I learn by trial and error and I would love to press those soft sexy illuminated buttons. Bitluni can you make a cat litterbox project? Maybe with Wemos and some nema23 motors? Weight sensors and mp3 shield to play sound effects :D The self cleaning part would be helpful
You won the scope! I need your shipping address... Please contact me on google+ (I added you to my contacts) or any other way I see that it is actually you.
I won? I have never won anything this great! What are the odds? Whatever the case, lucky me and thank you so much! I'm speechless and a little bit intimidated. The oscilloscope seems pretty next level.Thank you again I'll contact you asap.
Fantastic review!!! Had me sold in the first 30 seconds. I love that you got right to the point and didn't waste 10 minutes introducing yourself and explaining how and what you are going to do in your video. Other people that waste my time doing that , lose me in 2 seconds. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. :)
Hi unexpected maker, I'm from Brazil and I would like to get a 1204X-E as well. How is it after 2 years? Is it working well? Have you noticed some bug or something like that?
I've been watching your last bundle of uploads like clockwork. Somehow you always upload a video related to what I'm working on! This time is NO EXCEPTION! I'd really love this amazing SDS 1104X-E scope to fine tune my circuits connected to my multiplexed RGB LED matrix. I'm attaching it to a set of FPV goggles, but shhhh for now ;). I promise to send you a Google drive link when it's up and running! ( If I get it up and running that is... Dang LiPo discharge *fist shake*)
I purchased the same scope after watching this video. Picked it up at the Post office today. Looking forward to test it for my hobby projects. Will retire my old Tektronix 465 from ca 1980.
Excellent review, thanks a lot! Definitely I would like to use it for debugging I2C communications. Moreover, this device looks very promising for helping me experimenting around vlf wireless analysis. Greetings from Mexico!
Trying to supply basic equipment to my small "mancave corner" this scope would be definitelly great addition allowing me to do the "one step further". Thanks for the review.
Hi, I've been learning electronics for 3 years now and it's a lot of fun! An oscilloscope would allow me to study the behavior of electonic components under AC. I have already bought a cheap signal generator and I'd like to play with it!
Very detailed review! I would love to have one of these. I'm a software developer and like to tinker with mcus. But without an oscilloscope it is very hard to debug my projects, tons of guesswork :D
Thumbs up for the review.. keep those videos coming :) It could become my first scope and could extend my knowledge and speed up the learning curve in electronics...
Amazed by the protocol decoding. When I had a scope, it was a cheap, portable, single channel type without much more than a trigger! Would love to have a scope, especially one as great as this, as I'm currently scraping by without one. Anyways, love your videos, and keep up the great work!
thanks for the review - the 100MHz bandwidth, the 4 channels, protocol decoders and additional logic probes would be a great improvement over my Rigol 1052; but I see from the comments that some people need it more than I do
This scope would be an upgrade to the one I have. I would use it on my many ham radio and micro-controller projects. You did awesome job on reviewing this scope!
Thanks for the detailed review! I love your videos and I‘m learning alot from you. I never had an osciloscope and would die for winning this great device!!!
As an EECS student this would really come in handy as our school doesn't allow us to check out any oscilloscopes or logic analyzers, and I've been looking at getting my own. Really great looking scope!
As neither I nor the school where I teach have a scope, I bet I could find a good use for it. Either for debugging simple arduino projects or for a more advanced physics experiments. If I win, more than a 100 children will get their first access to a modern piece of measurement equipment, hopefully kindling their interest in STEM subjects.
Thanks for the review! I'm just an electronics hobbyist to counterbalance my IT related work. I'm interested in the oscilloscope to support retro computing repairs, my microcontroller projects and so on. I really like the possibility to decode the protocols and the logic analyzer.
Nice review. This oscilloscope would be a great improvement over my DSO150, which was very cheap (price edited because RUclips thinks my post is an advertisement) but only offers single channel and very basic functionality. I would use it mainly for Arduino and other microcontroller projects. By the way, I am really impressed about your ESP32 project to generate composite video signals, looking forward to a VGA version.
