Looking for a digital oscilloscope

Re: Looking for a digital oscilloscope

US seller as title does not say much when it comes down to a warranty plan.
You should contact RIGOL about checking if this seller is truly an authorized reseller.
If it is used or refurbished this is a completely different story.

Agree. Saelig would have been my choice, but I don't know the other seller.

Before 24 hours you was not aware of what scope to get, and now you have buy one and it is delivered to you?

Well I can not follow this conversation any more.
And actualy I do think that this topic is bad joke.

I don't think it's been delivered. He was just saying that the one he purchased is brand new.

Correct

Re: Looking for a digital oscilloscope

I just wonder about the Owon/Rigol. I do recall some DSOs that are "slow" to respond to input changes (as in, though it records/stores it, it takes a second before it's displayed). I don't recall which one I was playing with, but it was a little annoying.

This is something an analog doesn't have... how "slow" are typical DSOs these days (and which one is the fastest, so I get something that works similar to my analog?)

The Owon has an extremely slow screen update rate, which is one of the biggest complaints about it. The Rigol is much better in this department.

All the low budget scopes they remind a Mastech or UNI-T multimeter which jumps around due it slowness.
And I am not saying anything new here.

My dream was to get something that is announced as fast, and truly is fast in my eyes.

Fast translates to sensitive enough to present on screen finest detail (high screen resolution) and significant amount of data points, with one acceptable speed which will give you the confidence that it responds spontaneously in every change.

Honestly I did pee my pants from happiness because of this GDS-2102A.
In my location there is no much chances for try-out and returns especially about scopes.
Yes it belongs to another price point, but I am aware that I would not be happy with anything less.

The good part is than now I can offer an opinion to a professional that at about 1200$, yes you can touch quality.

Interesting, I will have to scratch off the Owon unless price is cheaper.
I suppose I've gotten used to LA's that have this delay so it may not be way so bad, but yeah "spoiled" by analog... hahahaha!

Re: Looking for a digital oscilloscope

I bought an Owon PDS5022S before I purchased my Rigol DS1052E. I quickly returned it after doing more thorough research. Also, that model was only 20 MHz.
