Hi, Just found your blog and I love your enthusiasm and sense of humour. Just had a read of the Rigol review and wondered if you had considered reviewing the latest Bitscope BS325 Unit http://www.bitscope.com/product/BS325/. I'm still trying to decide about buying the Bitscope and would value your opinion even if you decided againt a full Blog Review. Another idea is a review of Kicad, a free GPL pcb design programme which I use for my own designs http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page . Hope you find my suggestions interesting. Thanks, David. London,UK |

The showstopper with the Bitscope is the sample rate, it's only 40MS/s, that gives an effective single shot bandwidth of only 4MHz. They haven't really updated the design much in over a decade, so IMO it's no longer competitive. It's optoisolated which is nice for PC scope, and it does waveform generation and logic too. But US$700 for a 40MS/s 2 channel 8 bit mixed signal scope is way overpriced IMO. On a side note, I can remember way back when Bitscope asked me to write their PC software for the them. Wow, that was a long time ago... Sorry, I can't review any CAD software for conflict of interest reasons. Dave. |
