Should I buy a Rigol MSO5000?
<< < (14/43) > >>
KC0PPH:
What would be the "next step down" from this scope. Sub $1k price.

Requirements include AWG either internal to the scope or the scope plus AWG should be Sub 1K.

Got the combo siglent SDS 1104X-E scope and awg siglent SDG1032X (wow...actual price only 308€) before.

Hard to beat, for me the SDS 1104X-E is better than rigol DS1054Z and the awg is better than the comparable from rigol, too.

Depends of a sampling rate that you'll be happy with or suits your needs.
For example if you were to select 2 GSa/s and 4 ch and AWG.........few without dropping way down in BW.

However drop down to 1 GSa/s and 4ch there is more choice.

Without some more 'must haves' it's hard to recommend particular models.
A 200 MHz SDS1204X-E with its external SAG1021 AWG option will come in at $1018 and it has 2x 1 GSa's ADC's and 14 Mpts of memory supporting each.

I would prefer the SDG1032X instead, it is miles awy better than the SAG1021

That price killed me. I hat to sell my TEK210 some 4 months ago, to be able to buy the SGD1032X for about €410. I had waited... I could have kept the TEK.

So, about the MSO5000, If I had the 1054Z hacked today and there was no urge for the MSO5000, I waited for it to mature, and in the meantime buy a decent signal generator at decent price, like the SDG1032X for €308  |O
Since the 5000 is hackable today, I don't think that will be otherwise in the future (seems to me that's actually a sales point), and maybe the price can go down a little... or at least you could save some money in the meantime to buy a more mature product if you still into the 5000, or decide for another rival at that time.
