TDS 3054 Replacement

I had used a DPO3054 for a while at work, it indeed have a big screen, but the resolution is just WVGA so I wasn't really impressed. Ours got a half-broken multipurpose knob, and we had a "great" time fighting with it.

Reports on compatibility do not seem very positive however: auto detection of scale factor and impedance are not working, offset control is limited to only 20% of the voltage range and there is no offset function for probes that do not support an offset via pin 5. Based on this, I would recommend against buying it unless you verify that the specific probes you want to use with them are not affected by these problems, so it has an offset control independent of the scope. For example the Tek ADA-400A:

Currently I have a Tek TDS3054B scope on my bench, but I'd like something with a bigger screen. Other than that my TDS3054 is overkill for my needs really.

I rarely use all 4 channels, 2 will probably do, but I have been toying with the idea of buying a new Siglent SDS2104X plus, then hacking it go 500MHz BW (if that is still possible)

Granted I don't need the full 500MHz BW but it's nice to have access too.

I'm curious to hear the general concensus if I'm better sticking with the older Tek scope or perhaps replace it with the newer Siglent.

Thanks,
Taylor

I was in the same position a couple years ago.  I had a TDS3054B with all the options, but was looking a more modern scope.  I got the SDS2000X+, and have been happy with it.  That said, I still have and use my Tek!  Sometimes it's for the increased sample rate of the TDS3K, but usually it's some feature the SDS is missing (for example XY-mode features like Z input, tracking cursors, phase cursors, angle measurement, etc...).  The SDS is on my bench all the time, and the Tek comes out once a month or so.

If I were buying a TDS3K replacement today, didn't care about MSO, and could live with 200MHz...  I would consider the Rigol DHO1K or DHO4K.  Oh, and the fan on the DHOs are super loud, so you should feel right at home as a TDS3k owner. ;)

Hello, do you have data dump of TPS2PWR1? thanks

IIRC, the entire data written to the EEPROM of the TPS2PWR1 key module is..... "TPS2PWR1".
