About this deal

Early testing indicates that its overall performance isn’t quite to Tek standard but it is good and the feature-set is remarkable – so it may get more use than I originally thought. As for the scope, you’ve heard it all already: it’s remarkable value for money, light-years ahead of the old analogue scopes I learnt on, relatively easy to use despite an extensive set of features. And the fan isn’t nearly as loud as I’d been led to believe. The only problem I have found so far: you can’t easily turn off measurement functions once turned on. (fixable in principle by a firmware update – should be “push for on, push for off”) I haven’t had much chance to use it for projects, but playing around with it for the past few days it’s a well built device with all the features you could ask for at this price range. Well worth it if you do any electronics work.

Delivered next day as promised. The scope had all the additional features preloaded, no codes to enter.Multi-function knob too sensitive – difficult to press to select without rotating enough to change selection. In its price range there is nothing that can touch it; this scope puts some higher end scopes I’ve used to shame with what it can do for its price. The Siglent SDS1204 has the exact same problem, it has about 280Mhz measured bandwidth and sample rate can drop to 500Mhz with all channels on - not enough to garantee the conditions required by signal theory. This work was inspired by the efforts of [cibomahto], who spent some time controlling the Rigol with Linux and Python. This work will plot whatever is being captured by the scope in a window, in Linux, but sometimes you just need a screencap of whatever is on the scope; that’s why there were weird Polaroid adapters for HP scopes in the day.

Boot time 20 seconds, self calibration 25min . Probe calibration 5 mins, so up and running in 30mins. USB-GPIB Converter. Connect USB directly to instrument and control it via GPIB. This does not connect to a PC directly. I bought a DS1054z a couple months ago and they are all enabled by default. Perhaps folks were referring to 2019-vintage units or maybe second hand? Build quality appears to be good with everything having a ‘solid feel’. Built-in help function is very useful. note: Nowhere is it written what "sin(x)/x turned off" should be, it's undefined, it's an error condition...)Value, Middle Value, Lower Value, Average, Vrms, Overshoot, Pre-shoot, Area, Period Area, Period Vrms, DS1000Z-E Datasheet & Specs (Spanish) DS1000Z-E Datasheet & Specs DS1000Z DataSheet & Specs (Spanish) DS1000Z DataSheet & Specs Compare Rigol Product Feature Full advanced version of UltraStation wave generation software for DG1000Z, DG4000, DG5000 Series generators as well as DS1000Z and DS2000A "-S" embedded generators. This is a software upgrade license. The DS1054Z itself is a great piece of kit. It’s light, compact and performs beyond what I need it to do. It’s easy to use and a great addition to my steadily growing collection of hobbyist kit. Tired of squinting at the small numbers on the oscilloscope display, [Alfred] aka [Gaze@] decided to take matters into his own hands and wrote yet another tool to remotely view images from a Rigol DS1054Z. At least that was the initial idea. But, it grew unexpectedly — as [Alfred] says, “the more the project turned out to be fun, the more it got out of hand”. We know the feeling well.

This is a great 4 channel DSO for the price. The only things that could be implemented better are the multifunction rotary encoder and the noisy fan. The encoder jumps to the next setting when pushing it to select the option. I suppose it is just very sensitive and I will have to get used to it with my ham fists. The fan can be replaced easily. The service offered by Telonic was great and the DSO was delivered next day before 12:00 free of charge. permanently on the rleft hand side of the screen is definitely useful. The controls can be a bit fiddly but From there, it’s basically looking at datasheets and drawing a schematic of the circuit; inputs go at the left, outputs at the right, ground is at the bottom, and positive rails are at the top. It’s harder than it sounds – most of [Dave]’s expertise in this area is just pattern recognition. It’s one thing to reverse engineer a circuit through brute force, but knowing the why and how of how the circuit works makes things much easier.I needed a scope for the basic analysis of signals. I was going to get a 2-channel scope from a named manufacturer but realised I could really do with 3 channels. So I Googled 4-channel scopes and the Rigol came up. All in all, awesome service, polite and very helpful staff, and I am not the easiest customer to satisfy. A job well done Telonic. As [Alfred] notes, there are many other tools available to fetch data and images from your Rigol oscilloscope. [Jenny List] wrote a two-part series on using Python to control your test instruments, and here’s an example of a simple Python script that does a screen grab. Do you have a favorite way to remotely operate your oscilloscope? Let us know in the comments below.
