New (?) Rigol scopes (DS2102E and DS2202E)

[Gabri74]

Just received an email from TEquipment about two new (?) rigol scopes (see screenshoots attached).

647$ for the 100MHz version, 847$ for the 200Mhz version.

Copy pasted from the email:

• 1GSa/sec on all channels provides full 5X oversampling all the time
• Free Serial Decode/Trigger supports most of today's common standards
• 28M Record Length on all channels enables long captures to find elusive problems
• Vibrant 8 Inch Intensity Graded Display provides easy observation and analysis
• Waveform Record/Capture, Advanced Math, and 17 trigger types

Free decoders...It seems that Siglent has shaked a little bit the market  :-)

The specs are identical to the DS2000A, so it seems they have only added the free decoders and changed the Rigol logo yellow to blue.
I guess it makes sense to create a new part number to avoid confusion with the old one.

Not quite. In dual channel mode they're similar (or perhaps even identical) but in single channel mode the A-model is a bit different.
In dual channel mode they both sample at 1GSa/s but in single channel mode the DS2000A can sample at 2GSa/s. Both mopdels can get you 28Mpts per channel in dual channel mode while only the A-model can give you 56Mpts in single channel mode.

Ops, missed it, sorry for double posting on the same subject.
