What are your thoughts on this 14-bit oscilloscope?
ballsystemlord:
So recently there's been a lot of talk about Rigol's higher bit oscilloscopes, but no one has brought up other brands. Out of curiosity, I'm asking you about this scope called the MULTICOMP PRO MP720106 US. It's on sale for USD $410. The manual and datasheet are available for download.
Newark's offering.
They seem to be using oversampling to get higher resolution. It's unclear to me if Rigol's offerings are doing the same thing.
Thanks!
EDIT: To be clear, I wasn't actually planning to buy this. I was just curious.

No, they aren't. Rigols have real 12 bits.
(...and that's why there's multiple threads discussing them while nobody's heard of the Multicomp Pro)

No. These do have 14 bit ADCs from Analog Devices but likely this is a rebadge from a low-end brand like Owon or Hantek (one of both have 14 bit models). But these are not high-end devices with poor firmware. If you want 14 bit or better, look at the Analog discovery or devices from Picoscope.
Besides that, avoid the Multicomp brand from Farnell / Newark. You are better off buying from Aliexpress where it comes to product quality.

MULTICOMP PRO MP720106 is just a rebranded old 14-bit OWON scope.

Umm, is multicomp really that bad?
