Hi! Guys,
I been corresponding with ATTEN EU about problems I am having with ATTEN DSO re labeled as a DIGITECH and found out that ATTEN Oscilloscopes are made by SIGLENT which is owned by the same person who owns ATTEN.
So if you buy an ATTEN DSO it is made by SIGLENT and re-branded as an ATTEN.
I bought a QC1932 branded as a DIGITECH it developed bad internal noise. I returned it under warranty and after a few months wait they replaced it with a brand new Scope. Great I said I can finally get those jobs done, unfortunately after plugging it in I find the internal noise is worse than my old one.
My local dealer told me to keep it for the weekend and see how it goes. Well I seem to have got a complete disaster Every time I tried to set it up it took 10 goes to get it to accept Peak Detect then I try to set the trigger same thing every time I try to input a mode it jumps to another setting.
Does anyone else have problems with a re-branded DSO or am I just unlucky?
One thing I found out is that an ATTEN DSO in the EU has differant components in it. They had problems and requested better quality components from SIGLENT and they offered to sell me a higher grade 40meg model,4meg memory including freight and packed in a wooden box for $549 Au. They say it should only cost about $214 for the top model 25meg DSO with top memory 4megs. and a 7" screen also. How much profit do Australian companies want to make, I know I am totally at a loss as to what is a good reasonably priced DSO.
