It’s a weird thing CHF I have it also but lack the swelling. I’m used to seeing the large ankles and swollen limbs from my time in the fire department and the ambulance service.

Just ordered the DSO2D15, looking forward to learning the basics. I’ve been looking at the instructional videos on this site, and really appreciate your work. Thanks for the review!
Hey, could you tell me how you like the DSO2D15 so far? I want to buy exactly this model, but everyone bashes Hantek as a brand and tells me to buy a more expensive Rigol instead. So I would really appreciate it if you could give me your 2 cents about it.
@@pedromillan927 Intresting. So it calculates the frequencies with some kind of Fourier transformation? I'm still a novice and haven't reached this deep level of understanding yet. Thank you for your response!
When I started in electronics all I had for equipment was a multimeter. When I got my own scope I knew I was in the big leagues, and I figured out how to use it for everything. But these days I barely use a scope. With all of the $60 sig gens, spectrum analyzers, (TinySA,) and network analyzers, (NanoVNA,) with ever more features that I have now, it seems like my 200 MHz O'scope just gathers dust. I seldom even use the multimeter anymore, either, except for quick continuity tests. We now live in a golden age of sophisticated, tiny, inexpensive, USB or battery-powered, high frequency test and measurement equipment. Life is good.
I was surprised to see that much shielding on a sub $300 scope add in I2c and cann protocol decoding and this scope could scoop up a big chunk of the hobby market. I am curious if it is really capable of hitting all of its claims but I also know very few hobbiests would ever need a scope at the high end. Great video as always Paul.
Thank you for this. I just received my DSO2C10. Gotta love Amazon Prime Day. I was able to buy some really cool stuff (a programmable linear power supply, a signal generator and more) and saved a lot of money. This is my first oscilloscope and your video made this scope a lot less intimidating. Clearly I have lots to learn! Videos like this go a long way in taming the mystery of things new to me. Thanks a million!
Enjoy it mate my first scope was ages ago... Decades.. but a first scope is always a cool thing My advice, Take a month of work Lock yourself in a room with about 50 cups of coffee and some PCB's and go fucking nuts LOL
It's often a waste of time offering serious answers to questions about what our knob-forested test gear does (and how many we actually need... all of them, duh) so I sometimes just say the oscilloscope is a twiddly pressy activity centre for nerds. The control test feature on this scope looks like designers decided we'd actually enjoy that, and I think they're right!
Hantek makes the BEST value scopes hands down. I ordered the 70mhz 4072C but they sent me the 5202 MSO by accident so I got the 200Mhz version which sells for over 400 for about 300. Not only that but in Germany Voltcraft sells that scope for 800+ through Conrad. I used the money I saved to buy the Signal Gen which the 5000 Series is missing compared to the 4000C but I came out way on top because now I have 2+1 channels of 60Mhz instead of 1 20Mhz If I buy another scope any time soon it will be a Hantek 7000 series.
Enjoyed. I never had a scope before and this is my first. I ordered it and then saw your video. Stimulus came and I ordered this, Hakko iron, and Hakko desoldering gun. Wish me lots of luck!
If you don't mind waiting until Christmas they are on Banggood USA for $205.99. I would rather buy from Amazon, get it in two days and if I have a problem it won't take three months to correct. I like Hantek's scopes but if I buy one more I'll be living in the garage. Great review Paul. You can't beat Hantek on cost vs capabilities. Nice little unit.
Hello, my friend. I see you have a 735 ballcap on your bench. I'm a retired ETCS(SS/SW) (NavET) and was the first ship superintendent on Pennsylvania at TRF. Good to find your channel. Later, John
Amazon shows this unit in both a Lab version and a Benchtop version. Lab version comes with only one probe, Benchtop version comes with two. Lab version is about $30 more. What's the difference between them? If you want a built-in signal generator go for the DSO2Dxxx variant - DSO2Cxxx does not contain AWG.
Thanks for the excellent review. I ordered that exact same model (with an extra 150MHz probe) about a week ago, still waiting for it to be shipped though. Will comment again when I have received it. Edit: FedEx delivered it today, and I am very impressed. It's not quite at the same quality level as an HP or Tektronix scope, but it's decent enough, looks good and performs adequately, and it's unmatched in terms of value. Very happy with my purchase!
Please check if the actual sampling rate is 1GSps. Teardown pictures suggest that they used wrong ADC chip( ADC08D502CIYB instead of ADC08D500CIYB) . And it's single channel sampling rate is only 500MSps.
It's OK, he had his other hand right below the tape line he was cutting while pressing downward. So his other hand would have stopped the blade before it cut anything important! 😨 I was shuddering watching that, too.
Bought the DSO2D15 model and later I discovered it has Trigger Level problems with signals below 300 mVpp. I did all the firmware updates, still the traces run on the display, no way to stop them. Things get worse if you keep the oscilloscope on for more than ten minutes. Then, if you select a 50 mVpp sine wave with the internal signal generator, the image is strongly distorted. I contacted Hantek several times, they wanted a video of mine showing the issue. Sent the video twice in a month, then Hantek disappeared. I re-sent a final e-mail today, I am waiting for a sign of life from them. At this moment no help at all, their after sale sucks. I did a BIG mistake, I should have bought a Tektronix instead but you only learn these things later...
I got a similar oscilloscope for 139€ (brand OWON) which is an absolute winner in this price range. It's doing what I expect it to do, nothing more nothing less. It will replace my very old crt oscilloscope.
