REVIEW - Rigol DS2072 - First Impressions of the DS2000 series from Rigol
olsenn:
Rigol is coming out with a DS1000Z series DSO now as well, which I imagine is replacing the DS1000E series. It has 4 channels (which is awesome), 70/100MHz and 30k waveforms/sec, and 12/24M memory points

Hello group,
I just received my DS2072 yesterday and I am very pleased so far. Since I am currently working on a project involving a shared SPI bus (ADC + TFT screen driven by an Arduino), I have tried the SPI triggering capabilities plus the decoding function, which are very useful, in addition to look very nice. In any case it works quite well.
I was hesitating between this model and a Hameg HMO 1xxx or 2xxx (I have been using Hameg for many years, my old 203-5 is still working well, moreover there is a special offer running up to October 2013, giving the decode option for free when buying a new scope), and I finally went for the Rigol, helped in my choice by the videos (EEV among others) and all the helpful comments on this forums, so thxs guys :)
If I had to find a flaw, I would say the fan is too noisy for my taste, I will probably have a look inside later to check if I can make things quieter. Except this, it is a very nice device that I am discovering with pleasure, I only wish the trial options time were not decreasing so fast :/
Returning to the scope now, I think I am getting addicted! ++
Hydrawerk:
Well, It's quite feature rich.

Welcome Jean! Yes, it's a fun DSO to play with - especially the segment record and record open (history) feature. :) I don't mind the fan because my lab has other fans making more noise than the Rigol - but if you plan to open it to change (or alter) the fan, be sure to watch .
Also, be sure to download my software for the DS2000 here.
And don't worry about the trial options - we owners have figured out a simple method to reset them - just send me or another regular user here a PM when your time is close to ending ;)

Hi Marmad, thanks for your wishes, the links and the useful tips :)
I will not open it right now, since it's brand new, but I admit it's tempting : I use it in a very quiet room, the computer near is almost completely silent (big fans with very low rpm), the only sound I barely hear is the 50Hz through the PC speakers! so it makes a big difference when the Rigol is turned on, even if it isn't actually that loud. After all, "loud" is subjective and I have heard here and there people saying the 2072 is much more quiet than the 1052/1102 are, so it is also a matter of perception.
For now, next step is connecting the scope to the computer, and installing the suitable software, including yours; a lot of pleasant time in perspective!
