🔍 Exploring the Versatility of Siglent Technologies SDS1202X Oscilloscope Channels Review

I had a nearly 30 year old surplus Tektronix 475 200MHz dual channel oscilloscope that died a year ago. I opened it and tried to fix it to no avail. Eventually it became clear that if we fixed this we would be spending about the same as buying this Siglent scope, we still had a 30 year old scope that could die at any moment and we decided to a modern digital vision to buy. I did a lot of research online between Rigol, this one and others and settled on this one. I fixed a few things and tested…

I was looking for a good oscilloscope in the 100 MHz range. I rarely work above 50MHz so this would be the perfect oscilloscope for me. The 1202X-E is an interesting beast. I don't have an issue with the scope itself, but I do have an issue with the Siglents product/feature and pricing model and where the scope falls into that gap. Siglent also offers the 1202x and 1102x models in this class. Ignore the covered front vent and ripple button as neither of these visors can be upgraded beyond the…

This is an overview of Siglent Technologies digital oscilloscope. I'm relatively new to Arduino and electronics, mostly building stepper motor controllers, camera interfaces and experimenting with ESP8266 devices. For everything but stepper motor controls (joystick control) I settled with multimeters and literally touched LEDs on different pins to see what was hot. When I started building and had trouble keeping the engines running, I was disappointed. Luckily I found a YouTube video that…
