New Rigol DS7000
<< < (46/72) > >>
fact:
I looked at the options and decided that going for a MSO7014 would allow for a sensible investment with an interesting upgrade path. My scope now has all options enabled and a measured bandwidth of 800+ MHz. My budget is limited and certainly not sufficient for a scope with the specifications I have now. No idea how the responsiveness compares to the 5000 series but for me the 7000 is responsive enough.

The 7000 is one that is overlooked, with the help of certain astute members of this forum the 7000 can be turned into a really good scope for a sensible cost.

Remember 10G/s + 500M of memory makes for good debug, it now has high resolution and precision functions, plus a 10 inch screen some useful tools plus an hdmi out.

We have one of these in test lab and it works very well, we also have an 8000 which is a real serious model. We also have Siglent, HP, Tektronix kit as well.

The Rigol's hold there own in a lot of areas, as I have mentioned before no they are not upper mid point top five brand scopes, but they do a lot right and the 8000 has some decent noise figures in certain areas that are equal to or slightly better than some of well know long established brands we have entertained recently.

We now have a LeCroy wavepro to bench test so we are lookig forward to that, however the Rigol scopes and RTA are damn fine for what we require and our staff like them and some of them are used to big ticket ticket items.

I occasionally curse the 8000 boot up time around 50 seconds , but the Tek mso64  took around 5 minutes to boot up. granted it is really an R&D scope and not an everyday bench item.

The 7000 you get an awful lot for your money, though I would suggesting investing in a couple of good probes,. Rigol also manufacturer a Tek to Rigol adapter as well.

Sighound36 forgot to mention that he also possesses MSO5000 so he's one of the few people here that have tested/used them all.

As I was a little disappointed about the noisy frontend of the 5000, I was toying with the idea to change it against a 7000.
Asked the rigol.eu support, if they are differences between the 5000 and 7000 what this concerns, they´ve answered no, not at all.
Therefore, I´ve changed the brand.

I would think the main difference frontend wise would be the 50Ohm switching on the DS7000/MSO7000. There might be other simplifications in the MSO5000, but it seems sensible to assume that the noise level is in the same league.
What's for sure is that the DS7000 doesn't have a true 1mV/div or even 2mV/div range, either. So the lowest vertical range actually is 4mV/div and everything below is just digital magnification. I guess they didn't even bother to implement lower ranges since they would be unusable due to the noise level.
