The price on their website is GBP 286.80. That's about $460 in US Dollars at today's exchange rates. The price from US retailers is around $400. There are differing tax rates in those prices, and sales tax might be added to the US price, but all in all, it seems to be slightly cheaper to buy one in the US than in the UK. The prices aren't wildly different, though.
I might just go and buy a DS1054Z and sell my old 1074Z...
dave, start pronouncing 'Z' like we do, 'zee'
In the forthcoming review of the "Z", I would be interested if the optional SPI decode works and can handle the clock, MISO and MOSI sensibly since it is a 4 channel scope.
The speed of the SPI may be an issue.
dave, start pronouncing 'Z' like we do, 'zee'You haven't convinced your northern neighbo_u_rs yet.
Ok, so if the hardware on the DS1054z and the DS1074z are identical, they why would anyone buy the DS1074z for more? Because that is really not worth the extra 20MHz, plus after the upgrade/hack they are both at 100MHz.
Because educational establishments and small businesses generally do not use keygens to unlock features.
Hi all,
The price on the 54Z in Batronix it's 355.81€ with VAT and free shipping to EU, at today ratings it's £283.32 and $455.91.
If you take a close look at the PCB you'll see that the four channel inputs are not 100% exactly the same. An easy way to check is to look at the board square on and cross your eyes until two of the channels line up. Your eyes will lock on and the differences will stick out like dog's balls! ...you get a rather cool 3D effect too
@Dave at 33:33 you talk about the memory. It has 512Mbit. That is enough. It has maximum 24MS that means 24M * 16Bits that is 48MByte. If you use more than one channel you have only 12MS (2 channel), 6MS (3 channel), 6MS (4 channel). Each sample has 16 bits because it need 10 bits in some modes the 1054Z use 12bit ADC.
Edit: it is 12 bit >= 5µs/div, and only 6MS with 3 channel

If you want to order there, Perhaps I can help you to get a better price. Or if more than you want one, i will ask for a discount code (all products) for the eevblog.
I can't wait until I will have mine.
I agree, it should be Zee. Zed is dead.

No way! Stops confusion between C and Z.

No, the ADC is only 8 bit. If you're talking about High Res mode, that's just the DSO averaging sequential sample points within the same acquisition to produce added bits of vertical resolution.
Vertical: Digital Oscilloscope Rigol DS1054Z
Analog digital converter (A/D) : 12 Bit at ? 5 µs/div , 8 Bit at ? 2 µs/div
Sensitivity range (V/div): 1 mV/div to 10 V/div
Offset range: 1 mV/div to 10 V/div
Since the DSO has a maximum of 24M of sample memory - that would mean it would need, at a maximum, an additional 24/4 of memory for storing the sums - or 30M of total sample memory - or the next larger stock DRAM size, which, coincidentally, would be 32M * 16.
No, I am not talking about the High Res Mode, I was talking about the specification (batronix.com page) that I read. It says
I know, when I read a ADC of a µC, I can read it in 8 Bit fast Mode because I read only the upper Bits and sampling is faster, or I can read 12 Bit Mode, it is slower but I have 12Bit resolution. I expect the same in the DS1054Z, because of the spezification.
I was talking about it, because dave had problems with the 512Mbit RAM size in the video, he thought it was to small and was looking for more. I think he calculated 24MS * 4 Channels that make 96MBytes but he found only 512Mbit.
You just have to read the specs of the ADC used inside of the DS1000Z series. It's an 8-bit only ADC.

And how was it determined this is the ADC in use?

Pin compatible, 8/12/14-bit.
If they had used the 12 or 14 bit version the oscilloscope would sample at 12 or 14 bits all the time.
