Rigol vs Siglent scopes in cheapest HD/12-bit segment....

[Hella_Wini22]

I'm looking at Rigol DHO800&900 series against Siglent's SDS800X-HD & 1000X-HD - top models within the line ( 4 channels, may available bandwidth)

   1.  AWG and logic probe asde, looking at pure scope functions is there any substantial advantage on Rigol's side ?
Rigol has only 1.25Gs/s max sample rate vs Siglen't 2Gs/s. And this evaporates quickly with number of active channels - so it halves at 2 channels and quarters at 3 ch or more.
Even though Rigol924 has declared 250MHz bandwidht, this obviously has to falls with 3 or more channels. SIglent's has only 200MHz bandwidth and it has more sample rate to begin with.
Siglent also has 2x memory depth - 100Mpoints vs Rigol's 50 Mpoints - both models share them for all channels.

So, is there some significant advantage on Rigol's side ?

  2. What's the fundamental difference between Siglent's SDS1000X HD and 800X HD series ? 1000X HD series is priced significantly higher and I can't figure exactly why... 🙄

What does this have to do with Metrology?
