--- Quote from: Randy222 on November 28, 2023, 05:33:14 pm ---Since I have been looking at 800 up through 2000 series, the DHO804 is bare minimum to buy, you can then "upgrade" it to the 814. Also limited to 100MHz spec, -3db should be somewhere near 180MHz. Albeit single shared ADC. As for mixed signal, sorry just have to comment on it, the SDS1104X-E is on sale now and comes with digi bundle SDS1000X-E-FG and SDS1000X-E-16LA for $475. This SDS can also be "upgraded" to 200MHz. Dual ADC. Each has their own learning curve and are different, but nothing drastic. --- End quote --- I haven't used any of the scopes of this thread, but I think it's relevant to point out that, as a hobbyist, the licenses for the AWG and LA are pretty much irrelevant, as they can be activated rather easily. The actual hardware modules, which are external, are not in any promotion. |

--- Quote from: mkosett on November 27, 2023, 07:42:12 pm ---An oscilloscope is a big investment for me. --- End quote --- Venerable as it has been, the DS1054-Z is made effectively obsolete by the arrival of the 800 series (although, history suggests that Rigol will continue to sell it for some time yet). Obsolete tech is not a good investment. Neither of course is bleeding edge tech but in this case, the 800 shares some pedigree with its bigger siblings (DHO1000/4000) and with it some of the software maturity. Still some way to go by all accounts but useable, especially by a beginner. That said, the second user value of the DS should start to fall accordingly, so if you're prepared to wait for the right time/opportunity, the economics of the choice may be different. |

I am in that hobby boat, 1104X-E or the 804, knowing "upgrades" can be done to them and the price diff is about $100. I think if you add in the "mso" component in requirements, the SDS is a tad more friendly and has Bode. I myself though am looking to get the 804. |

I'm also guessing that anybody who owns a 3000V, high energy supply is either aware of the dangers or has bigger problems than using the probes supplied with the DHO800. |

Tell me what is rectified mains potential in most parts of the world ? ~325 VDC which in a switching supply might have back EMF peaks superimposed on it and therefore for the sake of personal safety and instrument protection it is wisest to use 100x probes of which few would offer a 3kV rating. 1000x probes are also not that expensive.... |
