Title: Rigol O-scope?
Post by: Bio77 on February 19, 2020, 11:08:15 PM

Anybody have an opinion about Rigol DS1102E O-scope? I've had an old Techtronix 2235 for awhile now but last weekend it decided to catch on fire! No joke, lots of smoke :o

I'm looking on Offer-up and CL for something similar. There's a few oldies on the cheap side, but I'm wondering if a newer digital would be better. There's one used I'm looking at for slightly more than a used analog.

I've got a Rigol DS1052E, and it's done me pretty well.

One nice thing about digital o'scopes, you can save snapshots of the display to a USB drive :)

They are good scopes for the most part. I've had a DS1052E for 4-5 years now and it has served me well.

I got myself a DS1054z for Christmas to use alongside ( and replace for the most part) my Tek TAS485. I love it so far, especially for the price! I'd recommend it to anyone.

Keep an eye on tequipment.net. They have great "open box" deals and sales often. I bought my scope "open box" during a sale and it showed up still sealed with Rigol tape in the packaging, $263 total.
