Very good. Slightly more instrument and higher price than most hobbyists would need
I got this mixed-signal scope to watch multiple digital channels in parallel, and it seemed to be a good general purpose analog-input scope with high bandwidth, lots of memory, and comprehensive, mature PC software. It is all those things. Expensive compared to some other PC oscilloscopes, but it's a complete package with high input bandwidth. The software is very, very fast - no lags or sluggishness, if you have a fast PC. The software based triggering is absolutely great. The spectrum analyzer works well (but you should know a little sampling theory). The internal wave generator is pretty clean although with some distortion at high frequencies. Sweep feature is useful for verifying filter characteristics or amplifier linearity. This device uses 8-bit ADCs, so with a little noise in the input, it has effective resolution of 1/128th of full scale (not 1/256th). If you want to analyze audio systems in detail, you'd probably wish for 10 or 12 bits of resolution. On the other hand, this device can average multiple, repeating waveforms and get, in effect, several more bits of resolution that way. Waveforms look very clean when using that feature. And the speed of the ADCs counts for a lot.On the whole, if you want a PC-based oscilloscope, this is a good choice; the price is targeted more toward the professional end of the market than for hobbyists. If it had 12 bit ADCs for this price, it would be an outstanding product. As it is, very good. Would buy again.
