Best Brand Name for an Oscilloscope?

TBH your guess of SDS2204X Plus could conceivably be miles out unless you do your homework on the BW of each model in this series.

The BW of the 200 series are 100MHz, 200MHz and 350MHz (and sometimes 500MHz)
So, calcs ..
Tr=~ 0.425/BW
100MHz: Tr =~ 0.425/100MHz = 4.24ns
200MHz: Tr =~ 0.425/200MHz = 2.12ns
350MHz: Tr =~ 0.425/350MHz = 1.21ns
Your screen shot showed 2ns so 200MHz is the closest.
I didn't notice the filename so now I'll say I'm 95% sure it's and SDS2204XP.

It is but......

SDS2104X Plus has a -3dB BW of ~185 MHz and is the reason it's supplied with 200 MHz rated probes.
Based on that you might trim your calcs to better fit with a 30ps pulser. ;)
Yeah, I set you up. :P
BillyO:
Well, I didn't know that about the SDS2104XP even though I have one. Nice scope!
I actually "improved" it within minutes of getting it out of the box so never tested in it's NIB mode.
There is actually a story about my "improvement journey" which I will relate to the forum when I verify some things. As it is right now I'm seeing about 700MHz BW using a frequency sweep, but this is one of the things I need to verify. More on all this later in a different thread.
Anyway, our little banter here verified my assertion that a transient response can get us very close. Can you do a frequency sweep on that scope to see how close we came? It might even be a tad better than the 185MHz.

That is the problem: in the end you can't determine the exact bandwidth using a pulser because you don't know what the roll-off 'factor' of the front end is.

IIRC SDS2504X Plus BW is nearly 600 MHz and it's reported somewhere in the 2kX Plus thread.
First SDS2104X Plus we got hands on is what I tested and as reported in the link to post above and I flat out didn't believe it was ~185 MHz but tested with 3 yes 3 sinewave sources confirmed it was. :o
I'd never seen the likes of rated BW exceeded by 85% in any instrument.
Missing my now sold SSG3021X already. :(
