Which DSO is better and why?

(1/4) > >>

PeterG:
Hi all,
    i am looking for a new DSO, it has come down to a choice between 2 units. The Rigol DS1102E and the Atten ADS1102CM. Both are 100Mhz and both have similar specs, i think the Atten is a little higher spec. Both have 3 year australian warranty.

Anyone got any ideas on these two or other DSOs in the same price bracket.

Regards
peter

alm:
Atten have been fined in the past for copying Rigol's design, not sure if that applies to these models. From the specs, GW Instek looks pretty good.

EEVblog:
You do know the Rigol 1102E is rip-off, and you can hack the cheaper 1052E to get the same 100MHz?

Also, these scopes are stupidly expensive in Oz compared with overseas, although the low aussie dollar at the moment does not help that.

See the other thread about the Instek DSO, it looks to be the new bang-per-buck winner.

saturation:
For 100Mhz between both units I would give serious consideration to hacking the 1052E for half the money you've budgeted.
Dave's forum has probably the largest concentration of 1052E hack hits so it worth searching for detailed discussions spanning almost 1 year.

Simon:
yea I think that hack alone brought many people to this forum, just by searching on google for the scope after seeing it on ebay brought me to the website
