My audio customers are those who own hi-end audio equipment. I built and sold a hybrid tube-mosfet power amp called Moscode with a company called NY Audio Labs in 80s. Also, I built and serviced tube preamps and Futterman and Counterpoint OTL amplifiers, (OTL-output transformer-less tube amplifiers). I have made a lot of improvements in those product and have offered upgrades as well as repairs for the last 35 years. I'm one of the few guys who actually know the ins an outs of this stuff only experience can bring and audiophiles respect me because I'm a musician and I have good ears, which is the final test equipment, just like your eyes are for your TV. I went to the NY HIFI show when I was 12, around 19*% or so. The sound and the music both grabbed me. Due to this technology the minimal voltage per division is only 500µV. Another part of this technology is a new way of constantly triggering the Here, you can see we have DUT input (the direct signal from the generator) connected to Oscilloscope channel 1. The scope CH2 is connected to the DUT output (the through connection).

As for the sampling rate, this instrument delivers 1GSa/sec. Previous customers would recommend this scope because of the four channels featured. Serial Decoding : Comes with popular serial communication interfaces like I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuits), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter), CAN (Controller Area Network), LIN (Local Interconnect Network) along with free serial decoding feature, which means that you can use it without purchasing a separate key. Also, on-screen tabulation of those serial values gives a better understanding to the user. I'm not starting out, I've had a bench setup for a couple decades, but put off buying a scope because I didn't need one right away and then didn't know what to get, and didn't want an old school scope (which is all I really need, but I like newer tech). These days I have an Aoyue 2703A+ iron, and it's great. Toroid ISB-060W isolation transformer, a Tekpower TP3005P power supply, and lots of other little test equipment for my needs. So it really comes down to what scope will suit me without being wasteful. The question is, which one do you need? While Siglent Technologies has a better oscilloscope, some users may not need all that power. For basic tasks, Rigol’s unit may be the best choice. ConclusionThe number of protocol decoders for Sigrok is also growing. The rate seems to be around 1 protocol each month on average. The great performance put up by this oscilloscope is possible due to a combination of great design, controls, and plenty of useful features. Everyone working with electronics, whether they’re beginners or professionals, would get their money’s worth after trying out this instrument. Design

There’s no doubt that the Siglent SDS1104X-E is among the most efficient digital oscilloscopes currently available. The many features included deliver remarkable performance providing useful new characteristics such as the built-in web server. We’ll talk about that later. First, let’s talk about the unit’s design. Design Looking at bare squiggly lines on a screen is not very usefull. How many decoders do you have with your LA?

Unlike a CRO you can't just operate a DSO cold turkey and the need to study the manual is paramount. The reason why I bought the SLA1016 is because it combines with the oscilloscope to create a mixed signal scope with 16 digital channels and 4 analog channels. When I use my scope half if not most of the channels are used for digital signals anyway, so this not only frees up analog channels for me but also adds a ton of extra digital channels. For me it literally just doubled if not quadrupled the value of my scope (aka. how useful it is to me). The Bode function is also included with SDS1104X-E, SDS1204X-E, SDS2000X-E, SDS2000X Plus, SDS5000X, and SDS6000A series digital oscilloscopes. If too high on a shelf it's difficult to rest 3 fingers on the top of the DSO so to have good control of the thumb and forefinger to make precise adjustments. Likewise when a numerical value needs changing we have another feature so that when the encoder is pressed a virtual keypad appears that we can select digits or letters (depending on menu) and the multiplier and while this can seem laborious it's much faster than spinning the encoder to a desired value.

A full and final review of these functions listed above will be published later, after a firmware with the necessary fixes has been released. My usual work flow is not heavy. I'm semi - retired. Repairs are part-time and only for my former customers and as a hobby for me during the covid mess which has sidelined me and all musicians for the last year. Operations and Windowing Techniques:It also has some really good mathematical operations for an entry level ‘scope such as: signal addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and of course a smooth FFT function, credit to its hardware coprocessor.Unlike some other units available at a similar price range, the Rigol DS1054Z offers four channels instead of two. The starter bandwidth is 50MHz, but the unit is capable of upgrading to 100 MHz. Another upgradeable feature is memory depth, which can go from 12 to 24Mpts.
