Siglent SDS1104X-E 100Mhz digital oscilloscope 4 channels standard decoder

I believe there are enough advantages to this scope over Rigol's 1054Z that the additional cost is justified. The user interface on this scope is responsive and clean, as opposed to the Rigols' sluggish response to input. In place of 12 divisions, the signal grid has 14 divisions. The waveform view area is not obscured by menu headings. For a 100Mhz scope, the sample rate is adequate, but for a 200Mhz scope, it is mediocre. Dual ADCs, on the other hand, allow for the acquisition of two channels at 1 Gs/sec, which is quite impressive. This is a significant improvement over the Rigol 1000Z series' single ADC, which drops to 500Ms/sec for two channels and 250Ms/sec for four channels. br>br>The probes are adequate but not exceptional. Keep an eye on the 1X/10X switch, which can be easily shifted by mistake. Because the hook sometimes catches on the hat instead of fully clamping on the lead, make sure you make a good connection. The cables are slim and flexible, which is a plus. br>br>Unlike Rigol, this scope's remote access features are extremely useful. The built-in webserver updates quickly, allowing you to view signals full screen on a PC at a rate that makes it worthwhile to use; a LAN connection is included and very easy to set up. After about 45 seconds of setup, I was able to control the scope with my laptop. br>br>On the inputs, the signal noise is relatively low, allowing me to see some low voltage signals within reason. MSO capability can be added later, but the integration isn't as good as the Rigol MSO1000Z scopes. Even with hacking, it is still an option that can't be added to a Rigol DS1054Z. br>br>So far, I've been very pleased with this scope, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to hobbyists or others in need of a low-cost four-channel scope.

I had no idea there was a built-in web server. Simply navigate to the oscilloscope's IP address, and you'll be up and running in no time. There's no need to stare at the tiny screen any longer.

For the past six months, I've been using this scope on and off. The web-browsing capability is built-in. It's a very nice and practical server. br>It was simple to unlock pay-per-view with the help of EEVBlog's instructions. extra- (WiFi access and 200 MHz BW) are provided free of charge. br>For me, there are still two caveats:
1. The cooling fan makes a bit of a racket: (
2. It lacks an RTC, so it has no idea what time it is or what day it is. Because there is no RTC on the computer, files saved to a USB stick do not have a timestamp, which is inconvenient. The web interface over the network can be used to set date and time using SCPI commands. After that, until the next power cycle, it will keep the correct time. br>Alternatively, you can use the web-based interface to control the scope. a user interface In this case, waveform files are downloaded and timestamped to your download folder. br>br>I run this small python script to set the date and time (I assigned a static IP address) for convenience: rm = visa rm = import visa rm = visa rm = visa rm = visa rm = visa rm = visa rm = visa rm = inst = rm in ResourceManager()br> inst = rm in ResourceManager()br> inst = rm in Resource open_resource('TCPIP:'); open_resource('TCPIP:'); open_re 192 168 99: write(': INSTR')br> INSTR')br> INSTR')br> INSTR')br> INSTR')br> SYST: DATE ' time. strftime('%Y%m%d'))

Since the service gave me an old Tek 545 O-meter, I've used test equipment. Later logic analyzers and spectrum analyzers, as well as scopes and room heaters All of the budget eaters and bench hogs. I left bench tech around the time PCs were released and went into IT support; I'm just getting back into audio work and can't believe how many features they cram into this scope for $500. 4 full-featured vertical channels, memory functions, remote access, external storage capability, and math functions such as fourier transforms are all included. With a dongle, it's even possible to do logic capture. When I was working, I would have loved to have something like this, and as a hobby supporter, it's the best toy ever!.

I've recently been programming PICs ranging from tiny MicroChip devices to the ESC32. Constructing contraptions. It was time to say goodbye to the DSO203 and upgrade to something better. br>br>I'm not going to go into detail about the SDS-II's accuracy and features. 1104X- E or something along those lines. There are plenty of people here who are far more qualified to do that than I am, and if you've made it this far through the reviews, you've had enough of it. I'm only going to speak about it from the perspective of a hobbyist. br>br>Recently, there has been a lot of talk (blog talk, that is) about USB-based PC oscilloscopes that can compete with benchtop oscilloscopes. It appears to be reasonable. Your laptop (or desktop) already has a great screen and a lot of processing power. So why not save that money and put it toward better analog circuitry and ADCs, then let the PC handle the rest? That sounds good, but it doesn't appear to be the case. There wasn't a single USB Oscilloscope out there with users who were overjoyed with the PC software. Crashing here, not compatible with WinWhatever there, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, Analog input bandwidth and, more importantly, memory depth appear to be falling behind. To make matters worse, I am an Open Source zealot who prefers to do everything I can on Linux or other unusual systems. What do you mean by a USB drive that is only compatible with Windows? Please pardon my intrusion. "Get over it and pay for that extra display and knobs already!" I told myself. "br>br>It's a good thing I did. " What's more, the SDS-II is a lot of fun to use. 1104X- E allows me to simulate what I would have had if a USB scope had a very well-designed user interface. Because it's got that on top of it! br>br>The SDS- br>br>The SDS- br>br>The SDS- 1104X- On its LAN interface, E has a built-in HTTP server. The web UI looks almost identical to the physical version, and I have to give credit to the developers for doing an excellent job of simulating that UI. On the other hand. br>br>The user interface's first impression: The use of physical knobs is preferable to the use of a mouse. You can't look at a waveform and click virtual buttons the same way you can look at a waveform and turn or push a bunch of physical knobs. If you were a Chameleon, you could use both of your eyes to look at different things at the same time, but you aren't. The second impression is as follows: br>br> That screen, Super Phosphor, is really nice. Could you please make one for my laptop in 1920x1080? br>br>Third, I'm working on software for microcontrollers. So I'm mostly editing source code, compiling it, and uploading/flashing it to the device; now I have to switch back and forth between the O- and the P-. I wish I had a second screen to look at Scope, the app that controls my device, and my source code to see what went wrong this time. What the hell is going on? br>br>All right, that extra screen is exactly what you need. An oscilloscope is not a piece of equipment that runs in the background. You'll need it in the foreground "alongside" whatever you're measuring when you need it. br>br>Attention: br>br>Disclaimer: A USB-based PC Oscilloscope is something I've never owned. I'm not going to do it, and I'm not going to do it anytime Regards, Jan br>br>.
