We inform to help with the best decision for current needs and future use but in the end it is not our money to spend. --- End quote --- I was making reference to the sds1104x-e, which has almost exactly the same price of the Instek 1054B. I understand that the 2000+ is a much better machine, but it costs a fortune (relatively to typical hobbist/student wallets). Lowering the prince to 1 grand, even without the free perks & options of the MSO5000, would make you sell a lot more of them... |

Best you spend a good deal more time studying datasheets and manuals to discover the real capabilities and feature set of each model. Do I need link you the datasheets or can you find them ? |

A few things that one doesn't find on the datasheets, if you had occasion to test the Instek: sluggishness of the OS (or lack thereof) and quality of the UI. |

Answer is 1 as they don't make a 4ch 200 MHz 1000 series whereas the SDS1104X-E is a 200 MHz design using two 1 GSa/a ADC's so to maintain sufficient sampling rate with all channels active at max frequency to ensure it meets Nyquist. Do we need investigate feature sets next or can I leave that with you ? |

It also has separate channel controls and a proper button for menu selections, no error-prone pushing of a twisty knob. It's a very nice little 'scope, I don't believe the bandwidth can be hacked very high though. |
