Test Equipment / Re: Choosing between entry-level 12-bit DSOs
« Last post by Antonio90 on Today at 03:57:22 pm »Your scope will not be "certified" whatever that means when out of cal either, and I bet most, if not all of your equipment is not calibrated regularly.
Certainly mine isn't, and I intend that to stay that way.
I couldn't care less about 500MHz signals right now, which doesn't mean being able to visualize that signal is completely useless for everybody. Very few people buy either of the scopes discussed in this thread for certification and measurements in which legal liability is involved, and nobody without periodic calibration.
Let's keep the discussion where it belongs. I do agree that the SDS800X-HD is a better oscilloscope overall. I can also see why, for basic use, the DHO800 can be more than enough and in that case in particular it might be a better purchase due to some usability and convenience advantages.
That being said, I just got my SDS800X-HD. I'm thinking of buying a DHO800 just to compare them thoroughly, but it's a bit of an expensive thought.
