Scope bandwidth is better, up to 30 MHz. --- End quote --- So, if I stimulate the circuit with an external WG, the AD2 will bodeplot its response? Thanks. --- End quote --- No, Bode plot and impedance analysis works by controlling generator and scope in synchronization. AD2 has internal AWG and uses that one...No support for external AWG. --- End quote --- I still don't understand why the integrated WG and NA can get to 25 MHz (not bad!) but they advertise the WG to be capable of just 10 MHz... |

Folks, I'm very appreciative with all of you that took time to answer my questions (admittedly ill-posed). Even more useful is the discussion among more informed contributors, regardless of my questions. I think this thread could be an useful resource for those who'll want to pick up a first scope with limited budged, and it's also (afaik) the first thread on eevblog that discusses the capabilities of the AD2 by providing examples and underlining little but important things that are overlooked in the reviews. |

balnazzar, few months ago "The Signal Path" did review the ADP3450 from Digilent. It's 4 channel and more advance instrument, but software is the same. I suggest you watch the video, you may want to start at minute 13:00. |

I got higher end equipment myself but this combo seems excellent for the beginner, for teaching and really for most. We can do almost everything up to RF work at HAM level. Lots of talk about the intuitiveness of instruments in this thread but what about the complete solution? Get those two, connect with the supplied USB cable and DONE. Start focusing on the actual electronics you want to do instead of the instruments. I don't really get the budget constraints. The MSO5074 appears to be €799 at eleshop.eu. The SDS1104X-E is €429 and SDG1032X is €289 total €718 so why would it be out of budget? Down the road you will be buying new toys. Do not think what you buy today, no matter the budget, will be the last thing you buy or upgrade :-). But in reality this is a very strong offer that many will never outgrow. |
