Has anybody measured the bandwidth in 1x mode?
The lack of a variable gain amplifier limits them pretty significantly. The Rigol had to change ranges quite a few times for the plot I posted.
My DSO testing has found that all of the ones I've tested alias because the filter is before the variable gain amplifier. While undesirable in certain circumstances, it does mean they are usable to 3-4x they -3 dB point for tasks like troubleshooting an RF system.
Have Fun!

I was raised to believe that a man's word was his bond.
That has NEVER been true.
Perhaps not in your circles...
Bingo!
I was going to respond "Never been in a firefight, have you?". When you tell a brother you "have his back",
YOU HAVE HIS GODDAMN BACK! You'll need him to do the same for you someday...
Hi,
Mine did arrived - Ordered as fnirsi, it comes a "yeapook"...
First look, cute toy, responsive touchscreen...

I don't think it's a bad thing to have been raised with the phrase "Caveat Emptor" burned into the psyche.

Oh, we had that one too.
if you read the entire thread you will find that I and others have been generally please with the value of the unit--nonetheless it is grossly misrepresented..
For example, 0xb34e() has an infinite loop following a series of function calls suggesting that it is the main loop when the DSO is running. However, I can't figure out how to walk back up the call tree from there.
I'm certainly impressed by Ghidra. I had not known of it before, so it's been a very valuable education. I can see lots of uses for it, but I think I need to start by analyzing a less complex program.
As Morpheus would say: Welcome to the real world.

I have found the UI will get sluggish in "Normal" trigger mode in the absence of, or with a maladjusted trigger--switching to "Auto" mode frees it all up.
Check out the "Save Wave"/"View Waveform" functions. When viewing a saved wave ("wave", not "pic") you can alter gain and time base, and scroll up/down/sideways, to view the entire capture. Measured parameters, cursors anf the FFT function (such as it is) work as well. I wish my Lecroy allowed that.
Here're my results, a couple others checked it as well:
Fed in a sinewave with 1Vrms, starting at 1Mhz. Got -3dB (0.707Vrms) at appx 37 Mhz.
Interesting :
Where at frequencies about 10Mhz or more the waveform looks stable, at 1Mhz it´s somekind of "restless" .

Mine tracks and synchs well from the 10 kHz reference I started with, out to the 34 MHz -3dB point I found... But, that's the sort on inconsistency we have all come to expect in this stuff. If they used top notch quality components they could of course not afford the sell it for $165 delivered here in the U.S.
All in all I find I am enjoying it. Did I mention it's as cute as a bug's ear?

The real world is a rather large place. No one lives long enough to visit all of it.
It would be very interesting to know the origins of this. The obvious presence in the FW of features not supported by the HW suggests someone developed a base design and FW to sell to manufacturers who in turn set the price point by leaving out HW.
The lack of a variable gain amplifier to provide mV ranges is more of a barrier to my getting one than the 30 MHz BW.
Have Fun!

The trigger jitter at 1 MHz may be caused by failing to interpolate the trigger point and retime the sampling Easily fixable once we have control of the FW it's running.

Maybe management said "We want a 1GSample/100Mhz 'scope!" and engineering did the best they could.
The would certainly explain the discrepancy between the ADC sample rate and the analog bandwidth - they were aiming higher when they chose the ADC but it didn't work out in production.

In the west we call those people "managers and salesmen".
There's laws that make it make it difficult to sell products with definite numbers on them though so they mostly stick to homeopathic, gluten-free hairloss remedies that help you sleep and tighten up your abs while you use them. ie. Nothing that can be disproved in a court of law.
(either that or investment-grade "collectables" on the shopping channel that can only go up in value in the future...)
Edit: And then there's the Batteroo brothers.
It would be nice if the software of this device was open sourced. Then one could actually make something useful out of it
Some further impressions...
Took the screenshot function, works perfect.
Data transmission to pc was really simple - Connect it to the pc, voilá.
Interesting : You should better disconnect your source from the channels when connect it to the pc, otherwise the waveforms changed to a negative DC voltage on the screen - Isolation problem I guess.
But after playing a bit around:

The datasheet of Keysight MSOX3104T states rise time as 0.35/BW *except* for the 1 GHz model. For that it's 0.45/BW.
That's a $20K MSRP scope.

Yeah, that's the one.
At least FNIRSI is giving you

Has anybody measured the bandwidth in 1x mode?
Didn't read the entire thread did you?
Wait a minute...
That measurement was with "alligator clips". I was interested in the bandwidth with the 1x probes. The 1x probes will have some capacitance that will lower the bandwidth.
If we have to use crocodile clips to get the most from this thing then there should be a way to get better results by adding a small amount of capacitance and limiting the bandwidth to something the system can handle.
(ie. not exploding into a mess of aliasing when you go over 50MHz).
Hi,
Done the meausure with the probe switching to 1x.
BW decreases to 17.8Mhz

Have you used it with your Siglent board?
