Digital Oscilloscope Chart

*Fixed spelling "capasitive" to "capacitive" (Comment from jimjam)

Thanks

[fanOfeeDIY]

Picoscope 4000 series is missing.
Hantek lineup are deadly outdated.

Still long road. 

[fanOfeeDIY]

*Started revising the descriptions of Max Sample Rate, Max Waveform, Memory Depth and Waveform Update Rate to show the performance change from number of channels used.

Updates

*Continue revising the descriptions of Max Sample Rate, Max Waveform and Memory Depth to show the performance change from number of channels used.
*Added Micsig MS500
*Started to add ENOBS, this is going to take long time, and many will be unknown and black columns.

[fanOfeeDIY]

Started to separate columns the models which specs differs of equipped channels, especially for 2ch and 4ch.

This probably going to take long time to to finish

[fanOfeeDIY]

Fixed some of the images were swapped probably due to the database issue.

Added Tekronix 6 Series MSO

Here's a spreadsheet I very recently made comparing 176 oscilloscopes around the same price range as you were considering. Perhaps it will help you with your spreadsheet. I didn't include any <70MHz oscilloscopes or any oscilloscopes with <1Mpts of memory, though.

If you want to keep this spreadsheet's data separate from yours, I wouldn't be against you adding it to the first post in this thread since it will get buried down here. I have no intentions of updating it if I'm happy with the oscilloscope I just purchased, though.

Thanks! Let me work on it, probably this weekend

Hi @CMASupra, I included your chart in the first post. Also created image file from your excel file. Thanks.

Some corrections for Siglent models listed:
SDS1102CML+             1Mohm inputs only
SDS22/2352X-E use the same 16ch LA module as SDS11/1204X-E, Max mem with all channels active = 14 Mpts
SDS2000X Plus 100 Mpts max mem depth/ch with all channels active, 2 or 4ch models.

Suggested additional feature fields for all models/brands:
LAN: Y or N
Webserver: Y or N

Hi @tautech,

Thank you for your valuable corrections.
I will revise them, probably next weekend, thanks again

Updates:
1) I have updated the Siglent SDS2202X-E and SDS2352X-E Mpts per channel when all channels are on from 28 to 14. Found this info in the datasheet.
2) Put down 14 Mpts per digital channel on the SDS2202X-E and SDS2352X-E when 4 channels are active per your info and the datasheet. Cannot determine how many GSa/s the digital channels have with 4 channels on as the datasheet only says 1GSa/s max.

1) The SDS1000CML+ datasheet says all those models have 1MOhm and 50Ohm input impedance on page 4 of the datasheet. Why do you say it's 1MOhm only?
2) What do you mean "SDS2000X Plus 100 Mpts max mem depth/ch with all channels active, 2 or 4ch models"? I believe this info was already in the spreadsheet.
3) I didn't add LAN or Web server to the spreadsheet. Would have to go through all these models to add that and be fair. I also considered adding video out (such as VGA or HDMI).

Added Tektronix 6 Series B MSO to google drive but have not reflected on the png images yet.

There is an error in the table - "SDS2004X-Plus 4ch model"   SDS2104X-Plus can't be upgraded to 350MHz. Upgrade path for SDS2104X-Plus ends with 200MHz max. If you want 350MHz/500MHz you need to buy SDS2354X-Plus for ~$2799

I don't believe this is entirely correct.

Certainly it's cheaper to purchase the 350 MHz model outright rather than follow the official BW upgrade path as can be seen by the costs for each BW upgrade when applied to a $1399 SDS2104X Plus:
https://siglentna.com/product/bandwidth-upgrade-100-to-200-mhz-4-channel-models/ $1399
https://siglentna.com/product/bandwidth-upgrade-200-to-350-mhz-4-channel-models/ $1399
https://siglentna.com/product/bandwidth-upgrade-350-to-500-mhz-4-channel-models-2/ $1399

Others have tested unofficial BW upgrades to 350 MHz and their results indicate there is zero difference in the HW compared to genuine 350 MHz models.

Hey all,

I had a question...
are DSO on aliexpress and alibaba with random chinese names worth the money?

[lunacyworks]

That is a loaded question. The general answer is no under most circumstances.  There are edge cases that could justify a few of the models.  One of the main issues is that they don't live up to the claims so if you go by the stated specs you won't get what you are expecting.
