REVIEW - Rigol DS2072 - First Impressions of the DS2000 series from Rigol

<< < (387/566) > >>

NikWing:
finally got mine today :D
and I also got the 10:1 probes ... (I don't really like them though)

hmm, odd ... I have some troubles measuring simple 5 mV and such
the DSO feels kinda sluggish/slow with a timebase of 20 ms ...
I didn't have problems like that with the DSOs I used before :o
also, trying to measure 5 mV (@2mV/div, for example) is not easy, I see a very fat curve lol

the next "problem" I see is, everytime I switch it on my previous settings are gone (and I set it to "last", not "default" state)

EV:
Here you have it! I hope it is what you wanted.

Thanks, EV. 

A couple requests.  Could you zoom in on just one packet, so the contents of the ArbID and DLC fields can be seen?  Also, I'd be interested in checking out the Event Table view, to see what it says in the Error field about the lack of an Ack (no other CAN controller on the bus, I assume).

Did you order more then 1x DS2072?
10% Discount on a single scope + 2x RP3300 probes for free... great!!!
At which Distributor did you order? I'm also looking for a good priced DS2000(A)




--- Quote from: WVL_KsZeN on December 19, 2013, 10:07:27 am ---I also got two RP3300A with my scope (DS2072 with hw1.0, but only 4 weeks old), while two RP3300 were advertised. Now I really wanted some 1x probes aswell, so I complained a bit (a lot) and finally got 2 extra RP3300 sent home for free. I didnt have to send my RP3300A back. Where I bought my scope, they're asking 45 euro's for a single RP3300 probe! Don't think they made any money from me, I got a 10% discount on my scope (765 euro) and two extra RP3300 (90 euro), so I only paid +- 675 euro for my scope.

Now, since I've got both, I can also compare them! :-)

The RP3300A have a much better feel than the RP3300. Build is better and they're also better isolated. With the RP3300 I get some glitches in the signals when I hold them in my hands the wrong way (finger close to the 1x/10x switch, probably picking up 50Hz in that case). The RP3300A are also a little bit smaller and thinner than the RP3300. The RP3300 have this yellow cap, to 'shield' the ground when probing on a PCB, but it falls off way too easily (for both probes, do others have this aswell?). I don't have a high frequency generator, so can't compare the bandwidth. Strangely, on some pages on the Rigol homepage, the A are rated at 350MHz, while on others they are rated at 300MHz.

If I'd have to chose between the RP3300 and RP3300A, then I'd go for the A! I'm not going to use the RP3300 in 10x mode, the RP3300A feel much better quality and is better isolated, so the RP3300 will be only used for low bandwidth 1x probing.

Btw, I doubt that either the RP3300 or the RP3300A are very good at 300MHz, but maybe someone already tested the bandwidth.

Oops. Been using this since I got my 2072A. Didn't realise it was missing from earlier versions or I would have said something.

Yes, that's it exactly.  Thanks a lot!

Looks very usable.  Personal preference though would be NOT to try and cram in as much of a "Data:" label as possible for each byte in the stream.  That just makes it harder to see the content.  IMO.

ADDED:  BTW, I was not aware that the Event Table could be constrained NOT to take over the screen and overlay the Bus display.  That's quite nice.

And what's that 2nd tab on the Event table, labeled Details?  If that's been there already, I failed to notice it before now.
