I am a 3rd year engineering student studying robotics, looking to use this to test control circuits up to 10Mhz but as a student I have a limited budget. I have read poor reviews of the Hantek oscilloscopes and am curious to how the fg compares to a Siglent unit.

Many thanks from Canada

I have both the Hantek and the SDG1025. There is no doubt that the firmware in the Hantek as it stands currently makes it little more than a toy I'm afraid. It's buggy to say the least and it crashes frequently. The SDG1025 has much more mature software. The main thing I don't like about the Siglent is that reading the display at an angle (say it's on the shelf above the bench) isn't great, I had to do a bit of a re-org on the bench around the Siglent so it could be positioned to be readable. The UI on the Siglent also takes a short while to get to grips with, knowing where things are. But it doesn't crash, and I don't have to double check what's coming out of it when I hook it up to a circuit, unlike the Hantek.

Haven't posted much on the forum as im to busy always reading and learning :)

Allow me to give you my take, as another Chris from Canada (that's just odd!): I have the Hantek 2002B with the current firmware, and I'm pretty much looking to replace it with a SDG1025 :)
Berni:
I recently got one of these and needed to calibrate it. Was way too time consuming but the user "fremen67" has wrote an excel VBA script to do it on a Rigol scope.

Because i don't have one of those i modified it to work with Keysight Infiniium scopes(Tested on a MSO9254A but should work on all of them). It might also work with older 5000 to 7000 series scopes. Also i fixed the script to also work in countries that use a comma as a decimal separator (SCPI commands use a dot).

So here it is in case anyone else with a HP / Agilent / Keysight scope needs it

Thank you for the feedback! It was much appreciated and I ended up buying the SDG1025   :-+ Just picked it up today and going to start playing with it. From my first impression of playing for 10 mins before getting on to studying it seems very intuitive and like a nice bit of equipment for the price point.

Thanks again!

Chris
Simon:
So are these still hakable ? the thread started over a year ago and they are still on ebay for £209, should i get one. All the other signal generators seem to be silly money or Siglents.
