Hope that Fnirsi takes notes !! if they want us viewers to buy their meters thet better make the changes as suggested as that are the things we desperately need !!!

Im looking to get this scope, so glad to see a review of it..😊

Thanks for the honest and fair assessment

Good colour and response 👍

thanks for the review! looks like Ill go a different route

I'd been really looking forward to seeing this review, since we got a glimpse of the machine on the live stream, as I'd been considering an oscilloscope as a next addition to my tools collection and the next skill to learn about. But I now feel rather disappointed that this scope, although maybe ok to learn with and use for some basic work, it is generally lacking all round. Great value maybe, but I wonder if I should just save up for a better machine 🤔 Thanks for the review and all the comments from others about alternative machines to look at. Very helpful overall.

Yes for diode short beep! I switch multimeter just for this function while I fault search. The different frequency for Schottky is a brilliant idea!

Reading capacitors of below a few 10's of pF is hard when using long leads. Try removing the leads. If the meter still shows any residual capacitance, then press the "save" button to put the meter in relative mode. This should zero the meter. Then insert the capacitor into the sockets on the meter. If the leads aren't long enough, then try insertring bare banana plugs without insulation & place capacitor across them.

By the sound of it, it's probably not bad for the price.

Hi Richard, just a thought regarding the glare you sometimes get on the meter displays. Have you tried a polarising filter on the camera?

@12:20 The display isn't showing "minus point zero zero 5", it's showing -5uA with 3 leading zeros. So, for example, if the last digit moves from -6 to -4 then it's drawing 2uA. Having said that, the meter does seem to jump around a bit as you move the leads.

I think he needs a firmware update , i have the DSO152 and the DSO-TC2 and both needed . Great revue Richard , Happy new year .

There is a firmware update. Can you download it and test if they fixed the unstable 2nd waveform on the scope?

I'll try it on the next livestream @TheElectronicsChannel which will be on Sunday 13th Jan 5pm GMT, that's the best place to test out suggestions like this one 🙂

hi. do you think an atenuator like hantek's 20:1 would fit into that body? looks like small area around the bnc connector

Richard, you are doing it again, saying "pica" rather than "pico" farrads! 😉

Greeting. I don't want to be rude, but there are a lot of mistakes in the evaluation, especially at the end of the video where you persistently use channel 1 on the oscilloscope while your trigger is set to channel 2!!! With all those cheaper devices, the rule is that if a signal is measured, it should be done with only one active channel. It might not be a bad idea to use the device first and study it well before recording a video about it. Just so that viewers and patrons are not misled.

Hiya Richard, Great honest review, could the inconsistency of this product confuse a beginner? You are seasoned campaigner and can spot problems a mile off whereas a beginner may put it down to user error? Many thanks for putting the effort in and high lighting the pros and cons.

To be honest Tony, if I had this when I was learning electronics as a beginner I would have thought it the best thing since sliced bread. It's not expensive and I believe it it's a useful enough tool for anyone learning electronics on a budget.

is it fast enough for testing if a bios chip is talking with the rest of the motherboard?thats what i mostly want from an osciloscope.

Hi Richard.. 🤗 A good small tool for this money👍. But, the quality about the funktion generator and dso are under base level. Eventuelly a firmware update helps. A all in one , a good tool for allrounder and beginner.

That's what I thought, if I had anything like this when I was learning electronics I would have thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. So a useful enough tool for anyone wanting to learn electronics on a budget but I couldn't recommend it for more demanding applications

@@LearnElectronicsRepair when i was in education (omg it is a long time ago😢),my first Meter was an metex 3650 😍🥰 and a Hameg 60Mhz🥰😍 oszilloscope. 4 years i paid for the hameg . Other Tools are diy and so on. You had to have some knowledge of the measuring devices, especially the oscillograms. Now, all Tools are voodo or magic , i miss a little bit the old time 😢 but today it isn't so bad👍🥳🍻. Many people here must learn the basics that they haven't . For this reason I really enjoy watching your videos because they remind me of the old days😍🥰🥳🍻 Thanks👍👍👍(ohh goodness is my english old 🤣🤣)

Do these probes need to be individually calibrated maybe, weird fault.

FNIRSI often lies about the sample rate. I'd like to know which ADC chip (or max rate of the internal ADC in case of cheap models that only use MCU) they used and the actual maximum sample rate of that chip.

use clip leads i think it was reading you as capacitance Richard !!!

Interestingly my capacitance meter could read the 12pF capacitor and I held the probes the same way...

@@LearnElectronicsRepair but the capacitance meter emits a 1KHZ signal and the other meter does not usually and is why the capacitance meter can read it faster as well

that red meter did not hear any bleep !!

looks the same as you had about a week ago LOL when it comes with design and looks they are consistent with that lol

It's 62€ on banggood, but saying that im VIP level 5 on there.

my multimeter not working (just stay on auto mode) :(

I think he was only touching one lead so shouldn't make a difference, but it was Avery low capacitance. Yes, please get some clip leads.

I was considering this to replace my zotek zt702s because it's 2 channels. Now that zotek has released the zt703s there is just no point in considering the Fnirsi.

the zt702 is an amazing piece of kit, even if you deicide to buy something else don't replace the zotek. I bought one of these fnirsi because it was less than £60 delivered, may be a future firmware update will improve it. Even if I could justify the expense of an Owon HDS2202 I would still keep the ZT702s, I really love it.

The zotek zt703s is even better than the zt702s.

Heya, very nice review. don't like these all in 1 meters. there is to much in 1 and there for it's not as precise so it's more guessing then knowing

Fnirsi is simply a toy... They arn't known for reliability and most fnirsi products are clones of other, more high end chinese products. You can never go wrong investing in a decent bench or handheld multimeter. Great vid though!

It is nothing wrong to compare device targeted to hobbyst with profesional 5 times more expensive fluke. It is wrong to complain that device for hobbyst is not a fluke.
