Review on Hantek 📊 DSO5102P Digital Oscilloscope by Cornelius Mosley

I'll try not to miss anything in this review, but overall this is a good scope for beginners. Personally I've only played with this scope and another which I believe was an older Rigol. As a novice oscilloscope user, I can say that after a day or so of playing around with the huge selection of buttons, it wasn't hard to get used to them. I'm pretty good at that. I haven't had any problems or bugs and everything works as it should. The sensors are decent enough, the screen resolution is quite decent, the sample rate and frequency aren't bad. As you get used to the menu settings, the Fast Fourier Transform function is hidden at the bottom of the Operation tab in the Math menu. evaluate better. The only downsides I've found so far are pretty minor: you don't always get a completely smooth transition when sliding a waveform across the timeline. It's catching up, but don't expect a completely smooth real-time switch. The ON/OFF button feels a bit cheap. There are times when the volts-per-div knobs miss a beat when fine-tuning slowly. never mind The boot time is about 10 seconds and I can't tell if it's standard or not. Having said all I feel for those looking to buy a good inexpensive scope this is a good option. Maybe for $100 or so you might be able to get a cheaper Keysight or Rigol, but IDK if it's worth it for an amateur.
