Rigol DS1052E digital storage oscilloscope

@guitarbridgecleaner: I put up the video because there were few videos online when I went to make my purchasing decision, so I thought I'd help others at least see the thing in use. I'm not a seller of oscilloscopes; I do this in my spare time. I can answer some simple questions, but not all questions. The benefit of the youtube comment system is that people can post public comments, and others are free to post responses. It is a free exchange of information, not all from me.

Hello Scott . . . and ALL:

Thanks for your Review!

I am trying to decide between 2 brands of oscilloscope:

Owon & Rigol

I think Rigol has the stronger brand and I can't beat the 1G/sec RTS but . . .

a few features come at a lower price for the Owon - the bigest I'm looking at is the VGA screen.

Since Rigol hasn't bothered with VGA (QVGA even in their high end) should I care about this feature?

Or is it a gimmick for this type of application?

Thanks! Appreciate anyone's info that knows!

Wow, I'd heard that the fan was loud!! Is that the noise in the background? Still, I don't think it'll put me off getting one.

@ForViewingOnly: I don't recall if that was the fan on the scope or not... Sometimes I run a window fan in the workshop,.
