New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope

[netdudeuk]

Hi

I've just unpacked my DS1054Z and hooked up a probe (with the x1 setting) to the Compensation Signal Output Terminal and hit Auto and seen a measurement of 30V (vertical scale = 5.00V.  Is that correct ?

Thanks

Press CH1 and change it to 1X if you have the probe in 1X, then it will say 3V not 30V...

Spot on thanks Alan.  Appreciate the fast response

Sure thing!   Enjoy your new scope!

..I guess it's a popular device, but why? 

No idea. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is probably the best bang for buck scope ever built (expecially if we take into account the hacking options)

In contrast with Germany, the distributor in the Netherlands had at least one DS1054Z in stock yesterday for a friend of mine. He should receive it tomorrow.

Looks like Adafruit has 6 of these in stock, although there is a $50 premium over what seems to be the typical price.

I ended up getting mine from TEquipment

When you base your company in Manhattan you need to change a bit more to help pay the rent.  From Adafruit's site: "ALL ORDERS SHIP FROM THE ADAFRUIT FACTORY, NEW YORK, NY, USA."  I wish they had a factory store!

Adafruit need to be a bit more careful with their advertising. The first item in their bullet point list of features for the DS1054Z on that page reads:

• 4 analog channels, 16 digital channels

Yes, they did, not sure if they still can offer it from stock. Just write them an e-mail and ask, you get a reply very quickly.
Their web site is http://www.arbenelux.com/2014/08/29/nieuwe-rigol-4-kanaals-50-oscillocope-voor-e-299/
The web site is also orange colored  (pure coincidence with my avatar)

I ordered before from Batronix, and their sales volume is gigantic compared to other European dealers. The success factor is probably a good looking and working web site, in combination with fast and free shipping.
Anyhow AR Benelux has a matching price, despite the higher VAT, and including shipping. Shipping is just as fast as Batronix.

[Bert Camper]

Batronix does not have stock, they expect >21 days. arBenelux had stock 2 days ago. Their price is E294.21 excl BTW/VAT, E355.99 incl BTW/VAT in the Netherlands.

I think they got a few more in stock yeah I tried every Belgian, German, UK, Dutch web store, no stock left. Thought I'd try mailing the distributor directly, and yes !
Ordered one on Wednesday, should be here tomorrow, yey They are very friendly and helpful.

[Bert Camper]

Yes, arBenelux is very responsive, friendly and helpful. Veel succes met je mooie scoop en groet uit Nederland.

[pascal_sweden]

Do they still have any left? (Arbenelux) =)

[Bert Camper]

I don't know, you could send them an email. They respond very fast. I doubt if they send to countries outside the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg).

Ik ben Belg van origine, dus kan het laten leveren naar omgeving Leuven =)

[Bert Camper]

Oh, dat is dichtbij! Ik woon vlakbij Eindhoven.

Ik denk dat als je uiteindelijk koopt een DSO, velen van ons hier zal een hartaanval hebben. 

[pascal_sweden]

I haven't bought the scope yet, as I was waiting on some videos for the LA functionality in the MSO series. But scope will be ordered soon (other priorities now).

[carpelux]

I just received one delivered from the swedish company Instrumentcenter.se.

Delivery time a couple of days...

And in case anyone is wondering, Tequipment expects to receive a shipment at the end of the month and will be ready to ship to customers early November. I've just placed my order.

bedankt Bert !

If you are in Europe, you can get a unit from batterfly. Most of the rigol equipment I have was sourced from them and they have very reasonble prices and delivery times. The scope shipped in 24h and I had it with me in 5 working days. And they put some swag in the box for you too.

They also have a nice bundle of the DS1054Z with a hakko FX888D for 374€ which is a good bargain.

The nice thing is that they have units in stock and they keep the information updated on their web site.
These folks are from Italy.

FWIW, TEquipment would put that bundle at ~$461 shipped after applying the 6% discount (according to xe.com, 374EUR ~= 474USD), so near US prices before VAT.
