Hello!
I know the DS1052E has been discussed to death on this forum, and I didn't want to start a new topic regarding the DS1052E, but I did search and did not find anything pertaining to my questions...
I have ordered a 1052E after watching Dave's review on youtube and browsing this forum. I bought mine through eBay from Aidetek, who claims to be an authorized Rigol distributor (and are listed as such on Rigol's website). I received it today, and noticed a few odd things.
Firstly, my unit has Chinese characters on the front bezel above the LCD screen. Something I have never noticed on other units. The words "digital oscilloscope" under the DS1052E are gone. And on the back of my unit, the model is listed as DS1052E-CN. It also did not come in a Rigol box but did come with the software on CD, probes, and a calibration certificate in Chinese. It seems to operate like any other 1052E, running firmware 2.06 and hardware version 58.
I just wanted to see if anyone had a unit like mine with these slight differences? I am probably being overly worried, but I simply want to make sure I have a legit Rigol product and not some counterfeit one. Here are some pictures.
I am just curious as I can not find pictures/video's of the DS1052E with the same casing as mine.
