Please recommend for hardware/firmware MCU development 4 channels, 600 to 1400 USD Prefer 10 inches screen Firmware stable, minor bugs 1GSa/s 50MHz, 8 to 12 bits or higher Decode UART, SPI, I2C UL/IEC safety EMC approval Optional SA channels and signal generator SIGLENT SDS1000X HD, Rigol or similar |

Since you're at the price point, you should compare the SDS1000X HD to the SDS2000X Plus and see whether you prefer the 12 bits, or the other more powerful features on the Plus. The SDS2000X Plus is the more mature scope of the two, so you're much less likely to experience any bugs. Siglent is generally good about fixing that stuff anyway tho. |

IMO, this alone at your budget would push me to SDS2104X Plus...... |

Many thanks. I have been using old tools for decades. They served the work purpose. Now, wanting a new digital scope to help firmware debug and verify SPI/I2C analogue signal quality at 10MHz square wave. These 4-ch scope decodes SPI full duplex traffic by hooking on MISO, MOSI, CLOCK ad nChipSelect, right? I can pay the high price point if necessary. If the low side can do those specific task, it is ok too. How about SDS1104X-E (Amazon Choice, first available Nov 2017) and SDS804X HD (first available April 2024)? Would year 2017 safer bet that 6 months (teething) baby? This forum has 40 pages on software issue on another brand 8xx/9xx. Need to avoid that. |

While we can set up for stable triggering the trigger suite in modern scopes take this to a new level where we can configure to find Runt pulses or outta spec pulses to name just 2. --- Quote ---Now, wanting a new digital scope to help firmware debug and verify SPI/I2C analogue signal quality at 10MHz square wave.

Some little history if I may of the latest models, the GUI has been developed over some years along with the touch interface and mouse support starting IIRC in SDS5000X models when we only had the more basic features of the 1000X, 2000X and X-E models. Whereas today the same GUI is used from 800 X HD all the way to the $ 7000A models albeit the top of the line models offer more features and much higher BW. This allows us to sample the GUI with a $340 DSO before investing further...... |
