Guess the final verdict for an oscilloscope will be the Siglent SDS2104x+. Currently looking for a deal on it and amazon doesn't have anything special for it and I think I saw some people mention tequipment gives deals or something for being in this forum. I have to see if I can find the post about it They are the only ones actually fulfilling on amazon. Hopefully I can find a bundle with the logic analyzer. Personally it's not going to be needed for a few months, but will be nice to use when more of the print on chips rub off and I have no idea what does what anymore. --- Quote ---I think it is worth it, but I got the whole kit on sale. The set of grabbers alone almost made it worth it. As for using a PC logic analyzer, I'm not an expert in that area but I suspect if you do a lot of that stuff you will want both a scope-based and a PC-based logic analyzer. --- End quote --- What type of bundle were you able to find on this? Were the grabber, plugs, and scope and all in one group? Do you have some recommendations on the probes to use once *updated? I will need a little bit of time to brood over the level of DMM as I wont need that level of precision for a few years. --- Quote ---The DP832 is ok, been using it for a few years. I think the leakage current has crept up through out the years, starting to become an issue, think maybe some of the components have degraded a bit. Noise spec and load transient performance is good, though not a big fan of the 1000uF cap right at the output needed to keep it in spec. The big cap affects how quickly the power supply can switch from CV mode to CC mode. The DP832 has issues but not enough for me to look elsewhere for alternatives. I might build my own power supply if I find enough time to do it. For powering digital stuff, it works just fine. For sensitive analog stuff I fall back to batteries, though I am not sure if other power supply options are free of the issues I have mentioned. --- End quote --- :palm: I think it's going to be a challenge to find anything that doesnt have quirks around that price range.. I was interested for the timer ability to charge a few odd devices and to set different charging profiles. I guess it can be a overly expensive battery tender so i can use those on the more delicate things. I gotta admit, I love the ability to pull up information on a bigger screen. My eyes get enough of a work out squinting to read the model numbers on things to get the right data sheet. |

Saelig offer 6% for members. Hunt out their discount thread and ask for the code. SLA2016 was on special with a new scope for 2021 but no longer unless you can find some in stock that haven’t yet sold. There was a free options promo bundle last year too and if lucky you can still find one. |

Was just on the site, but was seeing a similar price to everywhere else. I'll double check to forums again for a recent post! I've seen your helpful advice all over the place! |

Bummer they arent running a deal anymore nor was able to find that discount. Sent them a message to see what they were able to do. Never ordered from Saelig, so we'll see what happens. Now I can focus on picking out the other gear mentioned.. |
