I perfectly know this question might have been asked a gazillion times, but i searched and didn't find the updated version of it. I'd like to buy a mixed signal scope for my company(audio signals, power supply checks, some serial communication check..), what would be the modern equivalent of the HDO804 but in the mixed signal park? Hackability is a plus :-+ |

Have you sought Rigol MSO series? Example: https://int.rigol.com/products/products/oscilloscopes You have the list of all oscilloscopes there so you can compare them one to one. |

If you need this to make money, start looking at an R&S RTB2004. It costs quite a bit of money but it gives a way more efficient workflow (no silly things like decoding only what is on screen). You can probably find the RTB2004 on the used market as well for a more reasonable price. And I don't mean Ebay perse, there are reputable used equipment dealers which have good offers. |

Thank you guys. The expected usage will be 80% analog signals: - does device x clip the signal - does my audio processing mess the signal - is this power supply ok or chinesium - are there spurious tones...) and 20% checking basic logic - what's the delay between turning on device x and device x actually turning on - and then the delay between turning on and the incoming audio The most exotic stuff will be "does my processing introduce much distortion" on 16khz audio and "is there quasi-zero noise" on 16bit audio. It will sit in our R&D lab, which is 95% software programming. Occasionally I might help a friend with radio stuff in the 3-30MHz range. Nothing fancy. I might even get away with the HDO924 logic analyzer...? |
