Siglent Technologies SDS1104X-E 100Mhz Digital Oscilloscope 4 Channels Standard Decoder, Grey

Probably the best value in oscilloscopes on the market. Comes with all the serial decodes unlocked (can't do some of the more uncommon ones, but the average hobbyist probably won't encounter them anyway). It's 500Msps with 4 channels on, so that's fine for the 100Mhz bandwidth (sin(x)/x interpolation wants the sample rate to be at least 5x the BW). The 1 Gsps is only achieved with 2 channels on (and they can't be 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, they have to be 1 of the left 2 channels and 1 of the right 2 channels). It's basically 2x the sample rate of the closest competitor, the Rigol DS1054Z, with no hacking to get the features most people want. Memory depth is great, even handily beats out the Keysight 3000x scopes at work. The UI is simple and modern. No complaints there. It feels just as nice as the Keysight scopes I use at work. Ethernet works well and is a nice feature at this price point. Many other scopes charge more for that feature than this scope costs. Wouldn't recommend the digital - the reports say since the circuitry for that is in an external box it can't do some of the things other MSO scopes can do. Not a detractor - I'd hardly expect any sort of digital channels in this price range. The optional WiFi (license key required) uses the TP-Link TL-WN725N. That's even Siglent's model number for it, so you can save a few dollars and buy it on Amazon. Minor nitpick - you can't use a USB mouse or keyboard to enter info, like you can on the SDS2000X Plus series. Since it's a Linux OS underneath, should be simple enough for the firmware to do that. Maybe a future firmware update. Overall great scope - feels like a professional level scope but at a price a hobbyist can afford.

I think there are enough positives to recommend this scope over the 1054Z offering from Rigol to make the extra cost worth it. The user interface on this scope is responsive and clean vs sluggish response to input on the Rigols. The signal grid offers 14 divisions instead of 12. Menu headings do not overlay waveform view area. The sample rate at 4 channels is okay for a 100Mhz scope and mediocre for a 200Mhz scope. However, dual ADC's make it possible to get 2 channels at 1Gs/sec and that is pretty good. This is much better than the Rigol 1000Z series' single ADC that drops to 500Ms/sec at 2 channels and 250Ms/sec at 4 channels.The probes are decent but not anything special. Keep an eye on the 1X/10X switch which is easy to shift accidentally. Sometimes the hook catches on the hat instead of fully clamping on the lead so be careful to insure a good connection is actually made. The cables are slim and flexible which is nice.Unlike Rigol the remote access features of this scope are really useful. The built-in webserver updates quickly and allows you to view signals full screen on a PC at an update rate that actually makes using it worthwhile. A LAN connection is included and very simple to setup. I was able to use my laptop to control the scope in about 45 seconds of setup.The signal noise levels are pretty mild on the inputs letting me see some low voltage signals within reason. It is possible to add MSO capability later on, but the integration is not that good compared to the Rigol MSO1000Z scopes. Still it's an option that one simply can not add to a Rigol DS1054Z even with hacking.So far I am very pleased with this scope and would have no problem recommending it to hobby users or others that need a low cost 4 channel scope.

Powerful accurate excellent value real oscilloscope. Great value. Well made. Smooth controls. Neat features. A lot of oscilloscope in a small package and for a good price. Love it.

This piece of equipment is an absolute game-changer for anyone in the field of electronics or engineering. The functionality and features packed into this device are simply outstanding. From its crystal-clear display to its intuitive user interface, it's a breeze to use, even for someone like me who is relatively new to oscilloscopes.The accuracy and precision it offers are second to none, and I've been able to troubleshoot and diagnose electronic circuits with ease. Whether I'm working on a simple DIY project or tackling a complex engineering task, this oscilloscope has consistently delivered flawless results.The build quality is top-notch, and it feels robust and durable. It's clear that the manufacturers paid attention to every detail, ensuring that this oscilloscope will stand the test of time.I also appreciate the variety of connectivity options, allowing me to integrate it seamlessly into my workbench setup. Plus, the availability of software updates ensures that my oscilloscope will stay up-to-date and relevant for years to come. I also purchased a Wifi USB dongle so that I could connect it to my computer.

I used this scope for debugging some complex AC power issues and it was great. It's easy to use with many features, including a FFT for frequency analysis and using the AC power input as a trigger. It is well built and I would highly recommend it. The only thing to be aware of is that it's only an 8-bit scope so it doesn't have the dynamic range to look at very small signals right next to or within big ones. For most people the dynamic range will likely be more than fine though and this scope is perfect for many use cases.
