Rigol's New DHO800 Oscilloscope unbox & teardown

[Fungus]

Is that a VESA mount I see? 

Looks too big, and would cover the vents.

Might be OK if it's X shaped.

If you take distance rollers, this should no longer be a problem.
They were even included with my holders.

Can we use the DHO1000's rgtool decode the BW option on DHO900?

It's a pity that only the DHO9xxS can do Bode plot (as far as could tell from the user manuals of the 800, 900 and 1000 series).

I would expect that at least for the 1000 series Bode plot would be available, by synchronising the scope with an external generator, like the Siglent SDS1000X-E (and others) does with the SDG1000X (and others)

Edit to fix/correct.

It seems like DHO802 has all channels soldered (and the price is close to 804). If it's true, is it possible to upgrade it to DHO914 with the keygen? (I know: DHO802 has neither generator nor logic analyser port on board.)
I can't find any pictures of new scopes with two channels soldered only.

What would be the point?

I think you'll get a lot of useless junk on screen and in the menus. The bandwidth is a bit dodgey, too, the sample rate won't be high enough to support it with all channels on so you could be seeing a lot of aliasing.

(unless it drops the bandwidth when you turn on more than 2 chanels - which would be a cool thing for it to do ... does anybody know?)

If the 800 has the full 50Mpoints of memory on the PCB then that would be worth unlocking that but I don't know if it does and I'm not sure I'd want junk in the menus just to get it.

Time will tell.

I would not rely on this, the larger models with 2 channels actually have only 2 channels installed, why should it be different with the small ones?
(MSO5072 was an exception).

Time will tell.

Exactly, let´s see what happen at the rigol shop next week.

It seems like DHO802 has all channels soldered...

The DHO802 only has 2 inputs, as seen here:

[Serg65536]

Is there a chance to use LA on DHO804? Its differential pairs and control lines are directly connected to the chip... Is anything left unpopulated except for main LA connector?

The MSO5072 had a paid upgrade option to unlock the other 2 channels. They have 4 connectors on the front, two of them have special BNC caps on them:

Yes, this is the exception..

I'll write the answer for myself
RAM for the LA is not soldered, but it's possible to trick the scope to identify as DHO914.

Just did the unboxing video, OMG this thing is so cute!
Unless it's absolutely riddled with bugs, no one will be buying any other entry level scope, Rigol will own the market.

[EEVblog]

Unboxing video is now on my website:

You sounded as excited as a kid at Christmas!

Thanks! Looks great!
But almost 1 minute time to start up could be a bit annoying.
Is this a first time thing or does it always take this long?
Is there a standby mode?

46sec. No standby, you get that every time.

46sec. No standby, you get that every time.

The splash screen may be visible for that long, but the power button turns green at 12:25 and the splash screen disappears at 13:19.
That's 54 seconds.
I can already see myself stomping my feet while staring at the Rigol logo 
Probably I will stay for the not so important measurements (95%) with my Zeeweii, which is ready in 4 seconds.

And I can see you occupying at least half that time attaching the correct probing solution to the DUT.

A manufacturer launches a 12-bit, 4-channel, portable, ground isolated oscilloscope for pocket money (did I mention it's 12-bit?) and we're nit picking it on it taking 45 seconds longer to be ready (only for quick 'n dirty measurements, mind) than an 80's Tektronix?? 

I must have missed a memo.
