What is a Hantek DSO2D10

[pendoric]

I am wondering if the Hantek DSO2D10 is any good. I can't find this on the Hantek site.

Includes a Signal gen and 2 channels for <$200. Also has 150Mhz version for a little more.

I am looking for a reasonable low cost scope for a noob (actually did a fair bit of digital stuff way back in the day at Uni) but now heading back into the rabbit hole as a hobby.

https://usa.banggood.com/Hantek-DSO2D10-Digital-Oscilloscope-2CH+1CH-Digital-Storage-1GS-or-s-Sampling-Rate-100MHz-Bandwidth-Dual-Channel-Economical-Oscilloscope-with-Signal-Source(AWG)-p-1765904.html?cur_warehouse=CN

In the Vertical section it does say.
Bandwidth limit   20MHz

So I am wondering if this is one of those "pocket" scopes in a desk case and not really a 100/150Mhz unit.

If this is not a good option what is a new model that will do the job. Absolute max cost of about $400 but prefer about $200.

Cheers.

That will be a low pass filter that you can switch on to eliminate high frequency noise. All DSOs have that (or should have...)

If this is not a good option what is a new model that will do the job. Absolute max cost of about $400 but prefer about $200.

You don't say what the "job" is but if you live in the USA then grab one of these while you still can:

https://www.tequipment.net/Instek/GDS-1054B/Digital-Oscilloscopes/?search=true

They're absolutely the best value you can get for under $400 (and cost about $500 everywhere else).

PS: Look for TE discount codes hidden in these forums, you'll get it for under $300. Also look for the hacking thread to unlock features.

This black front panel trend is just horrible, I miss the old and boring gray

[pendoric]

Yes I was originally thinking this was some sort of knock off but the manual does download from Hantek. Also the unit have a 150Mhz option and is the 'new' black look.

So now am wondering is it a new model. That said it does say the following in the specs that are concerning (but actually probably honest for most scopes in this range).

Note: Bandwidth reduced to 6MHz when using a 1X probe

I don't know where "6MHz" comes from but on all 'scopes you usually need to turn on the 20MHz limiter when you use 1x probes or the background radio noise will swamp the signal.

These are the new "low cost" models from Hantek that are supposedly available only for the Chinese market at this moment.

The specs seems ok, it even has a 12bit hi-resolution mode but I don't know how good it really is. Normally, Hantek makes descent hardware (considering its price range). I would be more concerned on how stable is the firmware, Hantek products are famous for be very buggy.

Note: Bandwidth reduced to 6MHz when using a 1X probe

I think that's a limitation of x1 probes, not of the oscilloscope. Dave made a video about that a long time ago:

Do you know if this is Zynq based like the Siglent SDS-1202X-E (Zynq 7020) or Instek GDS-1054B (Zynq 7010). If so any idea which model?

If it Zynq based a 150Mhz (none hacked) scope with Sig Gen and signal decode for $237 will be a killer

Though I must admit I am leaning to the GDS-1054B as it is 4 channel though lower frequency.

[Microcheap]

Sorry, I have no idea which FPGA they are using but, as I said, given Hantek's history, I would be more concerned about the firmware quality, specially in such a new product.

I've never used a GW-Instek so I can't comment on that but, you will find some supporters of the brand here in the forum, it seems to be a solid device and, if you can have 4ch, that's a no-brainer.

I am not sure but, I think you can "upgrade" the GDS to a higher bandwidth too: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/possible-gw-instek-gds-1000b-hack/

If you decide for the hantek, have a look on Aliexpress, stuff is usually cheaper than Banggood and now on 11/11 they will have a big sale and you can get a lot of discounts coupons.

[superKris]

Anyone has any new info on this? I ordered one on banggood a few days ago. It will be my first scope since you fluke scopemeter form the 90s. I'm not very interested in capturing high frequency stuff so i got the DSO2D10.

I'm a total noob with scopes, but it seems very similar to the DSO5102P with the biggest difference being the memory. I guess this means i can capture a longer for a longer time at the same time resolution right? I like this for my DC stuff.

Hope the firmware will be decent. I once owned a USB DSO by Hantek. Most horrible software ever!

Hi,

There was already a thread for this I opened almost a month ago:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-hantek-dso2x1x-models

I also asked about this on the 200Mhz hack thread:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/hantek-tekway-dso-hack-get-200mhz-bw-for-free/msg3290518/#msg3290518

What's the 1x probes issue? Could you explain it with a bit more detail, please? Is it common to any oscillo or is it a Hantek issue?

Just closing the loop on this thread.

In the end I picked up a Siglent SDS-1104X-E new from Amazon on a black Friday deal at $424

I was about to pull the trigger on the GW-Instek GDS-1054B that is a hell of a deal at $310 but decided the for the extra $114 to get 2 DACs vs 1 (can do two channels at 1Gs/s each) and possible future expansion of 16 digital channels and siggen (bode plot) if I ever want them down the road.

I am still intrigued by the Hantek DSO2D10 and DSO2D15, they may well have done me fine. In the end with no teardowns or even critical reviews out there I passed and moved up market a little.

