Rigol DSO2302A or DHO1072?

Hello,

I am new on this board and not yet pretty familiar with all the input here...  :)

But I have a question:

At the moment I have a MicSig SATO1004 for testing purposes on automotive issues. But for another project I would prefer a desk mount "regular" scope. That makes things easier and I have enough space to put a scope next to all the stuff on my bench.

I have now an offer for a Rigol DSO2302A and for a DHO1072. I now am a little bit puzzled about which one I should take. Maybe at the end of the day it better should be none of them and better a MSO...

The advantages of the DSO2302A:

- higher bandwidth
- 1ns slew rate

The advantages of the DHO1072:

- bigger size of monitor
- bigger size of memory (the 100M option is included)
- newer model

Both have 2GSa/s, 2 channels and 12 Bit ADC (which I prefer).

Besides he DHO is 120 Euro cheaper and if I need more bandwidth it is upgradeable.

Which one would you take?

Best regards and many thanks for your thoughts!

Hi and welcome to the forum..

No, the DS2302 have 8 bit resolution, 12 bit in high resolution mode, the DHO1072 is a true 12 bit scope.
Besides the bandwidth, there are hardly any points that still speak for such an older scope model.
In the bare data comparison, it is inferior to the DHO in almost all points, if it is only about the two, I would clearly advise the DHO.
However, 2 channels might not be enough for you at some point, I would consider that.
If it is not only about the two, I would consider the (hopefully soon to be released) SDS1000X-HD model (also "real" 12bit).
It doesn't have the higher screen resolution as the DHO and also no hdmi output, but should have "out of the box" the less buggy software/UI, as well as the better FFT function, bodeplot possibility (missing from the DHO).
So, between DS2302A and DHO1072, clearly the DHO.
If something else comes into question, possibly think about the SDS1000X-HD, which unfortunately is not yet on the market.

"I have now an offer"

Why not say what this offer is.

Maybe a used one - So I thought first as I´ve read his post.
But it´s still avaible:

Ah, I am sorry. The price is no secret.

Around 850 for the DSO2302A and 750 for the DHO1072.

Actually I found another MSO2302A for 879. What would be the advantages there.

And are you sure it is 8 Bit instead of 12 Bit? The specs say 12...

The MSO is maybe more attractive. I want to check the CAN bus operations on a bench- setup with several ECUs.
