instek 545.60 €
siglent 510.51 €
rigol 404.00 €

Your sig:
Day 11063 without a scope:
I am starting to feel the effects. I might just go insane.

You already know SDS1104X-E is more than 25% better value but further it's a DSO that can offer more still as your needs grow .....MSO and AWG if/when you need them.

Will you settle for a lesser product and always wonder....what if ?

Define lesser. It comes down to the features you need right now and each scope Distelzombie is looking at has it's pros and cons. There is more to a scope than waveforms/s and bandwidth.

It is, indeed.  ???
(Yes, I do change it daily. If that is what you are testing here. Otherwise I have no clue at all why you're mention my signature. I tried PHP but that doesn't work.  :( And no, it is not exactly my birthday.)

Yeah, if I can't find it with LayBuy, I have to save money for at least six month, but maybe more like ten.


BTW, I think this thread started to steer in the wrong direction. I just wanted to know what this hack can do and what that means for the GDS-1054B.
Let's hijack this thread instead: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/is-the-rigol-ds1054z-still-the-best-entry-level-digital-scope-for-the-price/msg1475625/#msg1475625

Does anyone have a copy of 1.18 firmware they are willing to share by any chance? :D
cyberfish:
The latest pre-1.18 firmware I've been able to find was v1.12, from Tradeport, and it works fine on my GDS-1104B! http://www.tradeport.on.ca/news/72/new-firmware-release-of-digital-storage-oscilloscope-gds1000b-gds1000au

I have only tried serial decode, waveform search, and 300 MHz, they all seem to work. I cannot verify 300 MHz though, but there are now 100 MHz and 200 MHz BW limit options, and they do change the signal.

No idea how this compares to serial decode on other scopes, but with this hack, the GDS-1000B is very good value, especially taking into account the circuit design quality of a certain competitor...
