Dave tears down the new US$399 Rigol 4 channel 50MHz DS1054Z oscilloscope.
How can they get such incredible value for the price?

Done.
I still use this after seven years, works flawlessly. I have hacked it with all the upgrades so the price/performance is just fantastic.
Hi Dave, those Chinese characters are the colors of the cables that should go there (for the assembly) and I think they have been installed correctly, color corresponding to character so that's good!
Complimenti per la esposizione di questo oscilloscopio : peccato che non è in lingua italiana .
What is the modern equivalent?
I'd buy from Emona any day, and plan to.
They've been in EA since at least the late 60s when I started reading it 🙂
Having run scopes since tubes were king, I, like you, are simply amazed at the value. Even though I'm retired and have little use, I had to have one of these low cost miracles.
Other comment… the datasheet of the HMCAD1511 states that it is an 8-bit ADC but the spec of the DS1054Z states a max vertical resolution of 12-bit. Can anyone confirm this, please?
The bird may be a common chaffinch or an eurasian bullfinch, a thin one, at that.
Thank you very much for this teardown video. Maybe the dig potentiometers and the quad opamp placed on the same layer are for the trigger…
I was thinking to buy one and modify it at will for some personal extended functionalities. The cost is the reason why this one instead of a big 2GHz/40GSps!
BTW, what do you think of the DS1074Z, so a bit more bandwidth and above all the logic analyzer part? Is it worth the difference of price, quite huge gap from my point of view?
The Chinese characters on the PSU board are just color codes for the wires.
very interested in purchasing …
The Chinese characters next to the wires are the color descriptions of the wire that goes into that it’s respective connection on the board.
Is the DS1054Z still the best entry level scope in 2021?
Excuse me, What is the size of the star screwdriver for tear down the Oscilloscope?
Thanks. Nice review and clearly a nice design on their part
what is the dimeter of the fan ?
Thanks god we have China, for people who likes technology.
So after all this time, do you still recommend it or id there something better now?
They name it Rigol Bird because there is a lot of white KAKA inside oscilloscope.
I love high-quality Chinese electronics, too bad about the cheap capacitors but the rest of that is beautifully made.