That scope will be a nice addition to my poor mans electronic lab (the only equipment that I have near an oscilloscope it’s a cheap logic analyzer). Keep the good work and I will waiting for the part 2
Looks like a great scope and very good value for money with all the decoders etc. built in. I'd like to use it for watching my low power (coin cell) ATtiny projects as they wake from sleep, read some sensors and then go back to sleep. This way I can check the timing and current draw as well as energy used (math integral function) for each wake up event.
Great and thorough review thank you! I need this scope because i don't have one and can't afford to get one, even the cheapest ones. Budget is not easy when you try and go further into electronic projects.
Wow! That scope has functions that are light years ahead of the JYE Tech DSO Shell scope I built and the cheap digital logic probe that plugs into the USB port on my computer! I'm no where near experienced enough to say what it's best feature is but for me it would be nice to have it's multiple inputs to capture timed events both digital and analog and see the events on the screen at the same time! It really cleans up the work bench to have so much packed into one device. Circuits I design with the EveryCircuit app and others don't always work the same built on a bread board and it would be nice to monitor multiple points during part value substitutions to view the effects on the circuits. This scope has a huge market in the growing hobby electronics community.
Thank you for pointing out the power button light pollution while the unit is "off". That is such an annoying usability anti-pattern and is the kind of thing that would annoy me if the device was in my home lab.
Well informed review! I would love to get this oscilloscope because currently I do not own one. I am a student so I cannot afford to spend that much on a scope. I would use it for a home automation system I am currently developing. This would aid me in being able to turn regular devices into smart devices without major modification.
Thank you. I have a long interest in electronics; my present area is exploration of signal analysis using FFT. I propose to use an oscilloscope to examine basic signal characteristics of generated waveforms.
I am a Geodesy and Geoinformatics student from Hnanover. I would love to have this device, because im planning in building my own digital H0 modeltrain, where every decoder is selfbuild. Also my goal is to use Computervision on an Raspberry Pi, to know, where every train is at every moment. The final step would be to implement an Autopilot with more than one train on each track, since autopiloting/selfdriving cars fit well into my studying area. I have had no oszilloscope so far. keep up your great work. Sincerely Tim Schimansky
Dang, makes me wish I had the cash for one! I just graduated high school and have been slowly getting little bits and pieces of tech from my robotics lab but nothing more complex than a multi-meter. A scope such as this would be a huge boon to what I, and probably my robotics lab as a whole, could make! The logic analyzer seems great for debugging our robots that use a combo of I2C and UART and even CAN sometimes. Especially when noobies forget to send the commands. Thank you for the video!
I'm a computer science student who has been a hobbyist programmer since I was around 15. recently within the past few years I took a class on electronics and was fascinated. I started getting into Arduino and other microprocessors and such, hacking devices and making my own projects. This has been extremely fun and educational for me but I often run into roadblocks like when determining what speed I can push a microcontroller or what protocol something might be using. It is also very hard and frustrating trying to observe what my code does with higher speed signals and such, it's almost impossible. I've wanted a scope for a while now but I can't afford one being the student I am. If I get this scope I would love to share it with EE students or a local makerspace or the like. I know how frustrating it can be without one so I would love to share this tool and help other budding electronic engineers, hobbyists, or makers move forward on their projects and learn a lot in the process. Thank you.
Thanks for the review! I always wanted an oscilloscope :) I had some projects that I couldn't solve some issues and scope would really help debugging those issues.
Very interesting review! Way better than the most other oscilloscope reviews I have seen so far! Thank you :) I would love to use the scope to figure out my problems with my student research (Studienarbeit, ich hoffe das ist die richtige englische Übersetzung). My prototype has a few problems I can not solve, because I don't know if the DAC etc. Is working correctly. I would be really nice to win the scope:)
Standard protocol decoder is very impressive to me. I don't get any major Missing in this scope. All & all its price worthy , & offcours you have explained lots of functions in this video.
If I was to get the oscilloscope I would use it to extend my learning of micro electronics and expand already on my customised home automation software which I have built with help from you. All the best :)
I don't think there is any missing functionality, and the "serial" triggers and decoders seems really cool (maybe not the best features, but clearly one of the most interesting for me). I wanted to change my 1980's oscilloscope for a while, so let's try to get it !
Nice scope! Would be well received on my workbench, specially with the serial decoders and fft functionality. My latest project is building a custom RC control with support to multiple wireless protocols... esp32 will be the main brain and a lot of different ic’s on spi, i2c and serial talking to it. Debugging on a scope instead of print statements is always appreciated!
