Rigol MSO5204

2.0

When measuring an 32kHz RTC crystal frequency, the measurement bounces around 1%. The scope counter mode can measure frequency accurately if you adjust the trigger just right. My old scope has no problem with the same signal. The scope may have problems with 100X probes; the signal appears to jitter up and down, and has problems with triggering. Regarding the free software update, I requested the secret code 3 days ago from their website, called and asked for the code every day, and I still have not go it. Consider your buying options.

Expensive but works

4.0

Its quite expensive for what it is, there are some diy type altenatives you can use if you cant afford it. if you can its a quality piece that work well.

No issues. Works as expected.

Works fine. Seems a bit lightly made. One improvement would be to include a few extra pico-probes. They are delicate and will probably have some failures with time/use.

Integrates well with the Waveform Features.

The probe runs hot, but aside from that, I have no complaints. I've used digital signals as a trigger to look at analog signals and the sync is quite stable. Highly recommended.

Good quality, but over-priced

4.0

From the limited testing I have done, this probe seems to be fairly good quality, but in I think it's a little over-priced for what you get, unless you purchase it in the bundle with the oscilloscope.

A must have

If you are taking full advantyage of your MSO5000 scopes digital logic feature. then you need these probes. Great for debugging digital circuits and decoding serial communications (SPI, I2C, etc).;

Works well, Mitigate your cross-talk

Properly grounding and seating the logic probe results in better waveforms, the colored tags are a good touch, but the stickers do fall off.

Great Midrange Personal Scope

5.0

RIGOL firmware upgrades over the years have made it a lot more stable and the scope is a great value. I'm still putting it through its paces and occasionally will get a software lockup, but the UI is readable, the screen is large, and there is enough customization with the features on screen to see what I need to.

wonderful

A big step up from the DS1054Z I've been using for years. Note it does run hotter than I expected, but still within spec.

Good but labels fall off

4.0

The cable works well, but I have to reglue the occasional sticker label now and then, they fall off easily. Stamped labels of different colored pastic would be better.

This is a very nice add-on for the MSO5000 instrument. The ability to look at a complete digital bus helps to resolve issues fast

At first glance, this looks like an amazing instrument. Features and functionality seem pretty good and look and feel solid. I do have some an issue with oscillations on channels 1 and 2 during the first 2 hours of the day but currently working with Rigol to resolve this.

A little pricey, but I didn't have to make it.

5.0

Seems to be of fair quality, comes with plenty of wires and micro grabbers. you could build one, but what is your time worth? Save some money and buy it as a combo KIT with your scope. I did.
