The AD2 also has the 'no zoom out' issue, exactly as the Siglents and many other scopes. --- End quote --- Just capture few periods in the main scope window and use "Zoom" option. --- End quote --- Good trick :) Thanks! (I assume you wanted to say 'more periods'..?) --- End quote --- ...yes, you're correct I meant "more periods". It happen often... I write, send and read after the fact :palm: I'm sorry for my bad habits, I'm multitasking too much and :popcorn: |

Damn, only now I noticed that the AD2 had a 30% student discount, at least in the US... : :wtf: Does someone know if that's valid for EU too?? I can't find anything about that upon their website... ??? |

I'm fooling around with it, so far i like it :) I think I just need a flat cable to connect the BNC adapter to the AD2, otherwise the connector won't last long (hoping that the cable won't add too much crosstalk..). One thing I don't like is indeed the fragility of the stuff :wtf:. I don't know how they could use them in university labs and not having them broken the first day by the students. I should get the get the little Siglent today, will keep you posted. --- End quote --- balnazzar, FYI Probably you will be not able to compensate the Siglent probes with the "Digilent BNC" because the AD2 has relatively high input capacitance (~25pF). You will need probes with compensation range 17pf< and >30pF. I bought "Sumnacon 2 Pack P6100 100 MHz 600V" from Amazon for $12.99, they will compensate 10 - 35pF. --- End quote --- Thanks man, you taught me something useful! Here is what I'll buy: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B08B7P3C53/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A90CWHFC472FI&th=1 They are 10-35pF, too. Good price, 200 MHz, and with an useful BNC-minigrabber. Only, now I'm not sure they'll get along with the (hacked) Siglent. --- End quote --- balnazzar, I suggest don't order another probes before you try these from Siglent, they may be OK. See replies #183 and #185. |

In worst case you may return it to Amazon and repurchase from another vendor (assuming that the discount applies to EU countries). |

Or make something out of wood or metal that does the same. |
