oscilloscope recommendation for hobby use

But we are slipped to touch UI discussions and @Aurgelme maybe is not interested about. Maybe he just want to wake our interest on new Rigol scopes (HDO800 & 900) ... who knows 

Have I mentioned that Micsigs can browse the EEVBLOG forums, view PDFs, watch Youtube, play back videos from USB sticks... 

Bus still no basic statistics on measurements....

Hi 2N3055!
TO series which OP is pursuing has statistics.

Great... Now they should port it back to all the 2000 and 1000 devices... Even DS1054Z has statistics (and decent one too).
At first I liked that Miscig "out of the box" thinking and company being  something different. And then they came out with a (to me) perfect format of tablet + "real buttons". And after just 2 years, abandoned it completely and came out with PlayStation controller.
And now scopes with proprietary connectors...
They seem to behave as if scopes are consumer electronics gadgets...
I bought STO1104C, like it for what it is, but would not buy anymore from them. I cannot agree with their direction.... I cannot really figure it out what it is... They just seem to be constantly experimenting..

I would not give 1000 € for that Micsig. It is seriously outmatched by number of Rigol and Siglent scopes at roughly that  price range.. It's only plus is size.

After a few weeks holiday I read through the thread, and there are many good posts with good explanations and a lot of humor. It also looks like the choices most people make are what they are used to when choosing a scope.

I'm used to switches, so I changed my mind and bought a cheap Siglent sds1202x-e, to test whether this scope suits me.
If I like this, it will be a Siglent SDS2104X HD later this autumn, if no one advises me against buying this.

That's a wonderful scope, and if I could afford it (or actually needed something better than my SDS2504X+), I'd get it.

HD owners wouldn´t do that...

There's some new Rigols on the horizon:

12-bit resolution and next-gen user interface. They're a mini version of this one (which is also worth considering):



Once you've gone touch screen there's no going back...

I would not advise against the SDS2104X HD. But if you are not in a hurry you might also consider the upcoming SDS1000X HD series. At least check if the additional features of the 2000 HD are worth the additional price over the 1000 HD for you.

Good basic DSO

Compared to a 2ch X-E the difference is like night and day !
Quite different UI's and HD uses multiplexed vertical controls and has so so many more features I could write a small book about them.....

There are few similarities other than branding, SDS2000X HD is a premium product at its price point.

I have seen that it will be on the market in Europe later in the autumn, so I will consider it then.

Found this info on a Chinese site, oh it looks pretty promising

That's nothing. How about a game of Peg solitaire?

[KungFuJosh]

That screenshot is the first thing that made me want one of those. Can we play gomoku on any other Siglent gear? Add that to the firmware update requests!

Funny you ask. 

I did too on the Siglent private forum and was greeted with a great big  !

I´ll buy a SDS7000 and install Far Cry on it....

Will that run on an i3?

[Martin72]

My favourite Far Cry (the first and best part) for sure...
If not, well I´ll take an i5..

Meh.

Get a Micsig, You can surf the web, watch youtube, post in EEVBLOG forums, read PDFs, play videos from a pendrive, run office apps ... and no hacking needed.

[Martin72]

That's what it's for, measuring with it is a nice side effect.

Don't miss the forest for the trees. A lot of seemingly useless endeavors are just parts of a more useful process.
