Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

it's old, but was a good scope - i think you can soft-hack it to 200MHz.
and 100 is NOT slow!
i think there are some eevblog vids on it.

Yes, but it's about hacking the DS1052E to do 100Mhz LIKE the DS1102E I'm trying to get. Not sure if the same can be done to this one to bump it even higher...

Remember my pump project where I seem to be having noise issues ? It's one instance where it can come in handy, I reckon....I'll have to follow back if I actually get one, since I've never used a scope and don't know what to do with it anyway

Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

4 years later (...) I found a Rigol DS1102e at a price I'm actually willing to pay (...) a bandwidth of 100Mhz is on the low side....

IMO the main drawback it's not its bandwidth (100MHz, 1Gsa/s) but its low resolution screen (320 x 240) for a 5.7" size display.

Yeah, looking at it more closely myself, it looks fairly MEH....like one of those things you grab off Ali, but what you pay is what you get I guess.....

Around 300 Eur, converted.

Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

fuck that.
you can get the 4channel 1000z series for as low as 350 if you look around.
100MHz capable, networking, 6 years more advanced.

Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

check out Siglent, they make decent scopes for the money. 100Mhz is all I ever needed. Of course 200Mhz is better, but so far didn't need it.

Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

you wont get a sig' in europe for under 400 though, they are much more expensive than in the u.s.
which is strange given they are chinese.

when i got my rigol it was a choice of 4 channels rigol or 2 channels sig AND the sig was still about 50 more expensive!!

Re: First oscilloscope thoughts

a Siglent here is also more expensive than a Rigol. It may be different for the USA, but here we get taxed stiff for imports.
