Mini scope recommendations

colporteur

Can you provide a recommendation and/or share your experience with mini oscilloscopes?

 

I am looking to purchase a scope for bench testing. My budget is $500 Canadian. I just reviewed an ad for Mini DS213. The price to features ratio seemed reasonable. I did some reading a while back on the Bitscope Micro for the Pi. I dabble in the Pi's so that had some appeal.

 

I hoping to top the experience and insight from the group could better improve my purchase focus. Any suggestions?

  • Can you give us an idea of the kind of things you would use the scope for.

     

    In your price range you could get a Rigol DS1054Z, which is a complete 50MHz 2 channel scope and very popular

    You could just about get a Pico 2045A which will give you 4 channels at 25Mhz bandwidth.

    The MicSig TO1000 series look OK but the manufacturer is new (to UK at least) so make sure to get some reviews you trust before considering.

     

    I would advise you to stick with something popular from a well known scope manufacturer - more likely to work properly, some resale value if needed.

     

    I can't narrow down at all without knowing what you will do with it.

    If I didn't have any scopes, Rigol would definitely be on the very short list.
