MHz analogue bandwidth per channel. When testing multi-channel systems, check whether bandwidth divides across inputs. For instance, DSO3D12 maintains 120MHz with CH1 only, dropping to 60MHz with CH1 and CH2 active.
Real-time sample rate directly dictates transient capture accuracy. Bench units achieve up to 1GSa/s real-time capture, while portable platforms deliver rates ranging from 2.5MS/s in DSO152 up to 250MS/s in 2C53T. Fast edge evaluation also demands low rise time, such as under 3ns found on DSO3D12.
- Bandwidth coverage across models: 200kHz, 1MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz, 24MHz, 50MHz, 70MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz, 150MHz, and 250MHz
- Sampling capacity: Real-time acquisition from 2.4MSa/s up to 1GSa/s
- Input impedance ratings: Standard 1MΩ, 25pF or 250kΩ / 15pF configurations
Selecting Benchtop Hardware versus a Handheld Oscilloscope
Field maintenance requires different equipment profiles than fixed electronics production benches. A dedicated benchtop digital oscilloscope offers large front-panel controls, mains power and deep waveform memory. For field service and control panel troubleshooting, a handheld oscilloscope or an integrated oscilloscope multimeter combines multiple service tools into one portable housing.
Compact hybrid tools minimize carry weight while maintaining diagnostic scope. The dual-channel 2C53T combines an oscilloscope, multimeter, and signal generator into one chassis with 250MS/s sampling. Field units like DST-210 deliver 19999 Counts TRMS metering alongside scope functions, with scope inputs up to 800Vpp on a 10:1 probe.
- Bench signal generators: AC 100-240V powered units such as the 24MHz dual-channel generator, measuring 280 x 220 x 85 mm and weighing 2.1 kg
- Field portability: Handheld units featuring 2.8in screens and battery power
- Hybrid test capacity: handheld oscilloscope multimeters with 19999-count True RMS metering
Integrating a Signal Generator, Logic Analyser, or Spectrum Analyser
Modern troubleshooting frequently requires stimulus-response testing where generating known reference signals is mandatory. Pairing oscilloscopes with an arbitrary waveform generator or dedicated function generator allows technicians to inject clean sine, square, triangle, or pulse waves into circuits under test. The UTG932E supplies frequency generation up to 30MHz, while the UTG962E reaches 60MHz with 14-bit vertical resolution and 200MSa/s sampling.
For mixed-signal firmware debugging and bus verification, logic analyser hardware captures high-density digital communication lines simultaneously. Units such as DLA-16 Plus or DLA-32 Plus trace multi-channel digital logic states across complex microcontrollers. When assessing RF signal distribution or harmonic distortion, a spectrum analyser or vector network analyser such as LiteVNA 64 or NanoVNA-H4 validates high-frequency impedance matching across transmission lines.
- Signal generation: Arbitrary waveform outputs covering 24MHz, 30MHz, 60MHz, and up to 100MHz
- Digital bus decoding: High-density logic analyser configurations including DLA-16 Plus and DLA-32 Plus
- RF characterization: High-frequency analysers including LiteVNA 64, NanoVNA-H4, and DeepVNA 101
Buying guide
Choosing Oscilloscopes & Bench Test Equipment
- How do I choose between a benchtop digital oscilloscope and a handheld oscilloscope multimeter?
- Base your selection on mobility demands and input channel requirements. A benchtop digital oscilloscope such as the 1014D provides high sampling rates up to 1GSa/s and dedicated control knobs for continuous workshop testing. A handheld oscilloscope multimeter like model 2C53T combines electrical metering with waveform visualization, offering convenient battery-powered diagnostics inside tight industrial control enclosures.
- What probe attenuation settings should I use for higher input voltages?
- On the 1014D, a 1X probe limits bandwidth to 5MHz and the maximum test voltage to 40V; switching to 10X opens the full 100MHz and raises the maximum test voltage to 400V. Always check the vertical sensitivity range and the rated test voltage on the product listing, such as 50mV/div to 500V/div or 10mV/div to 10V/div, before connecting to an unknown circuit.
- When should I add an arbitrary waveform function generator to my test bench?
- A dedicated function generator or arbitrary signal generator is required when technicians must simulate sensor outputs, generate clock pulses, or stress-test circuit response curves. Standalone instruments like UTG932E provide precise sine frequencies from 1µHz to 30MHz with 14-bit vertical resolution, allowing repeatable validation before live hardware commissioning.
- Can I connect an automotive oscilloscope directly to an ignition system?
- Not directly. The eight-channel 1008C automotive oscilloscope reads ignition signals through its dedicated ignition probe; the 1008A version comes without that probe. Check the input impedance (1MΩ) and the voltage ranges with each probe on the listing before testing an ignition system.
- Do these instruments come with calibration certificates?
- No calibration certificate is included unless the product listing says so. If your quality system needs a traceable ISO calibration certificate, contact Compel before ordering and we will tell you what documentation is available for that model.
