--- Quote from: tautech on September 16, 2022, 10:39:15 pm ---However I quite agree for those entering the industry/hobby a 4ch DSO offers better choices to grow into as skills develop but no way would we push a mandatory requirement for 4 channels onto anyone although the range of choices available in just the last 10 years is phenomenal. --- End quote --- Just as an aside, I think it would be interesting to do a video on the development of DSO's and the major ones that "changed the game" over the last say 30 years. |

It would be a good path down memory lane and shine a light on how certain features became standard, who pioneered them and what features went away. Edit: 4 versus 2 channels depends on what you need. There is no golden rule except for: if you have the money, get as many channels as possible. |

You would have to differentiate between bench and handheld here I think. |

--- Quote from: thm_w on September 16, 2022, 09:51:12 pm ---Decoding i2c buses can be done easily on a $8 logic analyzer. --- End quote --- But not in real time. With one of those you have to be constantly hitting "record" then "stop", then go looking for the data. It's a complete pain in the ass. On a 'scope I can set up a trigger and watch the data protocol in real time without touching a single thing. --- Quote from: thm_w on September 16, 2022, 09:51:12 pm ---so that is not a redeeming ability IMO. --- End quote --- Yes it is. |

A recurring theme on EEVBLOG is why aren't those Owons/Hantek bench 'scopes worth buying? They look just like Rigols/Siglents in adverts. Why is Rigol the starting point for "an oscilloscope actually worth owning"? |
