buy a better oscilloscope than the Siglent SDS1104X-E
(1/19) > >>
uargo:
Hello, good afternoon. I wanted to ask you a question/query.
If you already had an oscilloscope (SIGLENT SDS1104X-E) and you were thinking of buying a better oscilloscope, one step further, which oscilloscope would you choose.

Stuff I already have:
* Riden RD6006P power supply
* Chinese linear power supply 30V 5A
* Siglent SDM3045X Multimeter
* UNI-T UT71E Multimeter
* Siglent SDG1032X signal generator
* Siglent SDS1104X-E Oscilloscope

Oscilloscope options I'm considering:
  * Siglent SDS2104X PLUS (8 bit, touch screen, 2GSa/s, 4 channels, hackable)
  * Rigol MSO5074 (8 bit, touch screen, 8GSa/s, 4 channels, hackable)
  * Rigol HDO1104 (12 bits, touch screen, 2GSa/s, 4 channels, hackable)

Suggestions of other oscilloscopes are accepted but for no more than €1,500, preferably touch screen, 4 channels, minimum 2gsa/s, if it has 10 or 12 bits better, and that can be hacked at 200Mhz or more

Thanks in advance

Exactly in this order... ;)

In total, the siglent would be the "best" of the three, by the way it has a 10bit mode (with limited bandwidth 100Mhz).
The good old MSO5074 certainly has its charm and is over-featured, but has a slightly smaller screen, is still not bug-free and is not exactly low-noise.
The HDO has (in my opinion) currently only one advantage and that is the 12Bit resolution.
Otherwise, it is not yet mature, some features are missing.
I myself owned the siglent and the rigol MSO and had a HDO4024 on loan at the beginning of this year.

Considering you already have SDG1032X and if you use the SDS1104X-E Bode plot feature another Siglent DSO might be a sound decision for their plug and play capability.

SDS2104X Plus is on worldwide promotion with a free BW upgrade to the 200 MHz model, SDS2204X Plus.
I have tested both those models to ~185 and 300 MHz BW.

If not in a hurry, the soon to be released 12 bit SDS1000X HD also might be of interest however it only offers 1 GSa/s.

The MSO5074 has the problem of very exaggerated background noise.
The SDS2104X plus has 10bit mode, but does it really work well?

I didn't know anything about the SDS1000X HD, do you know the features, price and date?
