Hi, --- Quote ---It's nice, that you can offer a 4 channel scope with so many features for such little money. --- End quote --- Is that really ´such little money´? A similar equipped Keysight with 200MHz and bus decoders -still with not as many features and functionality as the Siglent SDS1204X-E- costs >2k€ ... almost 3 times as much. From the pictures it is a GWInstek OEM ... hence also of chinese origin. Honest question ... in what regard is the Keysight better or offers more to close the financial gap? regards Calvin |

With my apologies to Daniel and Keysight , I personally wouldn't recommend any of their scopes less than 3000 series. 3000 series is amazingly fast, both in user responsiveness and in retrigger time and is pleasure to use. It also has very short memory, and as such is not good for lots of decoding, or looking at long captures. But as interactive scope is the best. On the other hand, what is pretty much a single flaw with 3000T (short sample memory) is many times worse with 1000X and 2000 series, and also waveform capture rate is much slower on 1000x/2000 (which was one of good things with 3000). So you get worst of the both worlds. If you are looking at 1000X series class, from A manufacturer you have RTB2000 that will give you 20x the scope in every regard,but for more money, or you can look at the GW Instek MSO/MDO/GDS-2000E that are fantastic scopes, and also Siglent 1000X-E or even Rigol MSO5000 series (still really new, but will be stable in coming months) for much less money and much better capabilities. P.S.: I own a fully optioned 3000T and love it for what it is. But also own a Picoscope 3406D MSO, because it has 512MS sample memory. I use that one for decoding if I need to decode something seriously. If I had to have only one scope, and wanted to decode , I would choose one with long memory. There is no replacement for that and bandwidth. |

If i had to have only one scope and wanted to devoce i would choose one that has the required protocol and can trigger on errors, then memory, then bandwidth. But besides that, ditto everything except the rigol 5000. The more i see of it the more i see them repeating the same old errors again and again. |

I tend to agree that 1Mpt memory is just not enough these days for a new scope in this price range. Who's the target customer here, Tek TDS3000 users that are desperate for anything over 10kpt? What's the reasoning on releasing a new product line with such low memory? Is it just to not cannibalize the sales of higher end products? I can't see it's actually a parts cost issue for the memory chips. Trying to squeeze the last bit of life from an old custom ASIC? (that was a lot of question marks....) |
