Title: Rigol DS1054Z, DS1074Z or DS1104Z to bump up to 100MHz
Post by: 366Cobra on December 07, 2014, 10:03:23 pm
Hi All,

I am wanting to buy a Rigol 4 channel scope - am a hobbyist.
Have been reading a lot about Rigol DS1054Z, DS1074Z and DS1104Z and bumping the first two up to 100MHz.
What I have not been able to find is, if the hardware in all of them is the same and that the software selects the MHz.

Since budget is an issue, can I get a DS1054Z and bump it up to a DS1104Z?
Or would it make more sense to get a DS1074Z and bump it up to a DS1104Z

At the moment I do not need 100MHz, but I like things to be future proof.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks
Martin