I probably now have way more scope than i need but a big thanks to Fungus for pointing me at quality alternatives that I would not have considered otherwise.

Hi there,

not trying to steal the thread but wanted to thank people on the forum, the information out there is vast. I am in the market for a more modern scope, I currently own the good old Tektronix TDS210 which is great but I wanted to get 4 channels and some modern features. I was looking very strongly at Instek GDS1054B, separate controls per channel, the 10Mpts memory per channel and quick FFT update thanks to fast Zinq processor but when I watched Dave Jones teardown and the noise glitches it has at mV resolution I started to rethink it all. I do like the GUI of Instek scopes very much really that is their big plus in my opinion, menus are nice and you can hide them all. But just like you I ended up ordering Siglent SDS1104X-E, on paper its better and build quality is better but I still feel kind of torn apart because I already fell in love with Instek, they did really good job actually. But specs are better for Siglent though their screen looks kinda dull and almost monochromatic.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know I went the same path, wanted to get GDS1054B but ended up buying Siglent SDS1104X-E. Dave in his teardown video showed that this one is using 200mHz capable frontend so maybe there will be some "nice upgrades" possible as well 

[superKris]

So who here actualy has the scope?

I ordered mine a month ago on banggood, en they just keep pushing the shipment date without any real information about why.

[upsss]

I ordered mine a week ago also from Banggood and my shipping date was pushed more than 3 weeks, their excuses "excessive demand".

[Microcheap]

Shipping from China is very complicated at this time, there's a shortage of flights and ships leaving the ports. Apparently the government is imposing some restrictions to try to contain a raise in cases of COVID, all worsened by the natural high demand of this time of the year. As a result, the shipping costs have skyrocketed.

Another explanation could be that (that's all my speculation) as Hantek said that these model have not been released abroad yet, they were intended to the Chinese market at first, they could be holding the orders from the sellers trying to ship the oscilloscopes abroad.

[superKris]

Plenty of other stuff being shipped from China. Anyway i see no indication this have tried to ship it in the last month.

Banggood is claiming they are waiting for new stock, but i doubt they ever had any stock. The lead times they are claiming seem to be random and based on nothing.

You could be right about the Hantek not shipping the scopes to export customers. I hope thats not the case. The other thing i'm fearing is that they sold at to low prices and are waiting for a chance to buy at a better price.

I rather not cancel my order as i got a decent deal with a coupon and banggood offers a shipping solution where I dont have to pay extra import taxes.

[5370H55V]

I'm in the same boat with a thermal camera (Uni-t UTi260B) I ordered from Banggood, so it's likely not an issue with Hantek. 
I placed my order while the camera was still in stock with a "ship before" date of 12/13, then over the weekend the listing changes from in stock to preorder, and my ship date got pushed out to 12/26 with no warning. I'd rather not cancel because there was a pretty good discount on it, and I doubt I can get a similar price if I reorder elsewhere...

[Perepandel]

If any of those reasons for the delay you are especulating with are right, then I must have been a very lucky guy. Did I already say that I own two of these machines? I got them nearly one / one month and a half, each in a span of two weeks or so (the timespan between each order). And I got them for two different AliExpress stores, which had even better offers that Bangood had (in fact Bangood didn't have them on sale when I ordered mine). Using the slowest, cheapest (in fact, free shipping) methods, as you know it's the only way to avoid extra freight and charges during the custom clearance process. From China to Spain in about two weeks each.

[upsss]

The regular lowest prices for these scopes on Aliexpress is slightly lower than the lowest regular prices on Banggood (including shipping).  However, you can find online a 15% off coupons for Banggood which makes the Banggood scopes quit cheaper than the Aliexpress scopes.  I paid total of $210 for the DSO2D10 and that includes $18 for shipping and "shipping insurance". 

BTW, the above is true for US orders shipped to the US, I have no idea if any of this applies to orders outside the US.

[superKris]

I ordered mine at € 173,- (approx € 212,-) including shipment to the Netherlands.

It can be found on Aliexpress for the same price, but i will have to pay additional import taxes and fees to the forwarder. These will likely add up to approx 50 to 70,-. Banggood has a system where these taxes and fees can be avoided.

Meanwhile i send another mail and got another generic reply. The customer service of these Chinese companys is horrible.

I'm happy to hear that some other people did receive these. It seems there are no reviews or even stupid unboxing videos of these models. That kinda makes me think none have been delivered yet.

How are you liking yours?

[Fungus]

Will this be the year of the Hantek? 

[4Z1ZV]

Got mine today from Banggood.
Works great, loaded with features.

Will further test and share.

[upsss]

[superKris]

Banggood keeps pushing the date. I dont think they have any idea if and when they can deliver. I just requsted to cancel the order as i do not believe they will ship in the near future.

Due to import taxes Aliexpress is not the best alternative to order from.

I see people on here claiming they already received one, but i'm starting to doubt the availability of this scope and i'm not even sure this scope already exists.

There is not a single crappy youtube movie or forum post of anyone sharing their experience or problems. Its 2020 and its no realistic nobody has anything to share about such a product. I dont think i have ever seen a actual picture of it. Just the sellers adds. I'm not saying its a hoax yet, but there are certainly some issues.
