Quote from: corey on June 10, 2023, 12:38:55 amI’m starting to think, for my SDR work and working with IF and FOGAs, maybe I should stretch my budget up to an MSO5000 series. 😅 Probably save me on a nicer signal generator and logic analyser etc. TEquipment sell a 5074 with logic probe. But it’s looking expensive, even from TEquipment, about AU$2000 landed.A couple things to think about that might save you some money on the logic probe: - there are people selling a non-Rigol version of the logic probe (based on designs that were developed in discussion threads on EEVBlog). On US eBay they run about $80 USD shipped to the USA. I'm not sure how the quality compares or what feature differences there might be (like supported signal voltages) different from the Rigol logic probe. - unless you need to have your logic waveforms displayed with and synchronized with analog signals, one of the many inexpensive USB logic analyzers might save you a fair bit

A big plus is that you can see the signals change in realtime. A logic analyser always works in a capture-analyse sequence (no realtime display) while an MSO can do both.
I got GW-Instek GDS1054B.
Siglent's system for turning on measurements is a real pain in the ass by comparison.

It´s about making measurements or did I missunderstood something ?
It's really easy and "quick", I had just tried it out briefly because I was taking pictures for the demo board thread.Press Measure, select source, select parameters, done in a few seconds, could make a short video clip from it, if wanted.

Feel free to explain how easy/fast/intuitive it is to navigate this screen and select things with the twisty knob:
Mine's a touch screen that looks like this:
Just a few seconds to get what you want
there's nothing annoying about it.

...ruined by the awful push-button combination knob.
There are a lot more items on that screen than there would possibly be room for with buttons.

33 seconds
I had now shown how easy it is, more I can not do here.
you´re invited to make a video too, like me:
