Rigol DS1000Z series vs old 1052E:<br>
<br>
It's not just cuter, the bigger screen has a much higher
resolution and, low and behold, can actually display information
on that thing ;-) In fact, a lot of information.<br>
You can also show waveform + FFT at the same time *and* actually
recognize something (as an example)<br>
It also has intensity grading, the DS1xxxZ not as fine a
resolution as the 2000 series, but it's already nice.<br>
(it simulates behavior of the phosphor of analog scopes, in that
more frequently hit parts of the screen will be brigher, which
will bring funyn behaviors of your signal to your attention which
might otherwise elude you)<br>
<br>
You ca also store captured waveforms by points instead of by
image, i.e. much more usable for post processing. I have not
really further looked into whether there are tools meanwhle to
read those files other then direct import in their software,
though. Apparently you can communicate with the scope and ask it
for data, not tried out yet. i thik the older Rigol could
partially do this also.<br>
<br>
<br>
Siglent supposedly also improved the quality of their gear, maybe
their current models is more to your linking, I'd look at the
eevblog teardown threads if they exist for that, though, to get
some idea if tghere are problems, I don't know.<br>
Siglent SDS1104X-E would be the contender to Rigol's DS1104Z, I
believe.<br>
<br>
Ah, looky there:<br>

<br>
The user named "rf-loop" seems to strongly prefer the Siglent, and
gives reasons for it.<br>
But it's (was) also more expensive.<br>

(bigger screens) if nothing else. I would want the 100MHz
bandwidth though. I guess my biggest grips is that there is only
1 set of vertical controls, so lots of button pushing required to
change the scale on 2 channels. I'm often pressing buttons to
activate the thing I wish there was a dedicated control for. I
should mention I got rid of my Blofeld for similar reasons. <br>

The Rigol DS1102E was their first one to make noise in the
western market. <br>
It is a completely different design from their current lines,
even the cheaper DS1xxxZ ones. <br>
Can still be bought, for a not much lower price to the DS1??5?Z,
the latter of which has only 50 MHz specs but is better by leaps
and bounds. <br>
So it may be confusing, but that old thing is much, much worse
in all sorts of regards than their current lines - there is zero
reson to buy it, not even the price. <br>
That old DS1102E has problems like it easily tricks you with
aliasing if you don't know about it. I don't know about its user
interface. <br>

Fluke 77 DMM - Had it forever, change the batteries a couple
times a decade maybe. Will outlast me I'm sure. <br>
<br>
Loftech TS-1 Sine Wave Generator and freq counter/dB meter.
Came with schematics so I added a TTL squarewave out to it. <br>
<br>
Mastech CSIMS8040 4.5-Digit True-RMS Autoranging Bench Digital
Multimeter - Cheap and I can check the temperature of my
kitchen oven with it. ;-) Actually I haven't used it yet. <br>
<br>
memSIM2 EPROM Emulator because where can you find such a thing
for USB, isolated, and under $100 USD new? Poland, that's
where. Oh, and eBay. Haven't used that yet either. <br>
<br>
Some old Radio Shack stuff like SPL meters, logic probe,
analog DVM. <br>
<br>
And more stuff at work that I can borrow if needed, like Tek
scopes and an Intronix Logic Port. <br>
