--- Quote from: nctnico on February 23, 2024, 03:28:49 pm ---IMHO the key should be that a piece of test equipment behaves consistently and what is implemented, works well. If the bandwidth is not as advertised, I don't see a really big problem (unless ofcourse the bandwidth is needed but for tinkering this typically isn't the case). Those Zeeweii scopes are cheap enough not to cause a major pain in your wallet. --- End quote --- Zeeweii is quite reputable for a cheap(-est) Chinese manufacturer. The device does not crash and works as you would expect. The firmware seems quite mature. Auto-range is very fast and it is overall pleasant to use. The specs are certainly a little on the optimistic side, but what do you expect for $80 shipped including 2 probes etc? I think it's better than Zoyi etc. It can show a 10MHz square wave reasonably well (attachment). That's enough to have a quick look at "what's going on" and that's what it's there for. --- Quote from: nctnico on February 23, 2024, 03:28:49 pm ---A couple of years ago I was stupid enough to spend 2500 euro on a Siglent scope which ended up in the trash.

Technical support doesn't even know the use case for protocol decoding and gives an utter BS answer. But also more recently Siglent gear I thought was good enough, failed miserably for basic functionality. |

It wouldn't be useless to remember what the OP wants --- Quote ---Relatively inexpensive, good for learning on but also useful for most beginner-to-intermediate level projects, so I don't need to buy another one for a few years. --- End quote --- So, neither any Zeeweii (BTW, I love my DSO154Pro, that's what i get to go under my car to see what the lambda sensor is sending to the ECU) nor any of these Hanteks (whose buyers motto seems to usually be never again) will do. Therefore, to speak about what DSO2512G can/can't do, is off-topic and misleading. There is people here that have much more knowledge than me, and OP would be wise following their advice. But there is also people that recklessly and stubbornly open their big mouth to give (I think) very bad advice. Not going to get into any arguments there; for reference, I think anybody will understand what I mean simply by looking at this post: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-2ch-pocket-dsosg-sigpeak-dso2512g/msg4887584/#msg4887584 |
