Rigol: DHO1000 vs. MSO5000, what should I get?

(1/4) > >>

Hello,

I think about getting a new 4 Channel Scope, currently consider the DHO1000 or MSO5000 series. What do you think is the one to get for embedded, and a little bit of analog?

- DHO 1204
- MSO 5204

Weather I should Hack it, not sure, I have no experience in Hackability.

My current scope is very low on memory, just 18k, older Rigol DS1104B.

Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Seppeltronics

P.S. LA, I use sigrok with cheap LA's. Having that integrated in the scope is nice, but not a Must.

Hello,

You have to decide quickly, because the DHO1000 is significantly cheaper until 31.12.2023. The hack of the DHO1000 is really very easy and you can easily delete the generated files to remove the hacked licenses again.

Perhaps a DHO1074 and a Digital Discovery are more useful than an MSO5000.

A DHO1074 plus an MSO5074 is cheaper until 31.12.2023 than an MSO5204.

Best regards

Hello,

in the company I worked before, I got an Rigol MSO7104, noisy frontend, but damn fast acquisition, damn deep memory, for digital/embedded that is ideal. It's like an american muscle car, not that refined, but lot's of horsepower!

My friends from the central R&D had a R&S RTB2004 100Mhz, very nice analog frontend, nice resolution, but when it started to trigger, it had a wired characteristic, having issues "getting up the Waveform-Rate". Not on the Rigol, it was instant. The "Eventlist", that is way ahead of the Rigol. It's more the Porsche type of scope, more refined, but less powerful. What was really "low end" was the plastic case and the front cover, the sturdy Rigol vs. the flimsy R&S  :-// .

With the Rigol DHO1000, I have no experience, I'd like to have a good resolution, but high sampling-speed comes in handy as well,...not to forget the integrated LA,... .

Did Rigol sell a lot of DHO1k/4k? The DHO1k seems like a good deal, in comparison to R&S and others?

Best Regards, Seppel

For mostly digital, the 5000 is a beast. Much higher bandwidth and sample rate, plus you have MSO option and signal generator.

Back in 2018 I did a list, the R&S RTB2k and Rigol MSO7k were the top two, the MSO5k was not on the market back then. On that base my colleague ordered the RTB2k and I wordered the MSO7k.
