MSO5354

The scope worked very well including the network accessible features. Build quality of case and button tactile feedback was excellent. It was fast and responsive. The only complaint so far is that the uart decoder would sometimes would glitch showing the decoded values when scrolling the time offset. It would return to proper values as the scroll continued.

I bought this for a present for my father. It had (on the surface) all the features we would have wanted.... only the signal generator requires a license; the digital decoding needs a license. Nothin in this indicates that I would have to spend another $900 just to use this.

Before I had a LeCroy 3054 . But since I wanted to have an ethernet connection to my PC the Rigol MSO5354 was a better choice. Compared to the old LeCroy it offers additional features: - ethernet connection to my Linux PC - more memory - FFT - more mathematical functions - color display - A slot for a logic probe - but only 350MHz bandwidth. If you work with high sampling rates use gnuplot (or even self written C-code for better speed) to post process the data. Exel can't handle the amount of data and just crashes. (That's the way it is. professional tools require professional software..)

Good oscilloscope.