Excellent video tutorial ! Really great stuff ! Since I was genetically modified to be an computer/electronics nerd this scope would suit me very well. Why I need it ? Well.... I need to analyse signals coming from an older PMR radio programmer (Philips/Simoco) which uses a special dedicated programming cable. That cable looks like a RS-232 and RJ45 combination and is custom made. So no standards here. The software runs on MS-DOS 6.2 and I would like to create an app. that makes it accesible from Windows. Impossible to do without this equipment. Futher more, as a sign of my respect and gratitude when I get this scope, I'll offer you a basket of the best beers in the world. You already knew we have the best beer in the world... ! Well now you're getting close to actually taste a few of them !
I have an old rigol ds1102c, and I do mean old. I paid something like $1200 for it, but it was an incredible deal at the time. There were times I wished for an extra channel. The lcd is failing now, time for a replacement. I was thinking of sticking with rigol and getting the 1054z, but for the little extra money, this siglent seems a better deal. Still, it's less than half what I paid for the 1102c.
I think I bought mine about 3 years ago. My descision to buy was The Price (£450 ish) The Channel count. The Decode already enabled...(awesome) and I like Siglant gear, I have a SDS1102CML (bought first) and a SDG805 gen.... very nice gear What funcionality you get for your hard earned money......
I'm not very well versed on what makes a good scope. Well, not at all, but the bandwidth is what is recommended in several books if you want to be able to make all kinds of repairs and not be limited by your osci. The sampling rate seems great. It's really difficult to decide on an entry-level oscilloscope since you're going to sink a lot of money either way but you just can't make the judgement call of what features you will and won't need. So there is this osci from a competitor that you surely know about which has a known "unofficial upgrade path" so you'll get quite a capable device, but how would a beginner know for example that the probes are up to the task after "upgrading"? I just wish that one of the most important pieces of equipment wouldn't be either a gamble or a money sink. Anyways, keep up the great work :) Apropos... you have quite a bit of videos that I didn't notice before. There goes my time I guess.
Hier! Hier! ;) Great review! Compact and showed all the interesting bits (I2C and UART Decoder, Triggers, X-Y Mode...). I would donate my trusty Rigol to the attraktor Makerspace to make some space for this nice scope. :D
I'm building out my own electronics workshop at home. I'd like to start building sensors and other home automation projects, much like what you did with your ESP8266 projects and Node-RED. An oscilloscope is the last big price item that I don't have yet.
I'm building a MIDI controller for my hardware synths. But it is so hard to troubleshoot when you cant see the signals. This scopes serial protocols features should really make my day.
Very nice scope for the price! Some things I noticed were missing. Dedicated External-Trigger or an Aux-In is a missing hardware feature of this scope. However it may be able to be recreated by eating up a channel and setting a trigger mode manually for that channel. Two features which are desirable and not seen are custom Math functions ( which are possible in software scopes like Rigol and high end scopes such as Rohde & Shwarz, Tektronix, and Keysight). Another feature I don't expect to see are powered probes because this adds a lot of cost to implement in hardware. Thanks for the Video
I would love to own one of these. I'm currently working on several projects where this would be great, particularly for decoding I2C and CAN comms. My old second hand analog scope has died and I miss not having a scope, and this one would be sooo much better.
Like many others, I would put a digital scope to work on fixing my aging synth collection or finishing my mini CRT scope project or.... 4 channels would help with troubleshooting the digital and analogue architecture. Plus look at it - who wouldn't want one.
Ich könnte das Teil ganz gut gebrauchen, weil ich selbst keins besitze. Mein Kumpel, dessen analoges HP ich sonst benutze, würde sich gleich doppelt freuen: 1. gehe ich dem dann nihct mehr auf die Nerven mit meinen Experimenten und 2. könnte der mir dafür auf die Nerven gehen, wenn er das zum Messen haben will. :D Ansonsten bleibt zu sagen, großartiges Review!
