New Oscilloscope Day!

[jubal81]

Finally bit the bullet and got a 4-channel scope - Rigol DS1054DZ. Lots of praise for a lower-end scope.

Want!


Wouldn't know where to start....


But still want...

Sweet. That's a well-regarded unit. Are you going to put the hacks on it? Not that you'd need the higher speeds for pedal building.

Woo!  Looks hot, congrats

[gtr2]

Cool!
I have a rigol 2 channel, its a great scope for the price.  My only issue is the menu navigation is not user intuitive

Yeah, I'd be lost too. I just picked up a little hobbyist scope from Bean and I don't even know how to use that little guy yet. This one looks like serious business.

There should be plenty of YouTube videos to show you. Once you get used to it you'll wonder how you ever made do without one.

Awesome! Looks like your building up your bench.

I can't take credit for the fresh flowers ...


Getting a bit acquainted. Having multiple channels is very nice. Managed to take a look at two different points of an LFO project I'm tinkering with. Yellow line is from the depth pot and the blue line is what's on the pin. Very nice to be able to just see the amplitude and frequency of each displayed right on the screen.

I'm sure I will. Need to look that up. Gonna take me a while to get a handle on all the features.

After using one for troubleshooting anything with a LFO or clock signal, you'll curse the years you spent poking around with just a multimeter.

ya having a scope around is a huge deal, you can see and learn so much

Function generator showed up yesterday. woot. Playing with 1K sine wave and some diodes and I can see why I love the 385Bz. It's the yellow trace. The two blues are Germanium and Si.

Nice!  You're making me want to play with my scope, I almost never use it.
Can you do screenshots to USB?  Having 4 channels is pretty cool

It's got USB connection, but I haven't plugged it in yet.
