| buy a better oscilloscope than the Siglent SDS1104X-E |

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 |

Hi uargo, --- Quote --- * 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) --- End quote --- 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. |

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. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds1000x-hd-coming/ |

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