What is the best probe for the HDS272S?

[tly]

Owon has increased the capabilities on the HDS2102S. it is now 500Msa/s per channel. it is also proven with the pics I posted earlier by me. 

Those pictures relates with HDS2202(S).
For some reason the unit might be marked as HDS2102 but in fact is a HDS2202.

It is not a 2202. A 2202 would show 1Gsa/s on only 1 channel used. My 2102 does show 500Msa/s with only 1  channel in use (as well as 2 channels in use).
Furthermore, if it would be a 2202, the 200MHz signal would not be attenuated so much.

I noticed that it now does 500Ms/s in two channel mode, see pics. It makes sense if you put in a 1Gs/s ADC in the thing. 
Firmware is 2.0.4,
Serial nr HDS2102S2218XXX

Screenshots strongly suggests that 500MSa/s is true with two channels ON. This proves that 1) @Orange is lucky and 2) new batch of OWON HDS2102(S) have dual channel 500MSa/s (or single channel 1GSa/s) ADC (contrary to current spec sheet). These HDS200 scopes keep changing and getting better

My HDS2102S also can do 500MSa/s with both channels active. There was a setting I had to change to make that happen though... Unfortunately, I don't remember the setting, and I can't seem to find it now.

Mine is also 2.0.4 firmware.

mine is ver 1.5.0, only upgradable to v1.5.1 from their website... V2.0.4 is not an option...

i guess i bought my HDS2102S too early

This is one time that procrastinating looks like it worked out well to me. Of course now that the 2202s is out, I am slightly wishing I had that one simply for the rms measurement...

i've been on look out for ScopeMeter for years and i thought its time when i got HDS200 series into my radar... but i guess it will take forever to make a right choice. we cant be too lucky and we cant be too unlucky as well life goes on..

You can use a Siglent PB470 they are of decent quality, and have an isolated BNC plug

I use two Siglent PP510 100MHz probes on the HDS2102S which I had left from an other Siglent scope.

Right. Everything is superseded the moment it is purchased. The best plan is to purchase, then stop looking or reading...

but if there is hope to mod..

Everything can be modded!

My HDS2102S also can do 500MSa/s with both channels active.

You shoudn't trust an Owon unit until you test it.

PS: start to read this forum thread at page 1.

Eh. My Owon is my at home toy when I want a basic scope. Anything I do that needs a real scope I do at work on much nicer scopes. And I read this thread from page 1 before I bought my Owon. 😉

Can I use a 100 MHz probe with a 70 MHz HDS272S?

[electr_peter]

Can I use a 100 MHz probe with a 70 MHz HDS272S?

Yes, probe with BW of 70MHz or more will do and will not limit performance of a scope.

Can I use the OWON OC5010 AC/DC current probe together with the HDS272S?

[Mechatrommer]

Can I use the OWON OC5010 AC/DC current probe together with the HDS272S?

yes you can use it.. even if different brand such as Hantek CC-65 AC/DC current probe, which is much cheaper, you can use.

Well thank you. That's what I wanted to hear.

[juraj.jurej]

Will this BCP reduction fit for Hantek CC-65 AC/DC?

[Mechatrommer]

it is for multimeter

[juraj.jurej]

How to find out the firmware version?

[Mechatrommer]

System button.. and then page down (F4) until you find somwthing like "Info" and press F? below it...

Thank you, I am already. My HDS272S version is V8.0.0

Do you have voltage drift in oscilloscope ("mean" option) when the case heats up inside?
