Just ordered the DHO814 Qty:1 $499.00 direct.

Looks like a pretty cool value unit.

 

Very limiting memory depth will all channels active might be a concern for some.

No doubt a concern but I'm willing to take a chance at the price point.

 

Congratulations @nsaspook !

Believing that an oscilloscope at this price point will not have compromises is very naïve - the price and its overall performance is what makes this product attractive. Hopefully they honed the SW issues before this initial release (I admit their track record is not stellar in this, but there's hoping).

If it succeeds, Rigol will once again set the tone for the upcoming years in the entry level oscilloscope market - Siglent will have to work very hard to catch up.

 

At work I use scopes where a probe costs more than your new scope.

At home I have $500 used scopes that have worse specs. My scopes have slower sampling rate and less memory and less bits. As much as I like HP/Agilent/Keysight and Tektronix, this is a good choice for 500.

 

Still waiting for my pre-order to arrive next month.

 

NICE! ... I've always wanted a four channel scope ... although 100 MHz is on the low side of the performance I'd like to have. Then again, $500 bucks is very much worth the risk, especially for a RIGOL.

 

Enjoy! I got my Siglent 2104X+ 4ch 8 or 10 bit 100MHz a year ago for slightly less (before tax) with the 50MHz built in AWG plus it does neat things like Bode plots. Only thing I wish it would have is a higher peak to peak output on its AWG. But I also have their 30MHz bench AWG that does 20Vpp and there are signal amplifiers if needed. Not doing anything that needs more than 30MHz but it can always be upgraded (or hacked). The Siglent does have the ability to do 16 channel logic IF you buy their wiring harness and Upgrade the firmware for it. Maybe one of these days... Much nicer than my starter Siglent SDS 1102CML+ 100MHz 2ch scope except that the last firmware upgrade for it magically turned it into an 1152CML+ 150MHz scope. Update us when it comes in with a report on it.

Dave can be a little entertaining, but I find some of his assessments, although they can be amusing, are little bit too thick on the theatrics and not enough on the facts for me.

Keep in mind that first and foremost, he's a salesman. And a good one at that.

All inbuilt AWG's offer only limited amplitude yet X Plus AWG does have the 50 MHz claim to fame.

Correct, SDG1032X can be convinced to become SDG1062X and few in this class can match either models risetime.

There are DIY LA probe options for X Plus and as they are a passive probe assembly connecting into a PCI-e socket, none of the LA assembly is proprietary however the 10 way flat ribbon coax is very difficult to find.
As for the LA licensing, you have 30 trial uses after which this is also hackable. Search online for a Python script which creates unofficial official license codes. < Yes you read that right.

True but he's no fly by night BS video guy, his opinions hold sway on test equipment because he's paid the dues of being around for a while and has the equipment and expertise to back it up.

I cringe at biases, real or manufactured. His butt is hanging out there for all to see, it's easy to criticize..

 

The VESA mount blocks some of the air-flow so I fixed that later with longer screws and plastic standoffs.

First boot with all the inputs and probes for testing.

A mess of probes for two scopes.


Spacers added to the VESA mount to improve air-flow.

External HDMI monitor display.

Looks very good.
1 All interrupt triggers toggle the gpio pin.
2. Main processing run is high logic level. Every super-loop iteration sets the gpio pin low on exit and back high when it starts at the beginning.
3 and 4 are I/O signals.
Looking for program bottlenecks caused by interrupts or mainline programming from variations (gaps and changes in toggle densities) in the traces.


Everything works but there are some GUI and function quirks normally seen with 1.0 firmware. It's too early to really evaluate total functionality but I'm happy with it so far.

Showoff!

 

Showoff!

That's the point of a user review.

 

It decodes the FM80 oddball 9 bit serial correctly (the SDS 1202X-E doesn't have a 9 bit decode option) but has no CANBUS decode, yet (I hope).

 

Did the scope come with VESA mount points or did you modify the scope for it?