I read that it is have software issue and they bring update to it . When you recall there is a bluer wave in the background you may not notice Thanks for reviewing
Hi Paul, love your channel...great info and always broken down to a novice level. Can you give your opinion on this scope vs the DSO5102P and the DSO4102 that you have reviewed in the past. If you had to choose, which one would you prefer? Thanks
Great review, thank you. I'm going to order one now as my first "real" oscilloscope :) Should be about £170 delivered to the UK, plus another £9 for a 2nd probe
Read my main comment, mine is faulty and freezes occasionaly so I have to reboot it to make it work again. I will return it under warranty and will claim my money back
@@2pist well guess you are lucky then. Mine froze when changing the time base using full memory depth. At first I thought it might be just a random error. Then the scope froze again and this time it stayed frozen even after rebooting it. It didn't react to any input. Hantek instructed me to reinstall the complete system by setting the scope in maintenance mode. After that it worked again but still froze regularly. I decided to to claim warranty and was forced to send the scope to china what costs me another 45 euro from Germany. I'm now waiting to get back about 250 euro in total for the scope and the shipping cost. The scope is held back by Chinese custom since 2 weeks now and overall I'm wating for my money since two fucking month. I dont even know if they will refund the shipping cost for this price of shit even if they refund my 200euro I played for a defect device I still lost 45 euros for shipping cost. I'm really pissed about how hantek handle this warranty, especially because they have a European hq in Czechs republic where shipping would have been much faster and cheaper. I'm thinking about to take legal actions and sue them for refunding my money. 2 fucking month I'm waiting for about 250 euros. Never again anything from hantek. Meanwhile I got a RIGOL DS1102Z-E 2channel 100mhz scope it doesn't have a function generator but more memory (24M /1Gs @ 1 channel or 12M / 500Ms @ 2 channels) way better measurement and cursor options, way better protocol decoding and math functions and most important, it works and came with 2 quality probes.
Did you put it through a proper test to see it actually delivers what it claims? Or is it classic Chinese junk that says 100MHz on the box and is 20 at best? I know a proper comprehensive test will take time but it would be good to know. Cheers!
I bought one Hantek last year and still have not seen any proper review about that issue. My DSO4102C is still without my trust about its real capabilities.
China, Taiwan, Japan has surely passed America when it comes to electronics, been this way for years but you still get those idiots who think westerners do everything the best... Sorry we just don’t anymore, we can’t even compete in the automotive industry with these other countries. Long story short, other countries do make some great things, you just get those dummies that repeat the same crap they heard someone else say.
@@GroundControl204 The main thing the Asian countries have going for them is cheap labor and lax occupational, health, and environmental laws. Now, some countries and manufacturers are producing a very good product. Still, if you want an excellent o'scope, go buy a Tektronix or an HP-Agilent. You will pay 8 to 15 times as much but a quality product.
Awesome entry scope. One thing I see that's particularly nice about this Hantek versus the Rigol DS1000Z series is that the Hantek can turn off the menus and use the full screen for signal display while the Rigol always has menu columns taking up portions of the left and right sides. Plus it's not much more to step up to the Hantek DSO2D10 to get a 5MHz waveform generator. (DSO2D10 $ 280 on Amaz on today). Even if you wound up having to buy a second probe this scope's a real bargain.
So my DSO2D10 arrived couple of days ago and spotting how to change the serial trigger data/address value is tricky. But look at page Two of the trigger menu and look at the F4 Data Value. Look really carefully and you will two little Red Dots these indicate which value you are changing high/low digit press and turn V0 to select the digit and same to shift between value and high/low digit. Tricky but easily mastered when you figure it, hope that helps :-)
BTW you said you couldn't see the recalled waveform. Maybe it would've been better to switch to square wave for the live one, but I certainly thought you could see the greyed/ghosted image of the saved sine wave when you recalled it
Welcome. In your settings, the subtitle is an option with English to English, it makes no sense. You need to enable the translation to other languages. Thank You.
It would be interesting to know if that same circuit board is used in their "upgraded" scopes. Is that same board used in the 100MHz, 150MHz & 200MHz scopes. If so, then software determines band width. Probably a flag in the software that limits the 'scope's bandwidth and not the hardware.
I'm 37 and just started getting into electronics a couple of years ago. Well, I've tinkered with electronics here and there since I was really young but just started building my own circuits the last couple of years. An oscilloscope is about the only piece of equipment I still have yet to get. I've been out of work for about a year now due to health reasons and just can't afford one right now. In your opinion/experience are the cheap small ones like the Q15001 worth buying? I can't even afford one of them at the moment lol but will probably be about the only one I'd ever be able to get with the way things have been going lately lol.
@@mtkoslowski Unless you have a coupon for about 90% off of that price I'm gonna have to pass cause that's about all my budget at the moment will allow for lol.
Those little cheap handheld scopes aren't totally useless but are ultimately low bandwidth toys. You're better off trolling your local marketplace sites and trying to score an old 2 channel bench scope for $50 or so.
thanks. love your vids. you've helped me get to the point in my electronics hobby that I bought my first oscilloscope and this is the one I bought. $187 @ Amazon today. I'd love to know what
Nice scope for the money but, only shipping one probe with a 2 channel scope is a bit ignorant. Raise the price a bit and put in the 2nd probe. It would still be a great value.
Doesn't beat Rigol's classic DS1054Z. But thanks for sharing nonetheless. BTW, the constant focus hunting of the autofocus on your camera is annoying to say the least.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the effort in making them. They have inspired me to order some basics and start playing. I do have one request and it is a variation of things you have done. How about a video on making a randomly flashing LED? I have figured out the 555 on some level and I realize it would take a few more components to do this but I would like a little more info on generating a "random" length, variable pulse. I'm thinking like controlling an LED, MOSFET or BJT making them go on and off at randomly changing intervals and lengths. Another thing I think folks would be interested in would be speakers. Like having speakers be the analog input to control something, and LED, switch, transistor, etc....
