That's the sort of stuff I do with my Rigol DHO800 (hacked to get more memory/bandwidth).

But isn't the DHO800 100 MHz max? Or is the bandwidth actually higher?

Measured bandwidth is much higher than what the the label says on these 'scopes.

The lowest 70Mhz model has about 125MHz measured bandwidth.

You can go up to about 280Mhz but that's a bit high for more than 2 channels with a 1.25GHz sampler.

I have mine set to "100Mhz" which gives about 200Mhz measured bandwidth.

Fungus:
nb. Probing with ordinary probes will completely dominate what you see on screen once you go over about 50MHz.

DSO scopes with serial decoding work fine for basic data monitoring, but if you need to do anything more advanced it was much easier for me with a dedicated LA.

Indeed, and it is usally cheaper then the LA which you need to buy extra (except for some promotions). Thats why I also don't see a big advantage of the internal LAs.

Consider using a scope to verify signal integrity, then flipping to the digital domain and using an LA or protocol analyser.

It might be worth your looking at the Bus Pirate 5 for SPI/UART/etc, costs around £40.

if you can still wait then a
Siglent SDS804X HD € 486,71
Siglent SLA1016 Logic Probes € 342,72
Siglent SAG1021I € 165,41

Together € 994,84

could be a good solution.

Best regards

As the title say, I am in search of a good scope for private use and possibly home office with a budget of about €1500 (~$1650). The stuff that usually (about 80%) will be looked at is UART, I2C, SPI, RS232, voltage measurement in the two-digit mV area, and such stuff.

A colleague once recommended the MSO5074, which seems to be a pretty decent device, and is apparently regarded as the best sub-€1000 scope. Beyond that, the SDS2104X Plus is recommended.

What makes me just pull my hair is that both scope are not that young, and the entries in the forums are not "new". So do they still hold up to more current ones, like the DHO1074 or SDS1104X HD, which is kind of in between both the MSO5074 and the SDS2014X Plus. ..............

Quite understand your confusion.

Data points
SDS2000X Plus is a 500 MHz design.
SDS1000X HD is a 200 MHz design.

Very similar to use as they both share the same UI as does SDS800X HD which is a different form factor and utilises most of the front panel UI as the SDS1000X-E it evolved from.

Keep firing questions and we'll do our best to give good advice.
