Yeah I’m bitching about this aspect of this little scope, but we should have been so lucky to have had something even close to this. It’s all relative I guess Iain. Cheers M8 hope all’s well 👍
Hopefully Fnirsi will get feedback from good folks ( Like you ) buying and using these budget entry level oscilloscopes, and make changes. A novice like me would not catch this, but your experience and teaching skills will be useful for them improving their products. I'm very grateful for your videos and am learning very much from them !! Thank you, Old guy James
Yep, did not expect that, comparing the specs I was expecting the 153 to be far superior to the 152. I purchased the 153 over the 152 believing it to be much better for vehicle diagnostics over the 152. It would seem the Fnirsi have improved some of the specs but in that process have comprised (robbed) the performance of the unit in other areas such as the screen refresh rate
Nice to see that the update was easy and you didn't have to hold the buttons as suggested in the manual. Wonder if there is any improvement other than the locking down of the signal generator to 10k. In v.1.5 you could generate upto 22khz but not calibrated.
I wonder if there's a bug rendering out-of-screen data correctly? Try to get the full waveform on screen by selecting 20 or 50 volts per division. Also there's firmware version 1.6 available if you haven't updated yet. Anyways a bug report to Fnirsi is in order 😄
Still looking for a satisfactory low cost dual channel scope with graphing multimeter! I am in N E Thailand so I think there are low cost options here that have not made it back West. I will research further, and I would also add my thanks for such an interesting channel…
That's a surprise find. Thanks for the test report. I have a DSO153 with firmware version 1.5. FNIRSI has released version 1.6 on their website. Which firmware version is your scope.
V1.5 currently installed. Guess I will consider updating it. Honestly I have never seen updates rectify such fundamentals limitations. Here’s hoping I’m wrong 😁 Thanks for the details & watching 👍🍻
One thing I'm wondering. On the DSO-152 the trigger level will only go up 1 division past the center line when the waveform base is set to the lowest division. Will the DSO-153 trigger level go up higher when the waveform base is on the lowest division?
Its all good if you can read live data from an expensive scanner. Most if not all obd2 scanners cant read fuel injector data. So really this information is useless to most people. JS
@TheGibby3340 It's pretty straightforward TBH. But all good. If you understand about how to read data then it's pretty simple. Im still learning but im getting there👍.