Dig around the web and you will find someone has done it more than likely. If not, you may come across something similar you can reverse engineer. I wanted to design a switching power supply for a car amplifier when I started out so I cobbled together a 556 timer and some junk somehow made it work using an old amp as a guide. Sadly my level of sophistication hasn't changed the last 20 yrs until I too bought this scope. Lol.. it's a fun yet frustrating hobby.
It's worth mentioning that Hantek don't include a ground spring with their probes, only the standard 15cm/6" ground lead with a crocodile clip, which is a shame. You can of course make your own, or buy them for a couple of £
Disappointment (very) with this scope ** > I own this unit (new) about 6 months and used for 2 months then it Ch2 became out of calibration - the zero is off by 150mV when use the "zero" button. The reading also lower than Ch#1 by about 46% when I connect the same probe to the square wave test output post of the scope. I used the calibration function(found in Utility bottom) and it came back with error code : 511d6. I also downloaded the latest software from Hantek. It did not improve and same error code. Tried email to Hantek service . Hantek in China finally responded with instruction to re-flash firmware.
Excellent video! But I have a doubt. Please, can you check for me if it is possible to measure the phase angle between two sinusoidals with this equipment? That is, what is the phase angle between channels 1 and 2 when both channels have a sine wave, but the frequencies of channels 1 and 2 are different? Does it do this measurement automatically? Thanks.
my old 10 mhz heath-kit scope I built in the 80's gave up the ghost ... this will be a good replacement and I don't have to have a 18" long cabinet taking up room on the bench...
Nice scope Paul - only downer is the omission of the 2nd scope probe and possibly no fan but perhaps none needed - ha ha they know guys like you open their scopes so they scrubbed the chip info off....now you will have to xray it! When I googled "lemontree chips" I get ads for potato chips 🤡 Overall a good value for under $300 especially with the built in decoder and other features. I like the different colors they used for the front panel LEDs. How would you compare Hantek scopes to Keysights with similar features? Is Keysight worth the extra $$$. Last year I bought a Siglent 200 MHz 2 ch scope (about $429) with part of my stimulus money been very happy with it.
FYI > error code : 511d6. Hantek tech support informed me it is Ch2 board hardware fault. Need to send back to China for repair. Now my scope has failed completely on both channels. The function keys are not working for both channels after power up. I have to pay for round trip shipping to China and customs charges but repair is free. That will cost as much as the new scope itself
I had a DSO5102P as my main scope for three years until recently. Hantec makes really good inexpensive scopes with good features. This scope seems to have a faster processor than the 5100 series, but seems "chopped" in other areas, like the hardware counter not displaying :( During the I2C decode, it looked like it was at 25kS a/s and 4k. Is that the most mem points and speed it can do for I2C? If so, going above 100k I2C will not be possible :( What about SPI? Can you use the EXT port for the clock-in? Thanks.
in that price range you have a decent rigol ds1102z-e scope wich has a good reputation and a lot of features. amazing to see the price of these scopes get so low.
Hey Paul, nice video. Mine didn't arrive yet but I have a question if you have the time to answer: This model doesn't have the function generator, but the buttons are there... can be "software activated", is just a software issue? Did you notice that the board has written DSO2D15... It seems they all use the same board. Kudos Hugo.
The little scopes they have these days... I just found your channel and noticed the Pennsylvania Hat right off the bat. What flavor of Bubblehead Tech were you? I was a NavET and still have nightmares about hauling the old Tektronix 545s up to the tender. When you think that this little sub $300 scope more than matches everything we could do with the $8k Tektronix beasts from back in the day, and way more... Subscribed, interested to see what you've got coming up.
I actually have been thinking about getting a Hantek scope, but I still love my Tektronix 500 series scopes, (531A, 535A, 545A, 561A, 564, RM565, and my 503), Those scopes are still up and running at this time. I just worry about how long the Hantek will last. Most likely my Tektronix scopes will still be up and running 20 years from now. I am still learning on how to do all the math.
I have an older version, the range switches on the probes failed , the voltage measuring after many self calibration, still inaccurate and when emailed the company 2 times (still under warranty) did not respond!!
I don't see this on your workbench in later videos, so did you decide to keep it? Could you (easily) remove the red tab and the protective film (it is between the case and the LCD)? If you do decide to do a follow-up video e.g. using the trigger of serial protocols (would be good) then turning off the sound in the utility menu is a good way to go? There is a useful function that remembers all the last settings e.g. V/div, horizontal timebase, etc. if you don't twiddle knobs for about 10 seconds. Later, if (probably when) changing the settings causes the system to hang and you have to power the unit off and on, it will be exactly as you left it. I like that "feature" a lot and it's better than nothing. The print menu can be bypassed by directly using the "Save to USB" button. It is a good idea to copy all existing screen prints to a "Saved" folder before starting to save a bunch of prints because the files are not time/date stamped and it can get confusing if you have new ones mixed in with old ones. Only one probe? To be fair, Amazon's description does say only one probe is provided.
I have this oscilloscope and with the latest firmware it is unusable, the signal is disturbed on half of the screen and the measured frequency is double even if we read directly manually!
I'm looking at this model for tube amp work. The fnirsi has the signal generator, though. I wonder what one I should get. I have an old smart phone I can use as an audio generator I guess
Hello Paul thank you. Very in formative. Coincidentally I’m still looking for a decent scope for a little above beginner level. How would you compare this one to a Rigol DS1054Z or the Hantek 5102P?
Hello Paul, I would defiantly go with the Rigol. You can find online the update hack that will give you 100MHz, 24MB memory depth instead of 8MB and all the trigger modes. The interface is much better and polished. And if you haven't checked it out, go to the EEV BLOG channel and see the review Dave did on the Rigol, you'll be sold.
