Siglent Technologies SDS1104X-E 100Mhz Digital Oscilloscope 4 Channels Standard Decoder, Grey

I think there are enough positives to recommend this scope over the 1054Z offering from Rigol to make the extra cost worth it. The user interface on this scope is responsive and clean vs sluggish response to input on the Rigols. The signal grid offers 14 divisions instead of 12. Menu headings do not overlay waveform view area. The sample rate at 4 channels is okay for a 100Mhz scope and mediocre for a 200Mhz scope. However, dual ADC's make it possible to get 2 channels at 1Gs/sec and that is pretty good. This is much better than the Rigol 1000Z series' single ADC that drops to 500Ms/sec at 2 channels and 250Ms/sec at 4 channels. The probes are decent but not anything special. Keep an eye on the 1X/10X switch which is easy to shift accidentally. Sometimes the hook catches on the hat instead of fully clamping on the lead so be careful to insure a good connection is actually made. The cables are slim and flexible which is nice. Unlike Rigol the remote access features of this scope are really useful. The built-in webserver updates quickly and allows you to view signals full screen on a PC at an update rate that actually makes using it worthwhile. A LAN connection is included and very simple to setup. I was able to use my laptop to control the scope in about 45 seconds of setup. The signal noise levels are pretty mild on the inputs letting me see some low voltage signals within reason. It is possible to add MSO capability later on, but the integration is not that good compared to the Rigol MSO1000Z scopes. Still it's an option that one simply can not add to a Rigol DS1054Z even with hacking. So far I am very pleased with this scope and would have no problem recommending it to hobby users or others that need a low cost 4 channel scope.

Probably the best value in oscilloscopes on the market. Comes with all the serial decodes unlocked (can't do some of the more uncommon ones, but the average hobbyist probably won't encounter them anyway). It's 500Msps with 4 channels on, so that's fine for the 100Mhz bandwidth (sin(x)/x interpolation wants the sample rate to be at least 5x the BW). The 1 Gsps is only achieved with 2 channels on (and they can't be 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, they have to be 1 of the left 2 channels and 1 of the right 2 channels). It's basically 2x the sample rate of the closest competitor, the Rigol DS1054Z, with no hacking to get the features most people want. Memory depth is great, even handily beats out the Keysight 3000x scopes at work. The UI is simple and modern. No complaints there. It feels just as nice as the Keysight scopes I use at work. Ethernet works well and is a nice feature at this price point. Many other scopes charge more for that feature than this scope costs. Wouldn't recommend the digital - the reports say since the circuitry for that is in an external box it can't do some of the things other MSO scopes can do. Not a detractor - I'd hardly expect any sort of digital channels in this price range. The optional WiFi (license key required) uses the TP-Link TL-WN725N. That's even Siglent's model number for it, so you can save a few dollars and buy it on Amazon. Minor nitpick - you can't use a USB mouse or keyboard to enter info, like you can on the SDS2000X Plus series. Since it's a Linux OS underneath, should be simple enough for the firmware to do that. Maybe a future firmware update. Overall great scope - feels like a professional level scope but at a price a hobbyist can afford.

Very nice scope has alot of features

Love it. Inexpensive for a whole lot of measurement and convenient features. Do look up website for details like FFT and decoding signals. FFT is extremely useful. Overall: It's a highly streamlined and optimised scope in an inexpensive package. Caution: If you want a Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) with a Built-in AWG, this model becomes less appealing with limitation of 1GSa/s. It's value is great as a basic scope but decreases as we add more options. Screen is beautiful with good contrast. Adjustable brightness and transparency (for background to display expanded waveform info). 4 Pay Options: 200MHz Bandwidth (if originally 100MHz), AWG, MSO and WiFi. AWG and MSO features require respective (optional) accessory components. The 3rd pay feature is for the WiFi, which also requires the TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi dongle. WiFi is extremely useful for using a NTP Server (Google's NTP: 216.239.35.0) to sync time and date automatically. Without network connectivity, date-time stamp reverts back to 1970. No internal clock on battery. With a browser, by typing in the scope's IP address (to access its built-in webserver), we can access the scope and screen on the notebook, PC and Mobile device. Convenient! Firmware and OS are well maintained. No bugs or issues were detected so far on my part. The fan can feel a tad louder due to close working proximity. Limit at Max. 200MHz bandwidth, 1GSa/s per ADC. 2 channels share an ADC. Bode plot uses 2 channels from the same ADC. When both channels are being used it's 500MSa/s. If needs anything more, buy a higher spec. scope. Look out for promotions around Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon Prime Day.

Going from entry/mid level Tek scopes at work to this Siglent at home i'm more than pleased with the features. For the price, it really is hard to beat for hobby work. I have noticed the display save to png/jpg appears pretty fairly aliased but performing capture from the web interface is much more sharp. Serial and i2c decode work well, have yet to try SPI. Small signals trigger well and stable (audio and up to 75 mhz LO/IF freqs as low as 10 mV tested). I haven't gotten the logic probe or AWG options yet so can't comment on those. Good scope for cost.

Received it well packed and with all the components mentioned. It is just perfect if you deep interest in electronics. Writing the review after an year of heavy usage. Biggest advantage, it has got 4 channels all with good bandwidth and sampling. Also got fft and and all other in built functions. Good user interface and pretty sturdy built. Has more than you can ask as a hobbiest or deep learner. Worth buying.

Was cheapest on Amazon. Great scope no real niggles. Scope probes are free extras and not good. Separate controls for each channel would be nice not not much of an issue.

Absolutes TOP Gerät auch für den Profieinsatz. Durch den Ethernetport klasse. Leider verliert das Gerät bei jedem ausschalten immer die Uhrzeit..

exelente osciloscopio total mente nuevo todo enpaquetado.vendedor muy recomendable y amazon muy rapido en los envios , gracias

L'oscilloscopio si presenta veramente bene, ottima costruzione da senso di solidità. Fantastico il monitor LCD dove si possono regolare sia l'intensita della griglia che l'intensità della traccia cosa molto utile in fase di valutazione dell'onda misurata. Ho preso anche il rigol 1054 e devo dire che questo è superiore. In primis per il doppio ADC percui sample rate sempre maggiori rispetto al rigol, ma sopprattutto per la qualità di visualizzazione. La porzione di schermo adibita alla visualizzazione dell'onda è più grande di ben due divisioni, questo comporta una migliore analisi dei dati. Il rigol ha le funzioni sempre presenti sul display e questo comporta una riduzione della porzione visibile. Qualcuno dirà che avere le funzioni sui lati come sul rigol è un vantaggio per quanto riguarda l'immediatezza di accesso, io personalmente preferisco avere un display più libero e più visibilità. Per la differenza di prezzo (circa 120 Euro) io consiglio il siglent, sensibilmente più veloce in tutto, migliore sample rate , migliore display lcd sia a livello di luminosità che di contrasto, 100MHz di banda vs 50MHz del Rigol. In conclusione posso dire che tutti e due vanno incredibilmente bene per quello che costano, ma io mi sento di consigliare la spesa maggiore anche per tutta una serie di funzioni aggiuntive che ha il siglent. Poi vedete voi.
