Amazing to seeing these double-digit EEVBlogs for the first time, seeing Dave evolve from a softly spoken, warranty avoiding guy in to the lovable knife welding, warranty voiding bloke a thousand videos later 😜
Does anyone ever test these types of ADCs at various crock speeds and quantify their performance? Or do the electrical engineers just have to try it for themselves and see if it works at that clock speed? I'm curious what the primary bottleneck is that limits the specified speed for an ADC. I guess it's either the A, the D, or the C.
I want to buy this one: Rigol DS1074Z-S Plus . Need more $$ !! This is a very interesting post, and since Dave still backs them, I will try my best to get it. Has a built-in sig-gen , beauty! P.S. I have now noticed my speech is beginning to be peppered with Aussie phrases after watching lots of EEV blogs!
Catching up on the older videos. I also thought it was funny to not hear "Don't turn it on, take it apart!". Thanks Dave! Love the videos. I have learned so much from watching your videos.
So AD test their chips to see which ones are candidates for overclocking, and those are the ones that go in the fastest scopes. Maybe Rigol have a similar procedure with complete scopes. The ones that stand overclocking without dangerous overheating get the 200MHz rating. This makes a potential problem for those who decide to hack the lower models into fast ones. Their chip set may not be really up to the task, resulting in an early death of the scope. Just something to think about.
I underclock my PC. I don't notice any change in speed, and it runs cool and quiet.
…also it might be useful to note that sometimes, some unscrupulous copycat manufacturers make copies of legitimate designs and to hide what they've done they scrub the legend off the components.
I'm not an electronics buff, but i do remember that it was common knowledge that some PC-CPUs, (particularly the Intel Pentium I series) chips were all actually manufactured the same, only they got tested and graded later on before they were labelled/legended with thier apparrent clock rate. Its cheaper to make more of the same than several variations. Maybe Rigol realised some similar situation with these and tested the cheaper ones themselves to see if they could perform reliably in thier particular application. Theres certainly plenty of breathing space in the casing and internal design (which is good).
You looked better 12 years ago

That's a really neat solution to getting 1GHz out of 100MHz!! Wow!

Overclocked oscilloscope? Shit, call Linus Tech Tips!
🍕
I like the fake chest hairs on your T-shirt Dave – A Bondi chest, far from Manly LOL 🙂
Hey, insult my wife or religion but don't insult my oscilloscope.

Dave was so calm back then…Its like watching Bob Ross. ..
First time I've ever seen Dave afraid of a void warranty sticker.
Does anyone know about Oscilloscope modules that use a PC's screen? How well do they work and what are the best ones?
Now put a liquid nitrogen cooler on the ADC and overclock it even more
If I watched this last year, I'd get depressed, now I can understand everything and IT IS GLORIOUS
don't take it apart, turn it on

Dave didn't broke the warranty void tape 😮
Watching all of them 🙂
Thanks
Ahh lol the old days when Dave cared about warranty
Is a 4g/s 100Mhz better than a 1G/s 300Mhz or 2G/s 400-500Mhz ????!

I think you get what you pay for. I would rather buy an old techtronics scope or a new hp scope of this brand.
I see four channels on the AD9228? Look at the diagram on the first page of the data sheet?
Did Rigol respond to your letter?
well, the result of this video is the guy who does the marking scrub got fired.
