Title: Silent Equipment
Post by: luky315 on November 28, 2015, 12:31:28 pm

I'm a bit sensitive to noise and therefore looking for a silent scope and power supply. I have a Rigol DP832 and its fan is loud even when idling and I'm also not happy with the noise the DS4024 Scope makes.
Are there silent scopes and lab supplies out there?

I've got a R&S (Hameg) HMO1002 and these are fanless, so nothing there to make noise :)

There is the option of replacing the fans. I've been seriously considering doing that with my DP832, but I don't want to void the warranty so I've been avoiding it.

also the slower siglent sdg805 (810?) are fanless function generators. Old Analogue ones would be silent too.
