Siglent SDS804/814X HD or Rigol HDO914S for Mechatronics student
KungFuJosh:
You can use a $20 mini wifi bridge with either. 😉

Make that $14, since most people need to purchase two until they get the right version with the only chip that is supported by the scope. :P
Seriously though -- having the ability to configure the WiFi dongle directly from the Rigol scope is nice. And having WiFi without any cables dangling around behind the scope his nice as well.
Although as soon as you add a signal generator to your bench, you may want a small network switch to connect your instruments to anyway. Hint: Siglent scopes can talk to external Siglent signal generators to do automated Bode plots! ;)

Didn't the SDS1000X-E have USB WiFi adapter support built-in? Seems like it should be trivial for them to add it back if it's not present anymore.

I just typed the chip number into Amazon and got it right first time. :-//

Yup but as an optional feature but with latest firmware, now a standard feature.

One might think so however 800X HD uses a different OS/UI therefore it would require some rework to implement it in the latest models.
But fear not, we have been pushing nagging hard for WiFi support in SDS800X HD for a while.
