I bought an Rigol DS2202here in germany yesterday and tested them with the Rigol Ultravision Utilities V2.03 unter Windows 8 x64 with usage of the USB link instead the Ethernet, where is use in normal circumstance.
My UTD-4152c (2GS/s @150Mhz 2 Channel) will be reselled next and is replaced reasoned by the missing of serial analysis- and LXI feature. This was a cheap scope two years ago and did a satisfied job this time. I had replaced them because i got the DSA815-TG last year and would joint them with usage of LXI feature - the capabilities of a common, documented and nearly open communicaton and data transfer protocol make the job quite easier for me. Well, the Rigol DS2202 got a nice wide screen to show a signal and the resolution of the screen makes it more readable. The I2C, SPI analysis looks great, even that a license need to be payed until the trial time ended. Advanced Trigger option and the deeper memory seems to be a nice feature too, but i don't know if i need that actually. Well, this is just a key-based option that could be installed anytime later, if required.
The released Hack's are nice to see, what's possible, but looks anyway unprofessional and you lost the warrenty of the device.
My messuring equipment are references and there values must be reliable - no space for experiments. The license fee for the options are not so expensive like them from HP, TEK or R&S. I got an offer for about € 188.- for the lic of each option - not an unfair price for that.I had checked some signals like an eye-diagram and this looks great on the screen. The decode feature if SPI looks also great - especialy for faster signals. Cheaper logic analyzer like them from Saelogic can't decode, if the electrical signal envelope is wrong.
The practical handling needs to be tested longer, so be patient.
