    Gawd, he does whine! I like Dave, but the high-pitched whiney voice drives me up the wall!

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Pietras says:

    Appreciate the guidance and in depth review – still trying to pick between the plethora of choices out there for digital oscilloscopes and this has been a really great channel!

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fidelis Unum says:

    I just bought one of these. The serial decoding functionality is nice, but I was wondering if there's a way for this scope to decode UART. I only see RS232, SPI, and I2C in the settings

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alopa says:

    Ridiculous for a beginner. One month of full time to learn how to operate. Non intuitive. Need 2 % of functionality for use in audio analog applications. Blah Blah Blah.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr. Ograv says:

    This was one of the best reviews of the Rigol I could find & for any scope on Utube, for that matter. Sincerely, Thank you!
    I can't wait until you film a teardown of a crusty headlamp. Now that will be even more valuable. Just as sincerely, but in a different vein.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Trying to learn says:

    What is the usage of intensity grade of the display?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MH says:

    Can I have different steps other than 1, 2, 5 for time/DIV (horizontal axis), for example 30 ms per step? How about the vertical axis?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RB Blackstone says:

    I an happy with my 1054z. I do wish the software was open source. I would like to have dBu and dBV along with volts RMS. I bet they would sell a lot more if it was the Arduino of scopes.

    I do understand that a Python hack could work. Still, open source would allow you to change the font, too.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Novickis says:

    even 7 years later nothing has improved on the ultrascope "software"

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steven Bliss says:

    I love this scope, BUT the lack of Trigger In is Unforgiveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Walde says:

    This scope is absolutely worth it, the thing has such massive community support which is vital when you're a total newbie, if you buy those weird chinese scopes with seemingly randomly generated brand names you're lucky if you're even going to find a single search result that isn't the sales listing itself so you would struggle with finding answers to anything since every scope is different.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Pontificates says:

    I just bought this to replace my 15+ year Tektronix scope. I haven't received it yet, but I'm disappointed that it's Chinese. I try to AVOID buying high dollar Chinese stuff.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ethzero says:

    Bought a Rigol 1054Z in Jan '22 off the back of this, a few other of Dave's videos, and his forum (which detailed the way to "enhance" the scope 😏).

    I bought a BitScope some years ago and it's "OK" for VERY basic use but not a good platform for education. In contrast, in the 11 months I've been using this DSO I've learnt SO much about primarily because of it's performance and it's vast support online. To this day, I'm still ploughing discovering useful features.

    Very happy with the purchase, cheers Dave!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LALORTECH says:

    Hi All, I am looking to buy a Rigol DS1054Z Oscilloscope, does anyone know if the new ones are still hackable?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ozzy3333333 says:

    Enter Bloody fake info! Lol
    Was all good till he got to the software!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Amrish Hirani says:

    Very well explained 👏
    Thanks

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars topquark22 says:

    Is RIGOL a Tektronix brand? I noticed that both companies are based in Beaverton, OR.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars topquark22 says:

    Nice review. I have a 2-channel Hantek scope that serves me fine for the moment. If I ever need to upgrade, then your advice is valuable.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Harris says:

    Which is better as a first scope please, a 50MHz 4 channel or a 100MHz 2 channel?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars stefansk8 says:

    Is the Rigol DS1054Z still worth to buy new today?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Maughan says:

    Best, most comprehensive review I have seen!
    BUT what is the upper limit on the hardware frequency counter?

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Edward Neuman says:

    I remember back in the early eighties I payed 400-500 USD for a 4 Mhz analog B&K scope with 2 channels. For the same price this scope is awesome!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Graeme Harker says:

    Great video! Loved “dicking around” and other wonderful Australianisms.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Botox Pig says:

    Lots of mouthwork in your videos …

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mo B says:

    very interested in purchasing …

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yodji suzuki says:

    Any way to remove left and right panels on screen

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike says:

    Is this still a good scope for a beginner?

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gunther Mampaey says:

    I upgraded my 1052E to 100Mhz. It's software, and software is upgradable…

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sundar says:

    Its possible travel with oscilloscope in flight please answare me
