What else can I do with RIGOL DS1054Z appart from measuring waveforms?

[wraper]

This is because Dave in his comparison didn't use the Deep Memory feature (switching the mode from "Trace" to "Memory") available in new Rigol DS1054Z firmware versions (Dave you were unfair and many people believed in your review).  This is how you get the real FFT on the DS1054Z

Little bit better than it was but still a completely useless joke.

Let's see: The cheapest spectrum analyzer on Batronix is over $1000

But somehow you want that included as standard in a $400 oscilloscope?   

Hey, don't let that stop you wrecking another DS1054Z thread though. Gotta keep the standards up.

Hopefully this tread won't be derailed but GW instek somehow offers 1 million point  FFT in their <$400 GDS-1054B. Which is proven to work very well. And after the firmware update, it became much easier to use than on Daves's video where he admits it works well but don't like clunky control.

Frankly you should be the last person saying this, because you are bashing every other scope other than Rigol in non Rigol treads. Or bringing other manufacturers in treads about Rigol issues and derailing them in this way.

Gentlemen, can we please stop turning yet another thread into a useless argument about the value or non-value of Rigol's FFT implementation? As already confirmed by Athanasis, the application he is interested in has nothing to do with FFT.
Thanks!

This guy is selling a Keisight on ebay, and try to blame the best performance value on the market ( rigol ) to help he find buyers interested this expensive crap time bomb

Really? Examples please.

No don't bother. I already know what you're thinking. It's true I did mention "Rigol" in both of the threads about Keysight failures - but only to point out that people like you were defending Keysight where you'd be attacking Rigol. Outside of those two threads? Not a chance. Why on earth would I go into a thread about more expensive scopes and say anything about Rigol. I freely admit that more expensive scopes are better - why wouldn't they be?

Sure, but the $400 GW-Instek is only 50Mhz,  no serial decoders, less memory... it loses out to the Rigol on other ways.

Besides, not everybody is obsessed by FFTs. The fact that the DS1054Z's FFT is a weak point doesn't mean that people shouldn't buy them

LOL, really? Guess who is topic starter: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/agilent-u1272a-crappy-soldering/

Sigh.

+1 or  I don't know what came out first.

What did you expect other than another pissing competition. 

[wraper]

Back to the topic. If you manage to sweep CH1 so the whole frequency range fits inside the screen (roll mode could be useful for this) and measure the voltage with CH2 then you can get something like what asked in the first post. There won't be any frequency divisions on the screen, however if you want to check precisely, you can later zoom in (acquisition stopped) and check the frequency at particular part with automated measurement. And you can check actual voltage at this frequency in this part with automated voltage measurement on CH2.

[nctnico]

Another solution would be to use segmented recording (trigger on the sine wave) and read the values from automatic measurements while scrolling through the segments.

[Athanasis]

Thanks for your suggestions guys but they all sound pain in the ass. The best solution is exporting into Excel of lets say 100 different Values on 2 columns (CH1 and CH2) and let Excel plot the curve. I haven't tried it out yet but I read that Rigol can write Data on a USB memory stick.

[bitseeker]

Yes, you can write the waveform data in CSV format to a USB stick. Then, load it into your favorite spreadsheet and make graphs.
