Title: OWON SDS1102 low end 100Mhz oscilloscope
Post by: testluck02 on November 23, 2017, 06:46:31 am
Here is a video for OWON new 100Mhz low end oscilloscope, quite idea one for engineers with limited budget.

Yes, it is cheap. No other advantage. All knobs have the same size, that is weird.

Have they really given it the same model number as an existing Siglent product?   :palm:

Because why not. It's not as if there's an infinite amount of product numbers.

Sure, but when you do a search, even with Owon on the front, you get swamped with hits for the exisiting Siglent product. Not a great marketing decision for a newly introduced product.

I was being sarcastic, as there almost litterally are an infinite amount of product numbers.  ;D It might be deliberate, to ride the coattails of their competitor perhaps? That way you turn up when someone looks for the cheapest Siglent he can find. That might catch out a few.

I couldn't even find it on the Owon website.  Not quite sure how Scargill managed to buy one.  I just wanted to find the price out of curiosity.  Most manufacturers use similar encoding of the number of channels and bandwidth.

I bought at this local shop before. Maybe not local for you, but price indication

I though this was an older model though?

Thanks.  I'd have thought it was a new model from its absence on the Owon site and the difficulty finding it at the big US sellers.  I'll be interested to see a tear down and detailed review.

My personal recommendation is to stay away from Owon. Almost no future updates, poor build quality, pretty bad UI, slow waveform updates, non-competetive pricing (in comparison with new Siglent and Rigol entry level scopes) and many other issues.

Any more user experiences on these series of scopes?

Going by the youtube video it looks like an actual (simple but) usable tool.
Spanning the price gap between used crt/bottom end usb scopes and the more popular rigols/siglents, it could be worth considering?

I think Owon EDS202E is much better deal that is ~$250 on Amazon and seems to be a rebranded SDS7102.  EDS has 1M storage per channel.

Title: Re: OWON SDS1102 low end 100Mhz oscilloscope
Post by: jebem on October 15, 2020, 11:28:25 am
I bought one of these OWON SDS1102 2-channel scopes.

1. Small intro.
Having worked in electronics since the 70's on several different fields from radioisotopes labs to telecommunications, I had my fair share of professional equipment from brands like Tektronix, HP,  RACAL, FLUKE, and so on, and it is easy to lose perspective of things when you are spoiled with 1GHz real time oscilloscopes in the 70's, some with storage memory.


2. Is this OWON SDS1102 a low cost scope, as advertised in their own website?
Yes, absolutely.
OWON is honest in what they are advertising.


3. Is it garbage?
Not at all.
For the asking price (I paid 190 EUR delivered from Spain on AliExpress) I can not ask better specifications and above all, real performance above what people may think.
It is an honest product, very useful when you need a dual trace scope with memory to do some basic repairs or adjustments on consumer electronics or even on professional equipment, why not.
The integrated counter and meters are spot on, I have checked it against my calibrated 520MHz vintage Fluke  1920A.


4. Is it badly designed and built?
Not at all.

If you are into electronics and have experience and knowledge on design and build equipment, you will recognize that this design is on pair with any other brand design on the same price  range.

Do not get fouled by the apparent simplicity when you remove the back cover and look to the three main assemblies.
This is a modern design, well laid out, properly shielded where required. It has nothing to do with lesser integrated designs that use bigger components and huge metal cans that give you a feeling of robustness, surely, but that has nothing to do with real performance of that product.

This is a complex design, miniaturized with SMD components on BOTH sides of the POCBs, and made as simple as possible without compromising the specs and performance.
In fact, it is impressive built considering the price point.


5. Are there compromises in design and implementation?
Sure, there are.
But you will find them in any other oscilloscope, irrespective of price range. You will want more. That is the human nature.

On this design, the analog vertical amplifiers and ADC could have 1mV/div instead of that 5mV/div with limited bandwidth, and the trigger could be more efficient to handle RF audio modulated signals.

On this implementation, the switching power supply could have been enclosed in a metal can. But again, why people, like myself, tell this? Did we actually took measurements on using shielded power supplies in this model? That is assumptions we made, without any proof.

Talking about power supply on this model, some reviews mention on how simple the power supply is, like a more complex design would be better. Again, that is an assumption without any proof.
The implemented power supply achieves the required specs with safe margin, and it is not as simple as people may think. The PCB has components on BOTH sides.
Additionally this SDS1102 model uses LOCAL Regulated power supplies close to the respective loads (look closer to the main PCB).

Do I like to see a huge electrolytic cap mounted over the main PCB in piggyback style, like they had second thoughts about the implementation?
No, I do not. But looking into other OWON models and PCB revisions, I understand that that decision is deliberated, probably to save precious PCB space and maintain the manufacturing costs in check.