If you don't need 4 channels, there's also the newer Rigol DS1102Z-E which is basically a DS1054Z with only 2 channels, but it comes with 100 MHz and all triggering modes and protocol decoding already enabled officially. You can get that for under $300.
Up until 1 1/2 years ago Hantek was best value by a wide margin. Lately the scopes from other vendors have been getting cheaper but the entry scopes still don't match their features. Rigol etc charges for unlocking things like higher speeds or signal analyzers which Hantek gives you for free.
I want to buy the same oscilloscope but with the signal generator built-in because I don't have that either, would you recommend this scope for me with the signal generator? I'm only doing Arduino, Raspberry Pi & ESP8266 projects and I need a way to measure the resonant frequency of tesla coils that I'm building, is this one up for that task?
Hello.Does it have the digital filter like RIGOL DS1052E? Repetitive signal 60MHz sine wave was fluctuating and some distortion,a bit shame,but acceptable,because it has the serial bus decoding(address/data trigger etc>Considering the price,very interesting.Thanks.
I bought this scope and I am going to use it for working on vintage audio gear. I am new to electronics and I would like to know if I will be able to generate and trace a signal at the same time with this unit?
Can you use a powerbank to power the scoop? Or is it also battery powered? And please could you tell me the vertical sensitivity? I am looking for a battery powereld scope with about 5mV sensitivity
Thanks for reviewing this. I got confused and ordered one thinking that the waveform generator worked. Damn. Have you tried the remote control feature? Do you know if it works in Linux? Thanks again.
when a n or p type semiconductor frys does it become a new ion or do the atoms move comepletly in location staying stable or i guess what ion to even use... do you really think beta particles are electron pieces or just radiation that effects the electrons spin resulting in chage in charge or weigjt or density which is relative. just a good question i was thinking about al and lead or tin or would it be too radioactive? anyhow really trying to understand the homack n electroysis in full its a bit mystic still

hello every body, few days ago the Hanteck dso2D10 arrives in my house. I tried the SINGLE mode. Everything works with Edge RISING, but nothing work with Edge FALLING (or Either). someone have found the same as me ??
Should this scope be able to accurately read dc voltage?? 13.8v reads 14.1v on ch2 and 14.0 on ch1 a aa battery reads 1.6 when its actually 1.44v is this normal behavior? Ive tried everything. 😪
Como nadie aquí te va a responder ya te respondo yo. Básicamente hacen los dos lo mismo y lo único que importa en un osciloscopio digital es el ancho de banda y la memoria. Cuanto más ancho de banda, mejor. No hace falta que te pilles un 5202, es el 5102 con una actualización y por firmware puedes liberarlo a 200mhz. Y pasa algo similar al 2c10/15 con una actualización puedes liberarlo a 159mhz. Lo que nadie cuenta de hantek es que sus anchos de banda son siempre mediante resoluciones de firmware, realmente ninguno traga más de 66mhz.

I recently bought the DSO2D10, the one with signal generator. After a first excitement I very fast got disappointed. The oscilloscope occasionally frozen during measurements, especially when changing the time base. It doesn't reacted to any input and had to be restarted to work again. At one point the oscilloscope frozen and kept frozen even after restarting it. I had to contact hantek support wich was friendly and helpfull. They send me instructions on how to set the device in maintenance mode and reinstall the software what solved the problem, at least partial. After reinstalling the complete system the oscilloscope worked again but it doesn't fixed the main problem. Unfortunately the oscilloscope still freezes during measurements and have to be rebooted. Will return the device under warranty and claim a refund off my money. I'll guess I will buy a 2 channel 100mhz oscilloscope from rigol. Sadly I'm now without a working oscilloscope until I got my money back Guess I will buy a Rigol DS1102Z-E, 2-Kanal, 100MHz,1 GSa/s, 24 Mpts, Edit: Meanwhile I bought a Rigol DS1102Z-E and I'm very happy with it. Hantek pissing me off. 1. They insisted had to return this piece of scrap to china even they have a hq in Czechs republic. That would have been much faster and cheaper. Shipping costs from Germany to china costs me about 50 euro what I had to pay for. 2. I'm waiting for the refund off 250 euros by now over two fucking month and dont even know if they will refund the shipping costs for this piece of scrap. I'm not even sure they will refund the shipping cost even the promised to do, since they still refusing to refund my money even the scope is sent to china. I'm really patient even 250 euros is a lot of money but how they do everything to not refund my money is close to be fraudulent.
So... my function generator quit after my clips shorted for about 5 seconds. Shouldn't they have a protection Circuit? I sent Hantek an email a week ago and heard nothing..
@@2pist I contacted the hantek support from their website. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for my refund. The returned scope is at the Chinese customs for over a month now but the official hantek store from aliexpress didn't collect it. They told aliexpress they didn't got it and aliexpress froze my refund. I'm now thinking about to file a complaint for commercial fraud against hantek and aliexpress at the public prosecutor. I now waiting for 3 month to get my money back and have neither the scope nor my money back. I'm really pissed.
@@2pist it should have a protection and as far as I know its mentioned in the description. The whole series seems to be buggy. I posted my experience at the eev-blog and another user reported the same problem. His scope also freezes randomly during measurements. Same middle as mine, a dso2d10.

Hantek makes the BEST value scopes hands down. I ordered the 70mhz 4072C but they sent me the 5202 MSO by accident so I got the 200Mhz version which sells for over 400 for about 300. Not only that but in Germany Voltcraft sells that scope for 800+ through Conrad. I used the money I saved to buy the Signal Gen which the 5000 Series is missing compared to the 4000C but I came out way on top because now I have 2+1 channels of 60Mhz instead of 1 20Mhz
If I buy another scope any time soon it will be a Hantek 7000 series.