Great review, quite the beast to be honest! I could use something like that for sure ;) Uhm, I'd use it to fix the audio receiver I'm listening this with, 35lbs of mid-70's Canadian engineering ! It has developed some issues with time and I'd like to get it all tuned and cleaned up, a bit of stuff is kind of out of wack but more interestingly, and rendering the first part totally irrelevant... build a digital front end for it, replace all the analog pots with rotary encoders and use one of the Audio processing IC (I'm sure I can get one that'll do what I want, or close enough anyway, I've played with some automotive versions before) coupled with some micro-controller to make all this work, adding some digital inputs and all while I'm at it, oh and why not, a stepper for the AM/FM tuner knob :) I might even be able to do something with the 8-track recorder that's built into the thing hehehe ... or ditch it and turn it into a external HDD dock and put an LCD instead of the buttons ... ;) In case you're wondering, Electrohome CS400R. I couldn't pass it when I saw the thing. I really wish I had a damn diagram for it, them using a non-polarized 3 pin connector on a 10 pin header in a dark corner really did screw it up ... Well, practically it's me but shush, it's technically theirs :P
Thank God i subscribed months ago :P Ich träume davon mal ein kleines "Einmann Startup" zu Gründen auf Open-source und Open Hardware basis. Alles mögliche für die imkerliche Praxis. Bienenstock Waagen, "Varroabekämpfung", GPS tracker und so weiter. Da wäre sowas sehr hilfreich (Die Waage steht schon :))
Hi Bitluni, i realy like your channel. The last years of my tinkering getting more and more complex. Sometimes it is very difficult to find errors, and with a multimeter it is not always possible. So i could realy need that scope.RegardsThomas
Would you buy this today over the DS1104S-Z Plus with two channel wave generator and MSO module? This is quite a bit cheaper but has no MSO or wave generator. However it does have canbus triggering which may be important to me. It also looks like the on screen information and the controls might be better on this versus the Rigol.
Great video, I learn a lot. It looks that you have an Rigol too, which one do you prefer the Rigol or the Siglent? Tell me more about your experience working with them. It looks to me that both have same screen size 7", however, it looks to the Siglent use better the space.
My oscilloscope is a 1979 one from eBay for 20 bucks. It's capable of 30Mhz and is good enough for most of all applications. But since I'm into digital electronics, there is no way around a digital oscilloscope. It would be an honor to receive such a device :)
I would really like to call this scope my own because I am currently developing audio visualisation with a 12*12*12 RGB LEDCube. I would need it because I have several uCs communicating with each other to realize that and it would be really helpful for debugging.
Very nice scope, was comparing it with the famous rigol ds1054z. I would like to use this scope for my projects as an EE engineering student Kind regards
Hi, i bought this as my first oscilloscope and I am having an hard time with an issue regarding the trigger function. Would you be available to help me, please. I cant sort the issue by myself. Pleaaase!
I have quite a few idea! First would be a variable frequency drive for my fan, its too loud and fast for night, and I haven't found any other solution (yet) that would be complicated enough to learn something, but easy enough to try. Plus it can be connected to the internet. The problem is, there is too much interrupt, so the signal would be.. not that great... So two mcu, one is interface to wifi, the other is the controller. But how good would be the signal? There comes the scope. And 35263×n+1 other places: Are the two "direction" switched on at the same time? Is there too much space? Is it really a signal I looking for? Etc, etc, etc.. :) Then I'd like to check my switching stuff (like dc-dc converters, usb psu), and your lets do stuff with a fast dac seems very interesting, there'd be quite a few stuff to try to emulate. I had an idea to make an onboard computer for my "bike" (Simson S51). (Yeah, isolation, isolation, and "How to not blow up your scope" :D ) Well, i have quite a few intermitten stuff, so It would be nice to know it is sw, hw, or not that reliable connection type of fault :D
I learn by trial and error and I would love to press those soft sexy illuminated buttons.
Bitluni can you make a cat litterbox project?
Maybe with Wemos and some nema23 motors? Weight sensors and mp3 shield to play sound effects :D
The self cleaning part would be helpful
You won the scope! I need your shipping address... Please contact me on google+ (I added you to my contacts) or any other way I see that it is actually you.

I'm not very well versed on what makes a good scope. Well, not at all, but the bandwidth is what is recommended in several books if you want to be able to make all kinds of repairs and not be limited by your osci. The sampling rate seems great. It's really difficult to decide on an entry-level oscilloscope since you're going to sink a lot of money either way but you just can't make the judgement call of what features you will and won't need.
