Review on Highly Accurate Rigol DS1054Z Digital Oscilloscope with Wide Bandwidth for Precise Measurements by Draven Louton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That's a lot on a grand scale.

Of course, no question, with this Rigol model you get a lot of features for a few euros. And the fact that they add a free legal Rigol software update is a real bonus in this deal. (I assume they will split up the market.) While there are a few places online where you can get a free hack, at least you know it's a legal activation and not an illegal one (seller will email you instructions after purchase). ) ). ). Make sure you save your activation information in case there are any problems in the future. While this is the most advanced scope I've ever worked with, I still have a few concerns. Purchase of this kind. Immediately the first negative thought appeared in me, Rigol chose for us the color highlights of 4 channels. But Ch 2 + 4 are almost identical, at least for my cataract eyeballs. There are so many options for this, why choose 2 that are so close? Why not give the end user the ability to change these colors? (I realize this is a minor issue, but this just shows bad technique, which I hate). Unlocking additional options requires a process that seems more appropriate for launching a nuclear missile than unlocking a purchase option available on multiple websites. online free. The thing is much smaller than my old 2 channels. Philips analog oscilloscope, which I think is around $600 for; and i know it's silly but i always wished it was powered by an internal battery. Simply because it looks like it should be portable. There were other minor issues that I was aware of because they were well documented by others here. Overall I like this scope and doubt the feeling will change.

Pros
  • Testing, measuring & inspecting
Cons
