Hey,
I am in the market for a DSO but have a very tight budget: not much more than €200, so after some searching I stumbled on this thing:
eBay auction: # 130707115073. Does anybody have some experience with this o'scope? Spec wise it is certainly adequate for my needs (200MSa/s; 80MHz bandwith, 2ch, color display) although the 2k point memory is a bit tight this should last me a few years. Ill take knobs and buttons any time over touch screen (from the picture I doubt it even is touchscreen, but just touchbuttons on the side of the screen) but for the price, it is good enough. Problem is, I can't find ANYTHING about this thing on the web. I already asked the seller the model and brand but have yet to receive a respond. I also checked out the nano scopes and I doubt you could see anything usefull on a 3" screen. Plus no proper BNC connectors would give rock bottom signal quality. Not that I expect great signal quality from such a cheap scope but just a 3.5 mm jack is crazy. Not to mention input capacitance and inductance. Oh and all of them have clicky buttons
. At this price range the only alternative is a USB scope but 1. I need my computer for other stuff, 2. I don't want to risk frying the hell out of my computer, 3. as said in one of Dave's video's, they are mostly crap. You could rant about this till the next blue moon but that would get us nowhere
I am an advanced beginner working on things like simple PIC projects, small power supplies, bit of HV, all round tinkering and experimenting etc, and my old crappy analog scope is driving me crazy. Things like low timebase setting and single shot would be really helpfull.
Any tips, advice or suggestions are very welcome.
