One problem with Owon / Hantek is they seem to constantly modify their pcb design based on what inexpensive surplus parts are available at the time. The result is many different hardware versions of the same product, which beyond possibly affecting operation or performance can also require different FW to run. This leads to a lot of variations in performance from version to version and also reduces likelihood of FW updates, since they need to create FW for several hardware boards of the same product. If you get a product from these companies and it works well, you cannot necessarily expect earlier or later versions to operate the same way - there is a LOT of variability in their products. And if you discover software bugs, you cannot always assume they will address them with future updates. Same applies for clone products from other companies that all share the same basic BOM - they all look the same, but can operate very differently.I have old Owon HDS1021M and it still works ok for what it is but never a FW update for my version - instead they release new HDS1021M-N version which is the same product but different pcb. Very frustrating.
Got a 242SHW version 3.3.2FW version 8.6.4Doesn't seem like there are any v8 FW downloads on the websiteThe ohmmeter auto ranging is quite slow
How do you change Signal Generator Hi-Z ? is there 50 ohm mode?
