If you want to potentially do more in-depth work there: Neither the DHO800/900 nor the DHO1000 series offer Rigol's Power Analysis option. For the DHO1000, its big brother (the 4000 model) does support Power Analysis, and the "advanced hacking" approaches TurboTom mentioned should be able to unlock that option on the DHO1000 too. This is however work in progress, and there is no guarantee that it will be made available as a ready-to-use hack.

And it looks like DHO1k is phasing out? So maybe it will be dropped from rigol? DHO800 will be a better "cash cow"?

The recent hacking approach (patching some "which functions are supported here?" calls in the Auklet Android app) has been able to unlock the 50 Ohm inputs and other features normally reserved for the DHO4000, without the unwanted side effects of assuming the dual-ADC configuration of the 4000.

There is some speculation that the original DHO1000 series might be phased out, based on the large discounts currently offered. But reassuringly, the DHO4000 as well as the DHO120xU (recently introduced in China) share the same firmware. So I would hope that future maintenance/upgrade releases will be made available for the DHO1000 tooo, even if it should be discontinued.


--- Quote ---Two points pro DHO1K are the 14/16bit mode which the DHO800 not has?
And the 10MHz ref in is nice to be used with my GPSDO but would this be a big advantage?? I don't know.. on the MSO5k it would probably more helpfull..?

If you want to use the DHO as your "precision scope", the 10 MHz reference might make sense. The 14/16 bit modes (with significantly reduced bandwidth) certainly do.

There are various additional aspects where the 1000 series is ahead of the 800/900; whether they are important to you, only you can decide: Separate EXT trigger input, 200 MHz usable in 4-channel mode (at 500 MSa/s per channel), higher waveform update rate, faster boot time, automated measurements in cursor-defined regions...

For me personally, the larger form factor is an important argument in favor of the 1000. It is not just the absolute screen size, but also its higher resolution which leaves more spave for "net content". For my taste, the relatively large control elements and window frames leave too little room for trace display on the DHO800. Also, I prefer the built-in power supply, but realize that others might see the external USB-C power as an advantage.

OK that was new to me. I thought 50Ohm input wasn't working on DHO1k even with hacking..

Martin72:
I have started to "play through" the Batronix demo board again with the rigol.
I will probably upload the results to googledrive.
I already have a few pictures in the box today.
Note to self: In the pass/fail menu do not activate the screenshot at fail, but save it yourself - otherwise the save message will be included in the picture.
DS17: Demo Acquisitionmode Normal/Average (16x)
DS18/19: Demo Acquisitionmode Normal/Peak
DS20: Demo cursors
DS21-DS24: Demo measurements, several modes
DS25: Demo persistence 1sec
DS26/DS27: Demo Pass/Fail

Martin72:
I had to wait for dinner a while ago, so I did a little noise measurement on a channel when there was nothing on it.
Once with 50ohm termination, once blank 1Mohm, full bandwidth (200Mhz), 20Mhz limited.
Then once at 1µs/div, 1ms/div.
It really is a Rigol scope, it's hard to believe given the values if you had an MSO5354 like I did back then... ;)
(open a pic in a new tab, then zoom in for better viewing the values)