So there is this osci from a competitor that you surely know about which has a known "unofficial upgrade path" so you'll get quite a capable device, but how would a beginner know for example that the probes are up to the task after "upgrading"? I just wish that one of the most important pieces of equipment wouldn't be either a gamble or a money sink.
Anyways, keep up the great work :)
Apropos... you have quite a bit of videos that I didn't notice before. There goes my time I guess.
Great review. It will be nice to have such device in my home lab.
Great Video.
I would use the scope to further expand my DIY Smart Home System and to analyze devices I take apart.
Thanks for this video. You having great knowledge. I mostly like your wemos videos.
Hier! Hier! ;) Great review! Compact and showed all the interesting bits (I2C and UART Decoder, Triggers, X-Y Mode...). I would donate my trusty Rigol to the attraktor Makerspace to make some space for this nice scope. :D
Great job! Siglent guys would not have made such a great review of their device.
I'm building out my own electronics workshop at home. I'd like to start building sensors and other home automation projects, much like what you did with your ESP8266 projects and Node-RED. An oscilloscope is the last big price item that I don't have yet.
one of the best and most explanatory reviews out there. bitluni do you still use the sds1104x-e or moved to something else?
Good review and nice scope.
I need such a scope for debugging and logic analysing of signals and protocols to be included in my home automation.
I really need this great tool to work on differents electronic projects AND keep my wife happy 😀
I'm building a MIDI controller for my hardware synths. But it is so hard to troubleshoot when you cant see the signals. This scopes serial protocols features should really make my day.
Nice review.
If you had to choose between DZ1054Z and SDS1104X-E, which one would you get?
I'm using only the siglent now. rigol annoys with the locked protocols.. no time to hack it
Great review! I'd love to have such scope for my projects
Great review. It will be nice to have such device.
Very nice scope for the price! Some things I noticed were missing. Dedicated External-Trigger or an Aux-In is a missing hardware feature of this scope. However it may be able to be recreated by eating up a channel and setting a trigger mode manually for that channel. Two features which are desirable and not seen are custom Math functions ( which are possible in software scopes like Rigol and high end scopes such as Rohde & Shwarz, Tektronix, and Keysight). Another feature I don't expect to see are powered probes because this adds a lot of cost to implement in hardware. Thanks for the Video
it has external trigger on the back I think
I would love to own one of these. I'm currently working on several projects where this would be great, particularly for decoding I2C and CAN comms. My old second hand analog scope has died and I miss not having a scope, and this one would be sooo much better.
Like many others, I would put a digital scope to work on fixing my aging synth collection or finishing my mini CRT scope project or.... 4 channels would help with troubleshooting the digital and analogue architecture. Plus look at it - who wouldn't want one.
Thank you for the review. I liked the detail. Did the logic analyzer work well for you? TY
i would need this scope for little analog electronics/radio repairs i do as a hobby. a large screen would help a lot!
Ich könnte das Teil ganz gut gebrauchen, weil ich selbst keins besitze. Mein Kumpel, dessen analoges HP ich sonst benutze, würde sich gleich doppelt freuen: 1. gehe ich dem dann nihct mehr auf die Nerven mit meinen Experimenten und 2. könnte der mir dafür auf die Nerven gehen, wenn er das zum Messen haben will. :D Ansonsten bleibt zu sagen, großartiges Review!
I have 1104X-E and I'm planning to buy LA, i was not able to find review of LA as you said in the beginning of video
Great review, quite the beast to be honest! I could use something like that for sure ;)
Uhm, I'd use it to fix the audio receiver I'm listening this with, 35lbs of mid-70's Canadian engineering !
