New Scope Demoboard from Batronix
LoneWolf6912:
Definitely not cheap. But looks pretty promising.

Hi,
Yes but it seems this is the price you have to pay for, the boards from rigol and siglent aren´t cheaper.
Meanwhile I´ve downloaded the manual and read the first chapters.
For example starting with chapter 2.4, triggersystem.
Edge, pulsewidth, dropout/timeout, window, slope, runt....each is explained and how to use the board for it.
Then it continues with the roll mode, average acquisition, peak acquisition, cursor, measurements, X-Y mode, FFT, reference signal, mask test, persistence, math function, etc..
It is always explained what it is and how to display it with the help of the board.
I will work through this bit by bit and present it here - actually a video would be better suited for this.
I have not yet done anything, but it is already apparent that there is no "better" or "worse" compared to my STB-3 from Siglent, at the signal level.
That complements each other, partly.
But where the Batronix board clearly "wins" is the documentation.
Without any doubt.
To be continued.

Yes, they don't make scopes so need hold your hand for whatever scope you connect to it !
STB-3 instructions OTOH provide screenshots each showing scope settings to replicate results. Sometimes the best teacher is doing it yourself and learning how to properly drive your scope.......but no one set of documentation can possibly cover all brands or even user ability.

My dear Rob, I really don't mean any harm, and I always think your efforts are great :) , but in the end there are no excuses for sloppy documentation.
And deep down you know that, I don't think it should be the job of siglent supporters to make light of their sloppiness.
What do you think would happen to us if our customers got such a document and we answered them, hey that's the only way you can learn. ;)
That's just not a customer-friendly way to do things, especially when the product is quite expensive, as in this case.
Even Rigol does it better, which is a bit embarrassing:

Hi!
I am of course very pleased to see that our demo board is already being discussed here on EEVblog a few days after its release.
Some answers to the questions that came up above:
- We already had the demoboard at embedded world fair in Nuremberg to create test signals for the oscilloscopes. So it has already been "visible" in some reports and videos in March.
- The English version of the documentation and the website is in progress and will be available in 1-2 weeks.
- As soon as the documentation is final, we will include it in printed form. The handling in group trainings is simply better with a printed documentation than with a pdf. However, the pdfs will still be available in addition.
- All customers who have already received a demo board without printed documentation will receive the printed version as soon as it is available.
- @Martin72: You were really fast, but not the first or only orderer. But you get the bronze medal as third orderer! ;-)
Best regards
Andre
