The Uni-T oscilloscope looks great. I have the Siglent SDS1104X-E 100Mhz and it works nice. I am holding out for new hobby 12 bit 4 channel scopes with FFT and a decoder menu. Also, some scopes have a remote HDMI monitor port for classroom lectures. Anyway, I really enjoy the new oscilloscope reviews. 🤸‍♂ Thank you. This stuff keeps getting better. 🐬

rigol model is 12bit vertical resolution, uni-t is 8bit(almost hidden in docs). More resolution can be life-changing in finding glitches and observing noise. So, no, those models are from different leagues

@KissAnalog

Thanks and yes the Rigol is 12 bits but I think I showed in this video that the Rigol has less memory depth and horizontal resolution that the 12bit might not stand up to all that the Uni-T offers, so yes I agree the Rigol is not in the same league - especially with its poor use of the usable screen.

I'm super glad it's got one of those illegal "warranty void if removed" stickers on it!

I do have some UNI-T gear but recently ended up buying a RIGOL scope before these came out. These are nice options for sure.@@KissAnalog

Wow, I hadn't realized the sample rate in the 900 series is also the same. I was thinking on saving up for the 924S because of 250MHz but I didn't even realize it goes just to 1.25GSa/s. For the same amount of memory depth, at 200Mhz this is pretty decent. I just wish I could buy directly from Uni-T but I can't. My best bet is shipping to a PO box in Texas and traveling there for a weekend or something. AG sells those here but much more expensive, and they don't have this model yet.

Absolutely thrilled to have stumbled upon this insightful video comparison between the Uni-T Oscilloscope UPO1204 and the Rigol DHO814! It's a well-crafted and enlightening piece that not only showcases the UPO1204's superior features but also clearly demonstrates why it stands out as the more favorable choice for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike. The detailed breakdown of top features and the hands-on demonstration are particularly commendable, providing a clear and comprehensive understanding of the UPO1204's advantages. Uni-T's commitment to innovation and quality shines through in this product, making the UPO1204 an unmatched option in its category. Thank you for this valuable review and for highlighting the impressive capabilities of the Uni-T Oscilloscope UPO1204. It's videos like these that make the choice for technicians and engineers much clearer and easier. #UniToscilloscope #UPO1204 #BestOsciloscope #TechInnovation

That's a great Idea. I actually tried to get loaners from Siglent (they never respond) and Rigol (who did say that they would send one - but then went silent). I've been doing videos asking for high vertical bit scopes for some time now. Rigol actually offered to send me one of these 12 bit scopes before it every was released - but then went silent. They have recently contacted me again - but are hard to arrange anything with. Anyway - I am a big proponent of 12 bit scopes. I was going to buy the a 900 series - but I don't want to give up other important features for the 12 bits. My Pico scopes go above 12 bits and so does my Owon - and I raved about these several years ago. But - I think I'll do the comparison that you talk about. I think it would be interesting.

The memory seems to be within amazing specs!!! Anything with less than 25M nowadays shouldn't see the day light. Deep memory nowadays is a must. Doesn't matter the price range.

Thanks Eddie, I'm not so sure I mind dropping down as more channels are introduced. Usually when I really need to see what's going on it's just one channel that I need to dig deep into. Most times when I'm using two or three channels it's for decoding and I just don't need the depth. It's easy enough to shut off a channel to see something in depth on another one. Maybe it's just me. I have the Rigol 924S ,250 Meg as my back up, it's a nice scope, you really need to do a side by side comparison looking at signals and rotating dials.

@KissAnalog

4 ай бұрын

Thank you for your great feedback!! Everyone's work is different - and I often will use a single channel to inspect a signal closely, But, I have to admit - just as often - I am comparing two channels. And, often enough, I have all 4 channels that I am comparing. So Rigol dropping to 1 Mpts - is just not good enough. I want at least over 5 Mpts per channel... Rigol only caters to the big channels. I've heard from others that I am not the only one that they igore emails from. So - I think I might have to give them the middle finger solute;)

Thanks for the comparison. Was at the Embedded World in Nürnberg last year and saw this picoscope competitor called "Acute Technologies" based in Taiwan. Model: TS3124B DSO They're not well known but from interacting with the product and talking with their engineers, it felt like a good product. Would it be possible for you to review their DSO or MSO series may be ? You could ask their Taiwan office and may be they'll send you something for review. Just a possibility, I have no idea if they'll agree to it though. Didn't see anyone make a good review about it till now.

Hi question for I know you like them☺curious what dictates power handling, so if you got an amplifier 100 watts into 8 ohms and it says 75 watts into 4 ohms, and another amplifier might be a 100 watts into 8 ohms but 200 watts into 4 ohms, why is there a difference?? what is causing that different in its impedance power? Is it the size of the transformer even if the one producing 75 Watts has a lot of capacitance, the scope looks nice how much? Do you get paid for these reviews?

@KissAnalog

4 ай бұрын

Thanks for your questions! First - I do not get paid for any review - but I wish that I did;) That's only for the bigger channels. An amplifier really should double in power when the resistance drops in half. The reason they don't can be the power supply is too wimpy and/or the amplifier is to wimpy.

@@KissAnalog what do you mean by amplifier being too wimpy? Are you talking about it's output or current capability? the amplifier in question is 100 Watts at 7 amps are you saying wimpy because the transistors aren't at High Enough current capability? Thanks for the reply I'm sure you'll get paid one day but you get paid in kindness😊

I wonder what's better: 4ch @ 1000Msa/s or 2ch @ 500 Msa/s, if anybody knows. I don't need 4 channels, but if GSamples play not too big role (comparing to a bandwidth or a number of bits), I don't mind to have 4ch for a same price. Unfortunately my experience with digital oscilloscopes is limited.

@KissAnalog

4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the question! I think you want to go with 4 channels. There will be times when you want more than 2 and that will be a bummer to work around. Most scopes will give the minimum Sa/s to meet the Nyquist requirements, but it is the deep memory that is of question. That's what makes a digital scope act or look more like an analog scope.