It has developed some issues with time and I'd like to get it all tuned and cleaned up, a bit of stuff is kind of out of wack
but more interestingly, and rendering the first part totally irrelevant...
build a digital front end for it, replace all the analog pots with rotary encoders and use one of the Audio processing IC (I'm sure I can get one that'll do what I want, or close enough anyway, I've played with some automotive versions before) coupled with some micro-controller to make all this work, adding some digital inputs and all while I'm at it, oh and why not, a stepper for the AM/FM tuner knob :)
I might even be able to do something with the 8-track recorder that's built into the thing hehehe
... or ditch it and turn it into a external HDD dock and put an LCD instead of the buttons ... ;)
In case you're wondering, Electrohome CS400R. I couldn't pass it when I saw the thing. I really wish I had a damn diagram for it, them using a non-polarized 3 pin connector on a 10 pin header in a dark corner really did screw it up ... Well, practically it's me but shush, it's technically theirs :P
Thank God i subscribed months ago :P Ich träume davon mal ein kleines "Einmann Startup" zu Gründen auf Open-source und Open Hardware basis. Alles mögliche für die imkerliche Praxis. Bienenstock Waagen, "Varroabekämpfung", GPS tracker und so weiter. Da wäre sowas sehr hilfreich (Die Waage steht schon :))
I like signal capturing part of this oscilloscope and I would like to make use of this oscilloscope during my workshop college programs
Thank you. This oscilloscope look great :-)
I need this scope honestly because I don't have one at all.
This would be a great update from my Soundcard Scope :)
I need the scope to see what's inside it. And maybe for some experiments.
Hi Bitluni, i realy like your channel. The last years of my tinkering getting more and more complex. Sometimes it is very difficult to find errors, and with a multimeter it is not always possible. So i could realy need that scope.RegardsThomas
wow, I need an entire degree just to know how to use this thing! I had no idea all the stuff it can do
It looks very much like Rigol DS1054Z. Nice review.
You didn't show how to use wavesignal generator. I couldn't find it.
I need for my electronic project. I don't have once so it will be great to have this.
Would you buy this today over the DS1104S-Z Plus with two channel wave generator and MSO module?
This is quite a bit cheaper but has no MSO or wave generator. However it does have canbus triggering which may be important to me. It also looks like the on screen information and the controls might be better on this versus the Rigol.
I am studying mechatronics and i am really interested in electronics. All i need is a oscilloscope to test my electronics projects :)
Thanks for the review, I'm studying electronics and I don't have one yet 😊
Great video, I learn a lot. It looks that you have an Rigol too, which one do you prefer the Rigol or the Siglent? Tell me more about your experience working with them. It looks to me that both have same screen size 7", however, it looks to the Siglent use better the space.
Very informative. My question is where is the "Add" feature (Inputs X and Y).
why didn't you mention the bode plot function?
My oscilloscope is a 1979 one from eBay for 20 bucks. It's capable of 30Mhz and is good enough for most of all applications. But since I'm into digital electronics, there is no way around a digital oscilloscope. It would be an honor to receive such a device :)
I would use it for developing open source hardware. Btw great video!
I would really like to call this scope my own because I am currently developing audio visualisation with a 12*12*12 RGB LEDCube. I would need it because I have several uCs communicating with each other to realize that and it would be really helpful for debugging.
I'm a pretty much a starter in electronics. So unfortunately I don't have a scope. But sometimes it could be very useful to see what did I do wrong.
Very nice scope, was comparing it with the famous rigol ds1054z. I would like to use this scope for my projects as an EE engineering student
Kind regards
Hi, i bought this as my first oscilloscope and I am having an hard time with an issue regarding the trigger function. Would you be available to help me, please. I cant sort the issue by myself. Pleaaase!
I have quite a few idea! First would be a variable frequency drive for my fan, its too loud and fast for night, and I haven't found any other solution (yet) that would be complicated enough to learn something, but easy enough to try. Plus it can be connected to the internet. The problem is, there is too much interrupt, so the signal would be.. not that great... So two mcu, one is interface to wifi, the other is the controller. But how good would be the signal? There comes the scope. And 35263×n+1 other places: Are the two "direction" switched on at the same time? Is there too much space? Is it really a signal I looking for? Etc, etc, etc.. :)
Then I'd like to check my switching stuff (like dc-dc converters, usb psu), and your lets do stuff with a fast dac seems very interesting, there'd be quite a few stuff to try to emulate. I had an idea to make an onboard computer for my "bike" (Simson S51). (Yeah, isolation, isolation, and "How to not blow up your scope" :D )
Well, i have quite a few intermitten stuff, so It would be nice to know it is sw, hw, or not that reliable connection type of fault :D
Hi, can you do the logic analyzer review please. I can't decide whether to buy it or go with one of the PC types.
It would be nice to have a Bode plot that is adjustable. Frequency could be then looked at as well.
