Rigol DS1202Z-E Digital Oscilloscope 200Mhz Bandwidth,2 Channels,1GSa/s Sampling Rate,24Mpts Memory Depth

The RIGOL DS1000Z-E Series is an absolute gem for anyone who needs a reliable, feature-packed oscilloscope. The 7-inch display is bright and clear, making it easy to analyze waveforms, and the UltraVision technology is a game-changer. The deep memory depth and real-time waveform recording let me dig into the details without missing a beat.It’s packed with features you’d expect from higher-priced models, like multiple trigger types, FFT functions, and even waveform playback. The controls are intuitive, and I had no trouble getting it set up and running. For the price, this scope is an unbeatable deal—I’d recommend it to hobbyists and professionals alike!

This scope will do more than what most people in Electronics will ever need to do. It is compact, well made, well designed, and is fast enough (you need atleast 2GS/s) for virtually any electronics or embedded design project. Can't say enough good things about Rigol. It sits proudly next to my Tektronix scope. I've also bought these for people whom I help to learn electronics.

I was very impressed with the Rigol DS1202Z-E oscilloscope. It's well worth the price. All the buttons and knobs seem to be of good quality and the display is bright and sharp. I bought one for my grandson and another one for me. It is so much smaller with more features than than my 35 year old Tectonics 2247A oscilloscope.

For $300? That's ridiculous. This is comparable to one of those Tek lunchboxes.It's substantial, had more heft to it than I expected. Industrial design is pretty nice. The fan was audible even at first turn on. Almost like something was rubbing, but not that bad. Shake it and it goes away and then comes back when you shift the position around. I'm not concerned.The probes are pretty nice. Shrouded BNCs, nice pointy tips, decent lead length. These also feel substantial and good quality.The screen is spacious. I was kind of shocked when I took it out of the box. Some things are pretty small, like the vertical scale, but still legible. What's important is the capture is huge and bright. Brightness is set to 60% by default and that seems maybe a little too much. There's menus on either side of the trace, they never go away, but it doesn't feel cramped at all.I see in here where people had trouble with operation. Did not have that problem in the slightest. The knobs are not marked very well but duh. I had it mastered in ten minutes. There's some stuff that is less than intuitive, for instance changing variables in the menus when there's more than one. The UI logic seems pretty sound. Previous menu is always selected next, vertical control closes open menus (with selected variables), single automatically lights stop, stuff like that. Storage is easy, so many maths, saves to png, types A and B and an RJ45. There's all kinds of stuff I'm never going to use. I'm never connecting this to a network. It's in my garage. So I will likely never press the print button. Will I ever use a delayed trigger? Not likely either, I'm troubleshooting audio equipment.I didn't rate the accuracy because I lack a standard. I guess I could compare it to my old Fluke 87 III that hasn't been calibrated in two decades. Or maybe not. I just want to get to probing things. Is that so wrong?

I have been using $5000+ Tektonix scopes for years. Two weeks ago, I bit the bullet, and bought this one for a mere $300 to see if I can use it as a personal scope at home. I was blown away by its features and its ease of use. This is not a toy or flimsy device, but a well built scope. During the design phase, the manufacturer must have studied Tektronix scopes because they are sort of similar. The only two things I think need improvement are (1) the zero volt level for each channel on the side of the screen lags quite a bit compared to the up/down knob that moves the level, (2) the screen needs a protector of some sort after use. Other than that it is a great scope.
