| Is the RiGOL DS1054Z still Dave's choice for under $500? |

Then we need also consider what constitutes a satisfactory spec for a beginners 4ch DSO, 4channels and bugger all else or a specific feature set to grow into ? Experienced users might decide on only just the basics as they know exactly what they need. BW, what BW is sufficient for a beginner to work with for true and accurate reproduction of waveforms ? At one time it was 10, then 20, then 30, then 50 however in the time we've been doing this 100 MHz has been our bottom limit knowing a better instrument can serve you for longer. Feature set. How much is too much or the more the merrier ? What does the scope novice need and expect ? |

Or more precisely, they wrote Micsig is good but can´t compete to rigol and siglent scopes. And they are micsig distributor.. |

Don't forget you can Bode plot on the Siglent. Sooner or later, one *has* to do some basic FRA. It has even be hacked so to allow Bode plotting with cheap non-Siglent AWGs. Like, the fy6900-6600 for sure. OTOH, the1104x-e is damn loud (no idea about 1054Z or Instek loudness). |

I don't know if my original 1054Z is still the current hardware and suitable for a modern shootout? --- End quote --- Don't forget to include GW Instek 1054B and MicSig TO1000 in such a shootout. --- End quote --- The Micsig is not a comparative bench scope. --- End quote --- Ofcourse it is. Don't get fooled by the form factor; it is a full fledged bench oscilloscope. It has all the right features to make it a true bench oscilloscope. Rock solid firmware as well. It is not a 'typical' handheld/portable DSO-ish device that can only show some wiggly lines. You'd be wrong to leave the MicSig TO1000 (or one of the recent incarnations with knobs) out in a US $500 price bracket shootout. |
