Title: off: selection of an oscilloscope with a low cost
Post by: YX-360TR on October 25, 2012, 12:05:20 pm

HT100A (http://www.huatest.com/en/product_view_76_157.html) and MCH DS-2100A (http://mch.en.alibaba.com/product/510318230-212229908/100MHz_frequency_2channel_color_display_digital_storage_oscilloscope_DS_2100CA.html) vs Rigol 1102

Has anyone using the first two oscilloscope?
Are there any comments or bugs on them?

Thank you.

I've never used the first two (I own a Rigol DS1052D, very similar to the 1102, and it's great), so I can't comment much on them. Just want to warn you - your oscilloscope is one of your most-used pieces of test equipment. If you buy one that is a piece of garbage, you'll regret it very quickly, and you'll be out the money that you could have spent on a better one. In the absence of good information and reviews of the first two, I think I'd spend the extra money and get the Rigol. Even the 1052 instead of 1102 is decent, and they are about as cheap as a new, good oscilloscope can be.
