Should I replace my Siglent SDS2014X Plus oscilloscope with SDS3014X HD?
<< < (8/14) > >>
KungFuJosh:
I have the SDS2504XP. It's capable of a lot more than I am. Would I still like a 3000X HD? Of course! I'd be more enthusiastic if it had full HD resolution (minimum), but I'm sure it's still a wonderful screen anyway. However, unless somebody dumps a bunch of money on my bench, I'll be sticking with the scope I have. 😉

In a totally unrelated discussion about chainsaws, I once saw a comment that said "If your saw has never been too small, it is too big.". I think there is some truth to this. On the other hand, an important part of the electronics hobby is playing with test gear. From that perspective, an upgrade can make sense, and I am certainly guilty of owning plenty of stuff I technically don't need.

Yawns  :=\
Just 3 main saws in my stable and they each shine in one way or another…….a bit like scopes.  :P

Yeah, the right tool for the job is a sound mindset.

It's the ONLY mindset as neither an underpowered scope or saw for that matter will allow tackling of some tasks.

It's not just about feature set but also raw BW/horsepower.
2 tools for my biggest tasks are SDS6204A and 3120XP !
SDS7000A, not current but the new higher BW models coming are on my radar.......

None of those is being considered by the OP, and he wants to sell his SDS1104X-E, so doesn't seem to need a second oscilloscope.

He is quite obviously talking about a general purpose scope well enough suited for most jobs. My point is that, under the 3000X-HD, which he is considering, there is no better 'scope for any job in Siglent's lineup. And, over the 3000X-HD there is no relevant scope for the OP, as the budget doesn't allow it.

So, yeah, there is another middle of the road mindset. The right tool for the job, in this case, is the best tool for most jobs, at certain price.

That's assuming he can also afford all of the relevant options and upgrades that he has on his lesser model.  If not, then a lesser but hackable model might be the better option.

What makes you think it can't be improved?
