Highly Accurate Rigol DS1054Z Digital Oscilloscope with Wide Bandwidth for Precise Measurements Review

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…

I'm using this to analyze the signals in some microcontroller circuits (Arduino AVR based) for a book I'm writing. I2C, SPI and RS232 triggering and decoding functions were important for this, but also many measurement functions. The DS1054 has more than enough bandwidth, sampling rate (even with all 4 channels running) and triggering. I am 70 years old and a retired electrical engineer. I used Tektronix analog oscilloscopes from 1966 through the early 1980's. Actually worked for Tektronix…

Great for the price. You won't find a much better new 2016 priced 4 channel digital oscilloscope. There is decent competition from even newer players (like Siglent), maybe with better specs according to the EEVblog, but there are also plenty of bugs and other issues with some of them. I would definitely consider competition, but I feel like Rigol has really established itself as a solid brand. If you've ever used an oscilloscope, I would say that the DS1054Z is actually very intuitive. I…
