The Micsig is way faster/easier to use, I don't regret the loss of a few "checkbox" features at all.
Edit: as has been written before: in the lower end there will be comprises to be made; there is no perfect scope that does all.It would not be difficult to make such a machine.

Tell me one thing: when you connect the Micsig with the hdmi, does it still do just 800x600? Thanks.
Just be sure you've checked out the input limitations of an AD2 .....hardly anything like the 400V rated inputs on the X-E.

Instead investment in a SAG2021I for $165 will get you up and running with Bode plots immediately as no licensing is required unless you use the FG capability.

Mh, it's actually a good price. Apart from its 1.5-3V limit and slightly lower sampling rate, what are its limitations with respect, say, a SDG1000X? Thanks.
Re: The AD2.
Just to be 100% clear: The AD2 is NOT a great oscilloscope, it will never replace a bench oscilloscope.
What it IS is a general purpose electronics tool, it does all sorts of clever/useful things.
It might help to think of it as a "Swiss Army Knife" - they're not the greatest knife in the world but they have all sorts of other tools like screwdrivers and scissors and saws.

Edit: It looks like they forgot the curve tracer...What is actual performance of it performing stability analysis on a switcher PSU? Dynamic range and complete amplitude range? How well it performs in presence of noise?
I searched and found no real performance figures in real world scenarios ..what is real performance of AD2?
That's completely the wrong way to think about the AD2.I know it has Bode plot functionality but despite it's nominal 14bit resolution, it has only 2 measurement ranges.
Yep. 5V and 20V ranges.
If you're doing Bode Plots at 100mV (or above) then it'll work just fine.
(maybe even at 50mV).
Plenty people are recommending AD2 but there is no real performance verification anywhere to be found.
I have an Analog Discovery an Analog Discovery 2 and a Digital Discovery. If 2N3055 or someone else wants to have something tested I try it if my place (20 cm * 40 cm) is enough.
Hello,
the SDS1104X-E has only a Display Resolution of 800×480.
But I think it is a great scope.
The Analog Discovery and Analog Discovery 2 are small laboratories much more than a scope. They are practical in combination with breadboards. I am biased and I like them, but in the meantime they have become very expensive. Maybe you'll get them academically.

Thanks, man.
Could you please check the limits of the Network Analyzer? Does it really gets to 10 MHz and not more (or less)?
Also, can you confirm that the software is complete, functional, and overall better than the sw that comes generally with bench scopes?
Limit will be 10 MHz because that is the limit of internal waveform generator. Scope bandwidth is better, up to 30 MHz.

egonottoThank you, you are very kind.
In the light of these discussions, I would like to know how well it would fare doing classic stability analysys, on a simple opamp circuit or a simple PSU. Siglent has A.N. : https://www.siglenteu.com/application-note/power-supply-loop-response-bodeii/ where simple PSU is measured. Something like that.

So, if I stimulate the circuit with an external WG, the AD2 will bodeplot its response? Thanks.
You don't own AD2...
Ummm....