The plastic injection used for the case components looks good to me, but it could be better. On my unit, the handle is warped a little on one side. Small thing, but enough to show where they cut costs.


6. Wrap up
That is all, folks.
This is my honest finding so far.
Others will have other opinions about this scope after they have used it for a while, I respect that.

Going by the youtube video it looks like an actual (simple but) usable tool.

Sure, it'll work.

Around here though we can compare many different scopes and rate then in terms of bang per buck and possibility that you'll need more features in the future (those Owons aren't big in the "features" department).

The conclusion has long been that the Rigol DS1054Z is the real starting point. That's where the bang per buck makes sense. If you spend less you'll either get something really bad quality (bugridden), not much bang, or both.  ie. When you learn more about 'scopes there's a good chance you'll regret not spending $100 more.

Owons are known for locking up, frequent reboots and not much bang. If you can put up with that then go ahead and buy one. You 'll be fine if you only use it once per week for simple jobs. For constant daily use though, it's worth aiming a bit higher.

Well, what I see in the forums against OWON is basically prejudice without presenting real proof of those statements.
That said, I am not telling that some of those claims against OWON are false.

What I see so far is people removing the back cover and making remarks about the "simplicity" of what they think they see, and mocking about funny names on the electrolytic capacitors, and this is not correct at all. Maybe that is fine if you are a comedian.
If you want to make these allegations, you need to use scientific approach, not this way of dismissing a product without any proof.

There are no perfect products, all of them, irrespective of price, due to its embedded software complexity, are prone to lock at some point.
There are no brands immune to lock ups.
There is no such thing as only one brand/model is the best for this job. These days are long gone, when Tektronix ruled the world.

That said, no one claims that this basic OWON model are the best thing in the universe. There are better equipment if you are willing to pay more.
If 200 EUR is your limit to spend, then this OWON SDS1102 should be in your shortlist, not only on the specs, but on proved performance (keep reading).

Maybe in the USA, OWON is not well regarded, but here in Western and Eastern Europe, OWON, and in particular this SDS1102 model is being sold since 2017 with great success under its original name OWON, and under another German brand name called Pollin Electronic GmbH.

For those that are aware of a extremely popular (at least in whole Europe) electronics magazine called ELEKTOR, oriented to DIY projects and long time seller of tested low cost lab equipment to their readers/hobbyists/customers,  I have to say that they support and sell this OWON SDS1102 on their sales channel.
ELEKTOR is a respectable brand in EUROPE, very well known to support reliable products to their customers.

And here is my OWON SDS1102 left running since yesterday, 12 hours and counting, so far with no funny behaviors or lockups.

Are you serious? 10k points of memory depth, only two trigger types (of which one - video - is basically useless nowadays), no protocol decoders, apparently no intensity grading... And having to pay ~250 eur delivered while for a hundred more, one can have a scope that's really useful for years to come, should make the decision easy.

This Owon more or less resembles the colour version of the TDS220 dating back two decades, and I may not do justice with this statement to the latter.

Even a beginner in hobby electronics, when intending to get into arduino / microcontroller stuff, will quickly outgrow this scope.

If one needs an ultra-low-budget scope, there's the used market and maybe some small Chinese manufacturers (Fnirsi...) that offer really inexpensive "toys" at less than half of Owon's price.

Title: Re: OWON SDS1102 low end 100Mhz oscilloscope
Post by: jebem on October 16, 2020, 10:37:34 am
Yes, I am serious, and I know what I am talking about
Clearly you do not know what you are talking about concerning this scope features.
And 10K depth is more than enough if you know how to use it. Arduino or professional service.
Read my comments above, this is an entry scope sold at 190 EUR in Europe, replying to the open post about this model.

Or go for specs, talking about a product without even test it or at least read the user guide available for download at OWON site.
That is what I have been reading here.

I know what a professional scope is, thank you very much.
This is not this one, or neither one proposed a alternative here.

Looks to be the exact same scope as a Hanmatek DOS1102. Same buttons, colours, everything.

It is a very basic scope, 5mv bottom range (this is what the actual scope delivers which seems different from the stated specs), limited triggering options, relatively small memory etc.

It looks like it is from the same company that makes those $70 hand held scopes from AliExpress

In the same price range, you can get a Rigol DS1102Z-E which has many more features, 1mV bottom range, many triggering options, 24Mpt memory, I2C SPI analysis etc

After ordering the Hanmatek and trying it out, I returned it and got the Rigol. The difference in price was £30 extra for a LOT more scope.

Sure, the Hanmatek(Owon) worked but the Rigol is a LOT better scope in that same budget price range (£199 vs £230)

Owon/Lilliput products are definitely worth considering but obviously do your homework on required features and consider the brand reputation and current price points.  There are so many factors involved with a decision on what to purchase.  You can even change your mind from one day to the next.

