Pocket O'Scope
|
I haven't personally, but it seems like a fairly interesting bit of kit for first glance, it's too late and I'm too tired to make a better comment.

Anyone who read one of my posts is aware I know close to nix in electronics, yet, while I'm at it, I'm asking the question: what are oscilloscopes for?
|
Ceedy,
Looks neat but the 1 MHZ bandwidth is a bit limiting. Looks like 1 channel only which is also limiting. It has many measurements built in and a reasonable sample depth. I would recommend a 2 channel scope with at least 10 MHz bandwidth as a minimum, then you can compare input/output waveforms and measure video signals. Maplin sell some 'Personal' oscilloscope for £100 or less. These are single channel but have at least 10 MHz bandwidth. Eamoe, Take a look at this oscilloscope primer from Agilent. http://cp.literature.agilent.com/lit...989-8064EN.pdf The choice of oscilloscope is a fiddly one. The more you pay, the better equipment you get but how often will you use it to justify the cost? You can by used scopes cheaply but they are likely to be the CRT type that has none of the LCD readout features. Ian |

Thanks Wasn't looking to buy one... Thought this one was probably not quite there .. you do get what you pay for!! I think these lil un's will allow you to save a previous waveform as a background and allow some sort of limited comparing. But I haven't had the need of one since I made a weeny one from one of the Berni babani books . and even that one was probably not much better than these . if at all .;) yup I'm that old !! :D Chris |

1MHz is absolutely useless (as is 10 IMO).
For anyone wanting a relatively low-cost scope I very highly recommend the Rigol DS1052E. I have one and am very happy with it, it has a colour LCD, 50mhz bandwidth and 2 channels. Agilent actually rebadge this model and resell it as their low-end scope which says a lot. They can even be upgraded to 100mhz by changing a couple of bytes in the firmware! :laughing |
@ pandy71
@ Stedy :bowdown A picture of voltage in time. Could this do the job of both a multimeter and a logic probe, for instance? What would be the difference in the pictures of a waveform, of which one would be taken before and the other after some component -- say, a resistor for instance? Sorry for getting off topic... |

Btw if You have more than 1 channel on scope then You can see Y values before and after component at the same moment on screen. |
Thanks, very interesting indeed! :)