Enjoyed. I never had a scope before and this is my first. I ordered it and then saw your video. Stimulus came and I ordered this, Hakko iron, and Hakko desoldering gun. Wish me lots of luck!
If you don't mind waiting until Christmas they are on Banggood USA for $205.99. I would rather buy from Amazon, get it in two days and if I have a problem it won't take three months to correct. I like Hantek's scopes but if I buy one more I'll be living in the garage. Great review Paul. You can't beat Hantek on cost vs capabilities. Nice little unit.
You can buy on Aliexpress for cheaper and still get it shipped from your country. I ordered Mine and it arrived in
Getting something in the US from China in 2 days is as probable as a Scotsman wearing underwear I'm afraid.
Overall as a beginner scope, it looks good, especially the decoding but I don't like them shorting you a probe. Thanks, Paul.
It has pretty much the same features as my entry level Siglent SDS 1102 DL+ Scope. Cool video, thanks Paul.
Great review Paul. I have the DSO2D15, this has the frequency generator. I haven't tried it yet, but i am looking forward too. #StaySafe
Hello, my friend. I see you have a 735 ballcap on your bench. I'm a retired ETCS(SS/SW) (NavET) and was the first ship superintendent on Pennsylvania at TRF. Good to find your channel. Later, John
STS2 here
Amazon shows this unit in both a Lab version and a Benchtop version. Lab version comes with only one probe, Benchtop version comes with two. Lab version is about $30 more. What's the difference between them? If you want a built-in signal generator go for the DSO2Dxxx variant - DSO2Cxxx does not contain AWG.
I don't know.
That button test is cool. I am not sure how often buttons go bad on budget scopes but certain buttons get used a lot and it's nice to have a test.
Thanks for the excellent review. I ordered that exact same model (with an extra 150MHz probe) about a week ago, still waiting for it to be shipped though. Will comment again when I have received it.
Edit: FedEx delivered it today, and I am very impressed. It's not quite at the same quality level as an HP or Tektronix scope, but it's decent enough, looks good and performs adequately, and it's unmatched in terms of value. Very happy with my purchase!
Please check if the actual sampling rate is 1GSps. Teardown pictures suggest that they used wrong ADC chip( ADC08D502CIYB instead of ADC08D500CIYB) . And it's single channel sampling rate is only 500MSps.
I'm interested in this now because I was looking at picking one up but hmmm.
That maybe explains why my dso2c10 occasionally freezes and have to be rebooted, see my main comment
Top Tip. Don’t pull a sharp knife towards you when opening packaging. 👍🏻😉
It's OK, he had his other hand right below the tape line he was cutting while pressing downward. So his other hand would have stopped the blade before it cut anything important! 😨
I was shuddering watching that, too.
We come with 9 spare fingers for a reason, ya know
This is great at this price...I can use that I2c decode on my pico projects.
i got this today 😌
I'm so Happy now 🎉️
Bought the DSO2D15 model and later I discovered it has Trigger Level problems with signals below 300 mVpp. I did all the firmware updates, still the traces run on the display, no way to stop them. Things get worse if you keep the oscilloscope on for more than ten minutes. Then, if you select a 50 mVpp sine wave with the internal signal generator, the image is strongly distorted.
I contacted Hantek several times, they wanted a video of mine showing the issue. Sent the video twice in a month, then Hantek disappeared. I re-sent a final e-mail today, I am waiting for a sign of life from them. At this moment no help at all, their after sale sucks.
I did a BIG mistake, I should have bought a Tektronix instead but you only learn these things later...
I got a similar oscilloscope for 139€ (brand OWON) which is an absolute winner in this price range. It's doing what I expect it to do, nothing more nothing less. It will replace my very old crt oscilloscope.
what series owon oscilloscope sir?
I read that it is have software issue and they bring update to it .
When you recall there is a bluer wave in the background you may not notice
Thanks for reviewing
The dark grey facia is very appealing.
I like it too.
Thanks Paul. What was the memory depth on the FFT?
Spec says 8M, Eddie.
Hi Paul, love your channel...great info and always broken down to a novice level.
Can you give your opinion on this scope vs the DSO5102P and the DSO4102 that you have reviewed in the past. If you had to choose, which one would you prefer?
Thanks
Dso5102P. Of course.
@@pedromillan927 Can you give some more details on why please? I'm thinking of buying an entry level oscilloscope
@@lalu225 you can upgrade it with a simple update to 200Mhz
Great review, thank you. I'm going to order one now as my first "real" oscilloscope :) Should be about £170 delivered to the UK, plus another £9 for a 2nd probe
Read my main comment, mine is faulty and freezes occasionaly so I have to reboot it to make it work again.
I will return it under warranty and will claim my money back
Mine works perfectly, never frozen. It's worth the extra 30 bucks to get the function generator. Worth every penny.
@@2pist well guess you are lucky then.
Mine froze when changing the time base using full memory depth. At first I thought it might be just a random error.
Then the scope froze again and this time it stayed frozen even after rebooting it. It didn't react to any input.
Hantek instructed me to reinstall the complete system by setting the scope in maintenance mode.
After that it worked again but still froze regularly.
I decided to to claim warranty and was forced to send the scope to china what costs me another 45 euro from Germany.
I'm now waiting to get back about 250 euro in total for the scope and the shipping cost.
The scope is held back by Chinese custom since 2 weeks now and overall I'm wating for my money since two fucking month.
I dont even know if they will refund the shipping cost for this price of shit even if they refund my 200euro I played for a defect device I still lost 45 euros for shipping cost.