When shopping for a scope in the sub-$500 range a while back I went back and forth between an older used unit and a newer Rigol or Siglent but really didn't even have all the specific needs locked in.  So when a new Owon XDS3202E came up for sale for about $150 delivered, I hit the button.  Of course I researched everything about it and really the major complaints that impacted me revolved around the price, which suddenly wasn't an issue...

Probably one major negative is that software/firmware updates from Owon can be sparse to non-existent.

I'm not sure why a lot of peoples seem to be bashing Owon. On top of that it's not clear if they actually tried one or owned a Owon product or if they just propagate rumors.

On my side I also bought a XDS3202E for 150$ when it was on sale on arrow. I used it for some times now and I like it a lot. Never crashed or rebooted. I also didn't find any bugs or problems. They don't produce new firmware but the product is doing what it should anyway.

Build quality is good. I also got a Rigol DG831 and I would say that the build quality feel better on the Owon.

On the user interface side it could be better but you get used to it. It's definitely better than the Rigol DG831.

The frontend of the scope seem to be good. I measured the -3 dB point at 349Mhz (it's a 200Mhz scope).

The 200Mhz probes (OW3200) provided with the scope are generally good. Definitely better than the Rigol PVP2350 (350Mhz) I tested.

Now I only tried one product from Owon but I was generally surprised and satisfied.

I can report that XDM3051 bench multimeter and ODP6033 triple power supply have been very reliable. I enjoy using them. I bought them from Arrow for less than $500 CDN combined during the same sale I believe.

I have been usung a single channel P4305 power supply at work for the last 18 months I suppose.  It gets quite a lot of use, and seems to be hanging in there very well. 

To be honest, I'm hoping Owon builds an electronic load.  I can't seem to get my hands on a Rigol for a decent price or a Siglent at all in Canada.

Now I only tried one product from Owon but I was generally surprised and satisfied.

I tried a DOS1102 and while what you say is true, it did what it claimed to without glitching or crashing in any way, it was missing a lot of features that I would think are basic for a digital scope.

If what you want is a digital scope that does not have much more capability than an analog one it will do that job and do it well but I have a feeling that an XDS3202E is a far different beast than an SDS1102.

Myself, I decided that for just £30 more, I preferred a scope that had I2C analysis, more than 'rise' and 'fall' (and video, wtf?) as trigger options, a 1mV-10V/div range instead of 5mV-5V/div, an intensity graded display and 24Mpts memory instead of 10K (just a few things that jumped out comparing spec sheets). I will also admit that the name 'Rigol' had some pull to it, especially after I saw the same scope advertised by two different companies which is something that does not inspire confidence in me. I also did not like the way that the only way you could see information like frequency was with a huge box 'O' text that covered the waveform.

I had no problems using the Owon/Hanmatek but I found myself wanting to do more with a scope than it could do, and I wanted to do that within 12 hours of getting it, and I could tell that after a very short while that wanting would turn into a great frustration.

It's not a terrible scope and I have no doubts it would be reliable for a length of time anyone would be happy with, it's just that in my opinion there are much better scopes out there in the same price bracket (£200-250 UK) and it has limitations that would quickly start to frustrate even a novice user and lead them to regret their choice in buying it.

Post by: J-R on October 18, 2020, 02:59:36 am
On the Owon you can add various measurements to the display at the bottom of the screen as shown by jebem's screenshot.  In that case it is in FFT mode with the cursor enabled so the measurement boxes have been shifted to the right temporarily.

Clearly we have one person who wanted something at nearly the lowest price possible, while the other person wanted specific features and was willing to pay a small amount more for it.  Both are valid points I think.

Personally, I doubt I will buy any more Owon products.  Or even Rigol or Siglent.   HP/Agilent/Keysight seems to fit me better going forward.  But I'm happy I got the Owon at that price.  Very helpful in my case.
Title: Re: OWON SDS1102 low end 100Mhz oscilloscope
Post by: jebem on October 18, 2020, 08:50:38 am
Again, this is a low end scope, make no mistake. I clearly stated that in my initial review here.

