I am a beginner in electronics and wanted to buy an oscilloscope. A 4 Channel DHO800 In my country costs roughly $580 usd. Where as a Ds1054-Z costs roughly $480usd. My budget is tight and contemplating which one to get. I do not know if ill be actually making use of the 12bit on dho800. I will hopefully reach a stage where i would be analyzing spi, i2c signals within 4 months. So evidently ill be moving at a fast pace and im skeptical if the 12bit is needed if i continue learning at this pace. My learning would strictly be restricted to digital, analog electronics, audio electronics. My end project would be to "hack" a ps5. Reasons I want the 1054 over the Dho800: 1) Build Quality 2) Reputation If i want a dho800 for around 480$usd then it would have only two channels. Please help im really confused. An oscilloscope is a big investment for me. Please help me choose one over the other. |

Please note typo. DHO804 in the title and not DHO800. DHO800 only for the last second sentence |

Hi, I own the DHO804 and have the DS1054Z here from work for comparison. I´ve tested the DHO804 over 6 weeks and I must say, it would be worth to spend a bit more for it. It´s in nearly every case above the DS1054Z, decodes from the memory, way better screen.... If you want to know something else, let me know. ;) |

The DS1054Z is an antique by comparison. eg. You mention serial decoding: The serial decoding on the DHO800 is a whole other level compared to the DS1054Z. --- Quote from: mkosett on November 27, 2023, 07:42:12 pm ---Reasons I want the 1054 over the Dho800: 1) Build Quality 2) Reputation --- End quote --- Same build quality. Same reputation. (I've owned both) |

As im a beginner, i am scared that i can destroy the oscilloscope by bad connections/overvoltage etc. Is the 1054Z more resistant to getting destroyed than the dho800? And what about repairability, which is better self repairable than the other? |