I'm really pissed about how hantek handle this warranty, especially because they have a European hq in Czechs republic where shipping would have been much faster and cheaper.
I'm thinking about to take legal actions and sue them for refunding my money.
2 fucking month I'm waiting for about 250 euros. Never again anything from hantek.
Meanwhile I got a RIGOL DS1102Z-E 2channel 100mhz scope it doesn't have a function generator but more memory (24M /1Gs @ 1 channel or 12M / 500Ms @ 2 channels) way better measurement and cursor options, way better protocol decoding and math functions and most important, it works and came with 2 quality probes.
@@2pist just set the scope to highest memory depth and sample rate and lower the time base, especially in protocol decoding (I2C) it might freeze
@@MADxHAWK got your money back?
Did you put it through a proper test to see it actually delivers what it claims? Or is it classic Chinese junk that says 100MHz on the box and is 20 at best? I know a proper comprehensive test will take time but it would be good to know. Cheers!
I bought one Hantek last year and still have not seen any proper review about that issue. My DSO4102C is still without my trust about its real capabilities.
China, Taiwan, Japan has surely passed America when it comes to electronics, been this way for years but you still get those idiots who think westerners do everything the best... Sorry we just don’t anymore, we can’t even compete in the automotive industry with these other countries. Long story short, other countries do make some great things, you just get those dummies that repeat the same crap they heard someone else say.
@@GroundControl204 Japan maybe but that is not what you see. Top brands are still from west. Take the crap out and that is what remains
@@GroundControl204 The main thing the Asian countries have going for them is cheap labor and lax occupational, health, and environmental laws. Now, some countries and manufacturers are producing a very good product. Still, if you want an excellent o'scope, go buy a Tektronix or an HP-Agilent. You will pay 8 to 15 times as much but a quality product.
I like the shield. The fan might be for the 4 channel version...
Awesome entry scope. One thing I see that's particularly nice about this Hantek versus the Rigol DS1000Z series is that the Hantek can turn off the menus and use the full screen for signal display while the Rigol always has menu columns taking up portions of the left and right sides. Plus it's not much more to step up to the Hantek DSO2D10 to get a 5MHz waveform generator. (DSO2D10 $ 280 on Amaz on today). Even if you wound up having to buy a second probe this scope's a real bargain.
So my DSO2D10 arrived couple of days ago and spotting how to change the serial trigger data/address value is tricky. But look at page Two of the trigger menu and look at the F4 Data Value. Look really carefully and you will two little Red Dots these indicate which value you are changing high/low digit press and turn V0 to select the digit and same to shift between value and high/low digit. Tricky but easily mastered when you figure it, hope that helps :-)
About 206 USD @ Banggood! Btw: I like your stuff a lot! Thx vry much! Greetings from Vienna, Austria!
Thank you
BTW you said you couldn't see the recalled waveform. Maybe it would've been better to switch to square wave for the live one, but I certainly thought you could see the greyed/ghosted image of the saved sine wave when you recalled it
Hey Jan 2024 I just took mine out of box. Same model. I have two orobes plus cable with pos and neg clips.
DSO2C10 VS DSO5102P. Which one is better?
Welcome. In your settings, the subtitle is an option with English to English, it makes no sense. You need to enable the translation to other languages. Thank You.
It would be interesting to know if that same circuit board is used in their "upgraded" scopes. Is that same board used in the 100MHz, 150MHz & 200MHz scopes. If so, then software determines band width. Probably a flag in the software that limits the 'scope's bandwidth and not the hardware.
Hi! Thanks for your review. I’m thinking of getting one oscilloscope but not sure if I should get DSO5102P or DSO2C10.
Been excited to check out that ufo in back yard
Nice review video
I'm 37 and just started getting into electronics a couple of years ago. Well, I've tinkered with electronics here and there since I was really young but just started building my own circuits the last couple of years. An oscilloscope is about the only piece of equipment I still have yet to get. I've been out of work for about a year now due to health reasons and just can't afford one right now. In your opinion/experience are the cheap small ones like the Q15001 worth buying? I can't even afford one of them at the moment lol but will probably be about the only one I'd ever be able to get with the way things have been going lately lol.
My advice ERIC is for you to purchase a Rigol 1054Z 4 channel 50 MHz scope. It’s outstanding value for around $300.00 or so.
@@mtkoslowski Unless you have a coupon for about 90% off of that price I'm gonna have to pass cause that's about all my budget at the moment will allow for lol.
Those little cheap handheld scopes aren't totally useless but are ultimately low bandwidth toys. You're better off trolling your local marketplace sites and trying to score an old 2 channel bench scope for $50 or so.
@@Broken_Yugo Thanks for the info 👍
I am a fan of that fan!!
Thank you! 🙏
thanks. love your vids. you've helped me get to the point in my electronics hobby that I bought my first oscilloscope and this is the one I bought. $187 @ Amazon today. I'd love to know what
Hantek DSO2d15 for $216
amzn.to/3QResd3
Nice scope for the money but, only shipping one probe with a 2 channel scope is a bit ignorant. Raise the price a bit and put in the 2nd probe. It would still be a great value.
thank you for video demonstration
I bought one with a couple of extra probes including a 10X probe.
Doesn't beat Rigol's classic DS1054Z. But thanks for sharing nonetheless.
BTW, the constant focus hunting of the autofocus on your camera is annoying to say the least.
I like quiet test gear! Nice video thx
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the effort in making them. They have inspired me to order some basics and start playing. I do have one request and it is a variation of things you have done. How about a video on making a randomly flashing LED? I have figured out the 555 on some level and I realize it would take a few more components to do this but I would like a little more info on generating a "random" length, variable pulse. I'm thinking like controlling an LED, MOSFET or BJT making them go on and off at randomly changing intervals and lengths. Another thing I think folks would be interested in would be speakers. Like having speakers be the analog input to control something, and LED, switch, transistor, etc....
