Quality


Good oscilloscope for my use case, which is fundamental physics research.


It has everything you need to start immediately and makes it easy to tune the probes with a little tool that allows you to use ...  Read More


I like the features and portability of this unit but as usual the "made in china" owners manual is barely readable and useless.


2) no differential inputs - you can't ch1 - ch2 so measuring non-isolated ac sections of things is a bad idea.

Price


The price is definitely a value for everything this little unit can do.


An outstanding value, especially when it was on sale.


Buy in the end, it's a great produce for the cost.


In the old days a scope like this would cost over a $1k.

Shipping


Shipping was prompt and the package arrived as scheduled.


This little oscilloscope could have survived about any incident i can imagine it having to possibly go through during shipping.

Packaging/appearance


Not easy to figure out how to use it but it is a nice package and fun to use.

Competitiveness


This product is very similar looking to many other unknown brands.


This is a case of "any scope is better than no scope".


I have not tried any other scopes at this price point so will not comment on comparison.


If you're in the market for a basic oscilloscope, consider this one, or even use it as a reference point when comparing with ot...  Read More

    So far the only negative attribute is that the output potential of the signal generator isnt adjustable from its rated 2v pp

    For use in guitar amplifiers i need a much lesser input in mv


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i will probably have to add a stand alone signal generator to my list of equipment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But i was aware of this feature when i bought it so i wont detract from my rating for it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I havent had the opportunity to try it out in actual signal tracing yet as im waiting for load ballast resistors to arrive but i have no compulsions to think it will do anything but serve me well at this point


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have an electronics background but relatively little experience using handson gear


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I found this challenging to use without consulting the manual but that is mostly because i had no idea what i was doing
