Thanks for the review! I actually would not have minded you doing a teardown as well. Quite frankly, Dave's teardowns leave a lot to be desired sometimes ("Some sort of chip, couldn't find any datasheet, your guess is as good as mine" on a SOC with the datasheet being the second hit on google, that sorta thing...) This is less to poo-poo on EEVblog, rather my point is: Don't be afraid of doing something that someone else did too. There's room for more than one teardown on the internet ;)
This is a Very impressive Oscilloscope by it's new features alone, and it being able to display Lissajous correctly is extremely impressive! Thanks for reviewing!
I have a big scope in my lab, but I got one of these for the Ham Shack to keep an eye on RF waveforms. It's fantastic for that simple job. Works great!
I bought a fnirsi dmm scope combo and have been happy with it. I was able to debug the video section of the replica Ohio Scientific superboard computer I've been working on. I also got their usb powered soldering iron and have made it my go-to because it is so nice.
Yes it's one of those where all the banner specs only count when a single channel is labelled, but on the plus side for a chinese o'scope it doesn't seem to be plain lying about them for once (sooo many in the past...) Generator would be a tiny bit nicer if you could at least adjustably-decrease the amplitude of it to some degree. I bought one earlier, it's a pity, after a month or two or sale they figured they could make much friendlier (to press) buttons and changed the look. For the size though, and without having to spend Rigol money yet, it's pretty good.
I see the specs and want to get one but Fnirsi has burned me twice before. Its expensive in my part of the world because they aren't sold locally and both times their products have either died suddenly or over promised and not lived up to specs.
There appears to be a slightly different version of this with the same model number. Costs a little more. Perhaps it's updated. Casing logo and buttons look a little different
I recently purchased a QMX transceiver kit from QRP Labs and after assembly everything works EXCEPT I am getting zero power output on transmit. Would this scope be sufficient to do some signal tracing / troubleshooting? I realize I can't connect it directly to the PA output or I will blow it up, but I think there are some examples out there on how to create a sampling circuit.
get a logic analyzer instead ! this product wont do these because it doesn't have a built-in logic analyzer it may show i2c signals because it uses 2 wires but spi uses 4 wires
the problem that they tend to lie about the specs of their devices , the finrsi 1013d says it has 100 mhz bandwidth while in the real world it is only 30 !
A bandwidth of 30 factorial = 2*10^32 Hz is >1000 faster than the highest Gama ray that has been observed, tat is much better than 100 milli Hz= 0.1 Hz. If that is true then it is probably a world record in understating specifications. 😂
Sigh. I spent a month on and off looking for an inexpensive handheld scope that was the real deal. I finally selected one and purchased it a couple of months ago. It does everything it said it would do, but it was $70 more than this one and won't do as much as this. Sigh. But it seems like that's going to be the case for sometime to come with handheld scopes. They get better and better and cheaper and cheaper by the month. That's a good problem to have. I guess I'll just get myself a new one for my birthday every year and give my old one to some kid who I'm Elmering who's interested in doing more than just DXing.
did you get the hantek dso2c10? actually it is still better than this fnirsi usually lies about their specs + a bench oscilloscope in most cases is better than a hand held one especially from this company
Eh while it seems to be technically decent I can't help but notice it sounds like very cheap plastic when you move it about. I'm not sure what market segments it's targeting, it's not really rugged enough for automotive use and it's rather lacking for bench use considering you can get a 200MHz 2ch Siglent scope for a bit less than 3x the price, it doesn't seem good value to me.