Dig around the web and you will find someone has done it more than likely. If not, you may come across something similar you can reverse engineer. I wanted to design a switching power supply for a car amplifier when I started out so I cobbled together a 556 timer and some junk somehow made it work using an old amp as a guide. Sadly my level of sophistication hasn't changed the last 20 yrs until I too bought this scope. Lol.. it's a fun yet frustrating hobby.
I would've appreciated more if you show us the formats that can be saved through the USB plug and how !!
It's worth mentioning that Hantek don't include a ground spring with their probes, only the standard 15cm/6" ground lead with a crocodile clip, which is a shame. You can of course make your own, or buy them for a couple of £
Very well explained
Disappointment (very) with this scope ** > I own this unit (new) about 6 months and used for 2 months then it Ch2 became out of calibration - the zero is off by 150mV when use the "zero" button. The reading also lower than Ch#1 by about 46% when I connect the same probe to the square wave test output post of the scope. I used the calibration function(found in Utility bottom) and it came back with error code : 511d6. I also downloaded the latest software from Hantek. It did not improve and same error code. Tried email to Hantek service . Hantek in China finally responded with instruction to re-flash firmware.
Looks like another good scope. Think the reference saved waveform was displayed but not easy to see.
Nice review, ordered my one today :-)
Excellent video! But I have a doubt. Please, can you check for me if it is possible to measure the phase angle between two sinusoidals with this equipment? That is, what is the phase angle between channels 1 and 2 when both channels have a sine wave, but the frequencies of channels 1 and 2 are different? Does it do this measurement automatically? Thanks.
my old 10 mhz heath-kit scope I built in the 80's gave up the ghost ... this will be a good replacement and I don't have to have a 18" long cabinet taking up room on the bench...
Yes the new scopes are much thinner.
Nice scope Paul - only downer is the omission of the 2nd scope probe and possibly no fan but perhaps none needed - ha ha they know guys like you open their scopes so they scrubbed the chip info off....now you will have to xray it! When I googled "lemontree chips" I get ads for potato chips 🤡 Overall a good value for under $300 especially with the built in decoder and other features. I like the different colors they used for the front panel LEDs. How would you compare Hantek scopes to Keysights with similar features? Is Keysight worth the extra $$$. Last year I bought a Siglent 200 MHz 2 ch scope (about $429) with part of my stimulus money been very happy with it.
FYI I just ordered one of these off of Amazon, and mine came with two probes. Your box was probably just a one-off fluke that was packed in error.
FYI > error code : 511d6. Hantek tech support informed me it is Ch2 board hardware fault. Need to send back to China for repair. Now my scope has failed completely on both channels. The function keys are not working for both channels after power up. I have to pay for round trip shipping to China and customs charges but repair is free. That will cost as much as the new scope itself
I had a DSO5102P as my main scope for three years until recently. Hantec makes really good inexpensive scopes with good features. This scope seems to have a faster processor than the 5100 series, but seems "chopped" in other areas, like the hardware counter not displaying :( During the I2C decode, it looked like it was at 25kS a/s and 4k. Is that the most mem points and speed it can do for I2C? If so, going above 100k I2C will not be possible :( What about SPI? Can you use the EXT port for the clock-in? Thanks.
in that price range you have a decent rigol ds1102z-e scope wich has a good reputation and a lot of features. amazing to see the price of these scopes get so low.
Thanks for the video.
If you were to compare this one against the DSO5102p, which one would you say it is a better oscilloscope?
Thanks
Pedro
Hey Paul, nice video. Mine didn't arrive yet but I have a question if you have the time to answer: This model doesn't have the function generator, but the buttons are there... can be "software activated", is just a software issue? Did you notice that the board has written DSO2D15... It seems they all use the same board. Kudos Hugo.
As far as i know, yes you can. Someone, a French dude sent me hack for it. Email me @ arduino0169@gmailcom
That has the DAC installed. It can probably be hacked to give the AWG functionality.
Nice.Thanks
Very Nice ! Thank you .
The little scopes they have these days... I just found your channel and noticed the Pennsylvania Hat right off the bat. What flavor of Bubblehead Tech were you? I was a NavET and still have nightmares about hauling the old Tektronix 545s up to the tender. When you think that this little sub $300 scope more than matches everything we could do with the $8k Tektronix beasts from back in the day, and way more...
Subscribed, interested to see what you've got coming up.
STS...Yeah this little cheapo scope blows the Tek behemoths out of the water.
I actually have been thinking about getting a Hantek scope, but I still love my Tektronix 500 series scopes, (531A, 535A, 545A, 561A, 564, RM565, and my 503), Those scopes are still up and running at this time. I just worry about how long the Hantek will last. Most likely my Tektronix scopes will still be up and running 20 years from now. I am still learning on how to do all the math.
Thanks. i think im gona get this one thinking i have a ryobi 150 watt battery inverter to run it free of mains
I have an older version, the range switches on the probes failed , the voltage measuring after many self calibration, still inaccurate and when emailed the company 2 times (still under warranty) did not respond!!
Ahhh ordered it a week ago and still waiting for it to ship :( really want it now
Very good.Thank you.
I don't see this on your workbench in later videos, so did you decide to keep it? Could you (easily) remove the red tab and the protective film (it is between the case and the LCD)? If you do decide to do a follow-up video e.g. using the trigger of serial protocols (would be good) then turning off the sound in the utility menu is a good way to go? There is a useful function that remembers all the last settings e.g. V/div, horizontal timebase, etc. if you don't twiddle knobs for about 10 seconds. Later, if (probably when) changing the settings causes the system to hang and you have to power the unit off and on, it will be exactly as you left it. I like that "feature" a lot and it's better than nothing. The print menu can be bypassed by directly using the "Save to USB" button. It is a good idea to copy all existing screen prints to a "Saved" folder before starting to save a bunch of prints because the files are not time/date stamped and it can get confusing if you have new ones mixed in with old ones. Only one probe? To be fair, Amazon's description does say only one probe is provided.
