The Rigol DS1052E

<< < (84/166) > >>

darkith:
Been on the market for a new scope (my poorly calibrated 20mhz analog's pots and switches are getting spotty).  I had looked at the Rigol C or D series previously, but held off.
Course, when I saw this, I had to act (before Rigol updates the firmware or releases a new model).  Picked up my 1052E from MIB Tools for a bit over $400 USD shipped EMS to Canada.  Arrived last night.  Had no DB9-DB9 serial cable on hand since all I had were DB25s.  Gave up on finding one, scavenged a few old serial mice and put together a 3-wire serial cable.

Now enjoying my DS1102E. 
Thanks all,
D.

Anyone else have any experiences with MIB Tools to share? Just had a look at their site - doesn't say what currency the prices are in... If it's Hong Kong dollars the prices are almost too good - any catches?

Thx

Crikey, it'll take me ages to go through all these back posts and stuff!
Anyone got a pointer to the exact method used?

Thanks
Dave.

darkith:
KTP's summary is pretty good:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=30.msg3010#msg3010
3-wire serial at 9600.

Note that you can use your serial number, just change DS1EDxxx to DS1EBxxx

No way are those prices HKD.  The $549 on the website is probably the same list price as the $549 USD but it now on ebay.  I'd *strongly* suggest emailing them directly for a better price or making an offer through ebay.  They were pretty quick to match DealExtreme's EMS shipping price (which according to a forum post has been out of stock or slow to ship for a while).  They also sweetened the deal with a free gift...a USB card reader.  Wheeeeee.....  :P

Cheers,
D.
