Decent Oscilloscope with VGA/HDMI out?

[kenw232]

Can anyone recommend a decent scope with VGA or HDMI out so I can see whats happening on a large monitor?  I don't see many with it.  Something like the RIGOL DS1054Z but with VGA out.

I'd Like to know this as well actually

[rx8pilot]

Tek TDS700 series has VGA.

[Loboscope]

The GDS-2000A Series from GW-Instek has a SVGA-module as option.

The Rigol DS/MSO4000 series scopes have a VGA output built in.  Unfortunately, the cost is at a minimum of five times higher than a DS1054Z.

Agilent have vga options

Hameg also come with DVI-D out. (not the low end 1000 model)

The Tek DPO/MSO2000 have a VGA option.  The DPO/MSO/MDO3000 and above scopes have VGA out as standard equipment.

Old infiniium's have; use one with a touch enabled 19" monitor and it works really well!

There are many scopes with VGA or even DVI out, but nothing really in the price bracket of the DS1054z.

New entry level scopes with monitor output include the Keysight DSOX2000 Series (VGA via optional adapter), LeCroy WaveSurfer 30000 (built-in VGA) or Rohde & Schwarz Hameg HMO3000 (optional DVI-D), which are the cheapest models from the individual manufacturer with at least an optional monitor out capability. HDMI and DisplayPort can usually only be found on mid-range and high end scopes.

You could consider a second hand scope, though. There are various scopes which have VGA out, like the LeCroy LC or WaveRunner LT Series (both very advanced scopes and often not much more expensive than a DS1104z).

Also the Hameg/Rohde Schwarz "Compact" (722-2024) series features DVI-D per default.

Have you considered connecting a DS1054Z to a PC on the monitor and running UltraScope? It works reasonably well (and even allows you to control a lot of stuff straight from the screen).

Forgot to mention that Owon scopes have VGA output. For the older 2ch SDS series it was optional (but cheap), for the newer 4ch Touchscreen TDS series it seems to be the default.
Then again, I had an SDS and it was a very, very basic scope with questionable support (only some firmware updates with minimum changes, then my HW model was excluded from updates).
It seems the (GUI) improvement on the TDS series are very small (only basic triggers, no protocol decoding etc., crappy remote SW) I guess the Rigol 1000Z is still in a different league.

I tried UltraScope and it was painfully slow, never did any troubleshooting to find out why.

Agilent 5/6/7000 have SVGA out

[LinuxHata]

Let me bump up this thread.
I'm also looking for any normal oscilloscope - 2 channels, 100mhz, nothing fancy, but it should have either VGA or HDMI output, to be connected to projector, for educational purposes.

This is the #1 feature lacking from Siglent mid-range scopes. Rigol MSO5000 has it. It's not something I've seen on any low-end scopes.

Would driving the scope using the web interface work for your needs?

Models from Micsig also have HDMI out

[skander36]

HDMI - Rigol HDO 1K, 5K, Micsig.

[LinuxHata]

No I don't need any online kind of connectivity.
One solution which I have used in past, but which requires a lot of yada-yada is to buy specialized LVDS 2 HDMI converter, which connects between the screen and the host, captures the LVDS data and sends it over HDMI.

I'll check these offerings, thanks.

If your goal is a large monitor, you can also use the Siglent stuff with built in web servers. I use my SDS2504XP on 27" to 32" monitors. Even the SDS1104X-E has a great built-in web server.

Micsig:



They're also touch screen so  very easy to use and you can remote control them from a phone (see video).

They can also access Youtube directly, display PDFs, record&replay videos directly from the display... do all sorts of things that are useful in a classroom.

This request is from 8 years ago.
It was bumped now by the user LinuxHata, that express rejection of online solutions.

In regards to batteryprojector & scope.
You can control the Micsigscope interface on the projectored screen. with just a cheap 5 dollar air mouse from China
Here with Micsigs own Android app, fx grapped from Google Playstore on the projectors own android interface.


With HDMI cable from scope's HDMI to batteryprojectors HDMI socket...


Connected to a 55" LG 2017OLED (HDMI cable)

And wireless to your PC or Android tablet with the Micsig Windows/Android/iOS app, the lag aint bad, I got around +/-250ms with a decade old NetgearWNDR4300 in another room and update rate, very decent as you can see here..

or it can be used with cheap secondary touchsscreen with the HDMI, though the touch aint supported on HDMI cable, so a mouse is prefered if you wanna manouvere scope settings on the extra screeen and you dont have the scope close by, but its all mouse optimised.
Also tried to run the secondary 15.6 screen, by powering it from the Micsig's scopes 5v USB port, but the Micsig 5V USB-A 2.0 port, got a problem in delivering high enough current to max out the brightness on the secondary screen, above 1A if I recall were problematic., so couldnt run the extra screens brightness higher then example below, otherwise the scopes USB_port would choke, I could ofcourse just use a powerbank to power the secondary screen, though more proof of concept if one wanted to run both HDMI vid signal and power from the scope.
Dont know if the newer Micsig scopes can supply 5V/1.5A power on their USB socket, or if their TypeC port support touch out, I doubt it... not many Android SoC does support it.
- with HDMI' it doesnt align to your secondary screens aspect ratio, it will only port your scopes screens aspect ratio like below.

The Micsig does have an internal Android screen casting feature, in its Android legacy OS, but I cant get it to connect to anything.. its an legacy heavily locked down Android ROM the scope is running, also dont allov for sideloading Android apk's.
But for the pricerange, it does give quite a few ablelities to cast your screen, either with HDMI, or with Micsigs wireless Windows/Android/iOS app and since the UI is so touch-optimised the update rate is good, its not that big a pain to control it from another device.

Wait for the Rigol DHO800 models to become available?
