Hi,

Product link
It's difficult to find much information about this product. At €326 that's kind of expensive for a cable. Maybe it's a very intelligent cable that integrates with supported scopes somehow.
Some people have made clones with a BOM cost of ~€50 or less. Maybe those are not so smart and do not integrate with whatever scope features. Or maybe they get you 99% of what the official probe gets you.

I'm mulling over getting a new scope. DHO814 100MHz €478, DHO914S 125 MHz €700, DHO924S 250 MHz €827. Only the 9X4S support the logic probe. DHO0924S + PLA2216 = €1153. That is too much for me. If going for the el cheapo clone is a waist of scope capabilities then maybe I should go for the much cheaper DHO814.

Going more towards MCU things in the future I can see how such a probe might be useful.

What are your thoughts on this?

That page lists four products, which one are you asking about? Also the downloadable PDF docs are in Chinese! I have Siglent scopes and use this for digital

I'm a hobbyist but find Siglent to be excellent, almost all my kit is Siglent.

 

I too have all Siglent kit, but the 1016 logic add-on is just stupidly expensive IMHO.

For logic analysis I found this to be really quite useful, though it has limited triggering options, but for the price you can't beat it.

That Siglent probe is about the same price as the Rigol one. Expensive indeed. So a cheap clone might have limited triggering options.

Meanwhile I've read that you can hack a DHO804 to 200MHz and that you can hack in a logic probe port. Though the latter is not something I look forward to.

Yes, the logic analyzer package is a silly price. Also the Siglent unit uses a cable that looks just like an HDMI cable but if you use an actual HDMI cable it doesn't work, weird.

Also it cost 335 dollars from Amazon, when I bought it in 2022.

Yes, they used an HDMI connector but its not HDMI signalling on there, its something proprietary and no one seems to have done a teardown of the 1016 yet. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a medium- to high-level spec FPGA in there and not much else!

Current UK price around 330GBP inc taxes.

My Siglent SDS1104X-E 100MHz 'scope is hacked to 200MHz though I've only got one 200MHz probe!
