I have a SDS2104X+ at home, and a Tektronix MSO24 at work. I like the Siglent a lot more; I think the software is just better. However, the Siglent does not have a traceable calibration, an easy way to clear the memory, or a battery pack. Also, Siglent is Chinese, and that would not fly at work. |

I hope nobody is looking at the back of the Tektronix then. Likely it says 'made in China'. |

--- Quote from: BillyO on November 04, 2022, 07:53:42 pm ---Some folk around here have the idea that in general it is not like the B-brands are equivalent to the A-brands in any way. I have to agree. The "A" brands can't hold a candle to the "B" brands dollar for dollar. Quite frankly it's embarrassing that Keysight even offer that DSOX2014A at all. It can barely compare with a $500 scope from the "B" brands. But it has "Keysight" written on it. That alone has to be worth #2500, right? --- End quote --- It´s not that easy imho. First of all I don´t like the A and B thing. Better we should call it "O"(ld) brand and "N"(ew) brand... ;) Or C(heap) brand and E(xpensive) brand. Or...or....or... See, it´s not that easy to difference. Classified in A and B, e.g. I wouldn´t call siglent or rigol as B-brands today. Both got high quality products which aren´t cheap anymore, siglent working together with lecroy and rigol developing their own chipsets.. But both didn´t forget their "roots" and still offering cheap scopes for example. So what they are, A, B, or AB... And what are Hantek, Owon, Fnirsi...D,E, F Brands ? ;) Back to your example with the keysight. Yes, for it´s price you can get a scope from e.g. siglent which blast the mentioned keysight out of space in nearly every case. Except in one, two, three.. Warranty (5yrs), reputation, support... Last is a killer point for professionals. In this case, the "old" brands blast the new ones away. 24h support, I got a question and a useful quickly response will follow, answered by skilled engineers. Or spareparts...Knob is lost ? no problem, here you have a new one. This kind of support costs money, in relation lots of money... If siglent/rigol would offer this too, that would have a huge effect on their prices. And on their portfolio - they couldn´t offer really cheap products anymore. Or they have to buy it from other, Hantek, Owon for example.. 8) |