That said, it is not that "basic" and limited in features.
For those interested, please read the user guide available from Owon official website. 
Some of them, verified by myself on the scope by doing some measurements, not just reading specs here and there (that is the starting point, though):
- On Acquisition modes, it offers Sample, Peak detect, and Average, Vector or Dot types, Persistence OFF, 1, 2, 5 and Infinity, XY Mode, Counter Off/ON.
- On Measure it offers up to 30 different types.
- On Cursor it offers Voltage, Time, Time&Voltage, Auto Cursor.
- On Utility, Display backlight from 0 to 100%, Graticule with 3 types, Menu time out from 0 to 30 sec.
- On Vertical inputs, AC/DC coupling, 5mV with 20MHz limited BW, 50mV with full BW, Inverted Off/On, Probe 1X/10X/100X/1000X, MeasureCurrent Off/On, Limit bandwidth Off (full 100MHz on 10X) / ON  (20MHz on 1X)
- On Math, it offers Sign +, -, *, /, and FFT (both channels, six common algorithms, Vrms or dB, Horizontal/Vertical adjustments, Cursors)
- On Trigger it offers AC/ON coupling, Single/Alternate, Edge or Video (yes, some people still enjoy PAL/SECAM/NTSC (!) ), Auto/Normal/Single modes,  two ramp slopes with adjustable level, Holdoff from 100nS to 10.0 sec

And before someone ask, yes, it can use a USB pen at the front to save waves and screenshots, and yes, the scope has a second USB port at the rear to talk to a PC, where the Windows remote capture and control application available for downloads from Owon official site works nicely and smooth, no lockouts or hangs or funny stuff in there. And yes, that application runs fine on Windows 10 as well. For those having this scope and not able to install the Owon app due to initial error messages, just rename the zip file to remove the chinese chars, and as for the Windows scope driver installation just follow the supplied instructions.


The best prices I can find delivered to Portugal free of additional import taxes are from AliExpress where some Chinese suppliers have European Union warehouses in Germany, UK, France and Spain.
AliExpess Spain location offers free shipping to Portugal as well, after all we are in the same Iberian Peninsula. Currently there are a few suppliers delivering the OWON SDS1102 for 190,40 EUR shipment included and no additional taxes.

The other alternatives, with better specs, are far more costly from my base location.

For example the Rigol DS1102Z-E that I had in my shortlist as well, is not available from any European locations, starts at around 230 EUR to 270 EUR all from China located warehouses, meaning that I would have to wait at very least 2 or 3 months (I have this experience importing other goods from there) and then pay custom import duties and VAT on top of that.

And the XDS3202E  would cost at least 331 EUR + custom import duties on European Union.

For my needs, the Owon SDS1102 serves me well.
If I need to capture data for analysis, then I will buy an USB logic analyzer. These can be found at really low prices with decent specs.

And here is my humble SDS1102 acquiring a 110MHz 78mV rms sinusoidal wave from a vintage Heathkit IG-102S running at its top limit fundamental frequency, where the advertised feature of being able to work at 220MHz (2nd harmonic) is confirmed by the FFT humble analysis of the Owon.

Yes, it is available from an EU location.

Rigol DS1102Z-E Digital Oscilloscope 2-Channel 100MHz.1 GSa/s, 24 Mpts, 8 Bit, free trigger/decoding

Delivered from Rigol EU, based in Germany so no import taxes anywhere in the EU.

£234.32 & FREE Delivery Arrives: Oct 24 - 28

All I am saying is that because Amazon has such a great return policy, and I took up the offer of a £500 credit card at the same time, I ordered both. I tried them both out and sent back the Owon/Hanmatek.

My opinion is based on using them both side by side hands on in the same environment. When sat next to my DS1102Z-E, it seemed basic and lacking in features that were on the scope next to it. Of course there were some areas where the Rigol lost out, moving a waveform vertically using the control knob was less smooth and the probes did not seem as well built.

Other people may have different needs of course. I wanted the scope that would grow with mine rather than restrict them.

I got a XDS3062A from that sale on Arrow and have been pretty happy with it. It does have a few specific bugs:
When transferring data from scope to computer every millionths point is corrupted
When one channel is set to inverted and then turned off, the other channel is messed up when 1 GHz sampling rate is used
Large sharp square pulses have a 2% overshoot that decays over 2 usec.

Otherwise, I love the large crisp display, 12 bit resolution, low input noise, decent FFT. It doesn't feel like a low cost scope.

It would be nice to have more waveform measurements, such as standard deviation, and have measurements done on full waveform, but many other brands don't do it right either. Also decoding was not included, but it did come with a build-in function generator (pretty useful) and a multimeter (rather useless).

It shouldn't feel like a low cost scope at £550 especially considering you get only 2 channels at 70Mhz for that money.

it looks like very outdated scope. Today's oscilloscope for novice needs at least 24 megapoints memory.
And I think it's better to look for 2 GS or above with high res display, because 1 GS is outdated technology.

These days, 10 k memory is too small even for pocket multimeter.
Probably it produce a lot of aliasing at slow horizontal resolution. It will be confusing for newbies.

I only paid $200 for it on sale, but even at the regular price of around $400 it is a good deal since any other high-resolution low input noise scope (like R&S) are well over $1000.
