My new Rigol DS1102E, 2ch, 100MHz, 1GSa/s
Trio Dual-Trace Synchroscope CS-1554.
For more than 15 years I have been the happy owner of a 20 MHz Trio Dual-Trace Synchroscope model CS-1554 anno 1972. A complete noob can use it, and i have been pleased with it. It didn’t cost that much (used+old=cheap) and have saved me many timed and served me well. It’s not that it is broke or anything but I wanted a new one with capture.
Note to self: Never ever buy a bitscope again
First I bought a BitScope and a MSIWind. This was NOT a success in any way, not even close, but that’s another story and WAY “off topic”.
Rigol DS1102E 2 Ch, 1 GSa/s, 100 MHz
But today is a fine day. My Rigol DS1102E 100 MHz oscilloscopes has arrived and has been in use for the first time.
Both the build quality and packing alone shows that this is not your ordinary Hong Kong product. This is a professional product to a fraction of the price. So how much is it, you may ask. Only $799 here
I must say that I am very pleased with it.
EDIT: It didn’t take long to get used to, I now use it is as easy as my old one and I am SO pleased with the long mem capture function!
I have exactly same experience, Blame myself for bitscope and looking for rigol right now
Hi Therian
I do recommend the rigol. But don’t buy the 1102 with the LSA as the pod has a very fatal design fault. Search the RC groups to find out more.
I have the one without and i am still very pleased.
About the BitScope… It took me 20 phone calls and more than 50 emails to get my money back. I almost gave up..In the end, i got my money but I will never ever recommend them in any way. There scope is slow and the software is extremly bad. They also sold me a preproduction units and didn’t deliver the promised goods and features.
NOTE TO SELF: NEVER EVER BUY A PC BASED SCOPE (from bitscope)