I have over 20 scopes. That one is on the shelf for now. I was able to pull the film off.
Greetings 🙏
Please recommend which is better for a beginner. Hantek DSO2C10 or DSO2D10 or Fnirsi 1014D.
Is Hantek DSO2C10 is better then DSO2D10?
Not a bad scope but I will stick with my 1054Z
I have this oscilloscope and with the latest firmware it is unusable, the signal is disturbed on half of the screen and the measured frequency is double even if we read directly manually!
same here with the d15 version
I'm looking at this model for tube amp work. The fnirsi has the signal generator, though. I wonder what one I should get. I have an old smart phone I can use as an audio generator I guess
Hello there! How can I join your patreon channel sir? I found your videos are very interesting. Thanks and more power to this channel.
Hello Paul thank you. Very in formative. Coincidentally I’m still looking for a decent scope for a little above beginner level. How would you compare this one to a Rigol DS1054Z or the Hantek 5102P?
Hello Paul, I would defiantly go with the Rigol. You can find online the update hack that will give you 100MHz, 24MB memory depth instead of 8MB and all the trigger modes. The interface is much better and polished. And if you haven't checked it out, go to the EEV BLOG channel and see the review Dave did on the Rigol, you'll be sold.
If you don't need 4 channels, there's also the newer Rigol DS1102Z-E which is basically a DS1054Z with only 2 channels, but it comes with 100 MHz and all triggering modes and protocol decoding already enabled officially. You can get that for under $300.
Up until 1 1/2 years ago Hantek was best value by a wide margin. Lately the scopes from other vendors have been getting cheaper but the entry scopes still don't match their features. Rigol etc charges for unlocking things like higher speeds or signal analyzers which Hantek gives you for free.
@@dsfryda Absolutely. Buy it and hack it. Really easy to do. Very nice scope, I like it a lot.
Did anyone push the memory of the device. I believe it might be a issue..
I want to buy the same oscilloscope but with the signal generator built-in because I don't have that either, would you recommend this scope for me with the signal generator?
I'm only doing Arduino, Raspberry Pi & ESP8266 projects and I need a way to measure the resonant frequency of tesla coils that I'm building, is this one up for that task?
Hello.Does it have the digital filter like RIGOL DS1052E? Repetitive signal 60MHz sine wave was fluctuating and some distortion,a bit shame,but acceptable,because it has the serial bus decoding(address/data trigger etc>Considering the price,very interesting.Thanks.

Cual me recomendarías? DSO5202P vs DSO2C10? Te lo agradezco,excelente contenido,saludos desde chile
Como nadie aquí te va a responder ya te respondo yo. Básicamente hacen los dos lo mismo y lo único que importa en un osciloscopio digital es el ancho de banda y la memoria. Cuanto más ancho de banda, mejor. No hace falta que te pilles un 5202, es el 5102 con una actualización y por firmware puedes liberarlo a 200mhz. Y pasa algo similar al 2c10/15 con una actualización puedes liberarlo a 159mhz. Lo que nadie cuenta de hantek es que sus anchos de banda son siempre mediante resoluciones de firmware, realmente ninguno traga más de 66mhz.
Pillate un Rigol 1054 eso es la poya.

I recently bought the DSO2D10, the one with signal generator.
After a first excitement I very fast got disappointed.
The oscilloscope occasionally frozen during measurements, especially when changing the time base. It doesn't reacted to any input and had to be restarted to work again.
At one point the oscilloscope frozen and kept frozen even after restarting it.
I had to contact hantek support wich was friendly and helpfull.
They send me instructions on how to set the device in maintenance mode and reinstall the software what solved the problem, at least partial. After reinstalling the complete system the oscilloscope worked again but it doesn't fixed the main problem. Unfortunately the oscilloscope still freezes during measurements and have to be rebooted.
Will return the device under warranty and claim a refund off my money.
I'll guess I will buy a 2 channel 100mhz oscilloscope from rigol.
Sadly I'm now without a working oscilloscope until I got my money back
Guess I will buy a Rigol DS1102Z-E, 2-Kanal, 100MHz,1 GSa/s, 24 Mpts,
Edit:
Meanwhile I bought a Rigol DS1102Z-E and I'm very happy with it.
Hantek pissing me off.
1. They insisted had to return this piece of scrap to china even they have a hq in Czechs republic. That would have been much faster and cheaper. Shipping costs from Germany to china costs me about 50 euro what I had to pay for.
2. I'm waiting for the refund off 250 euros by now over two fucking month and dont even know if they will refund the shipping costs for this piece of scrap.
I'm not even sure they will refund the shipping cost even the promised to do, since they still refusing to refund my money even the scope is sent to china.
I'm really patient even 250 euros is a lot of money but how they do everything to not refund my money is close to be fraudulent.
So... my function generator quit after my clips shorted for about 5 seconds. Shouldn't they have a protection Circuit? I sent Hantek an email a week ago and heard nothing..
How did you contact Hantek?
@@2pist I contacted the hantek support from their website.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for my refund. The returned scope is at the Chinese customs for over a month now but the official hantek store from aliexpress didn't collect it. They told aliexpress they didn't got it and aliexpress froze my refund.
I'm now thinking about to file a complaint for commercial fraud against hantek and aliexpress at the public prosecutor.
