content: Hey everyone, I'm new here,I'm a software engineer, and lately, I've been playing with some electronics,I would like some help picking my first oscilloscope.I'll be doing mostly audio circuits(guitar pedals) and some Arduino(& stm32, esp32) projects,I'm a little confused between those models:Hantek:DSO2C10, 2C15, 2D10, 2D15, DSO5102Por one of the handheld ones, such asDSO DS213.The DS213 is compact and has four channels (and it's cheap), but I see lots of comments saying it's a toy,so I started looking at the Hantek ones, and I got completely lost between all the models...which one would you suggest for my needs?Thanks!

content: DSO5102P - Last Gen model (2016?) - Dual ADC, so keeps full 1Gsps sample rate on both channels.DSO2D15 - Newest Hantek Models (2020), Successor to DSO5102P Series - Cost / price savings in simpler design and components, but more advanced Capture engine with more memory. Overall Lower power usage needing only passive cooling, No noisy cooling fans in the unitSingle, larger more advanced ADC and FPGA, but splits the sample rate between the channels when both are enabled. Software is still a work in progress, but is showing improvements with each update they release.C-Models Basic Oscilloscope without Wave Gen featureDSO2C10 - 100MhzDSO2C15 - 150MhzD-Models include Wave Gen Features.DSO2D10 - 100MhzDSO2D15 - 150Mhz (Includes extra set of croc clips)We've had some discussion and a few teardown pics:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/new-hantek-dso2x1x-models/

content: If you want to make the right choice, you should read the datasheet of these scope first, and in order to understanding those features, you should spent much time to understand the usage of those feature, and then spent much more time to read and compare those complicated specs behind the features!I guess, maybe one or more years later, after you understanding those details, you can balance the performance cost and your habit, to make the most suitable choice.if you think it's too boring and waste of time.In the other hand, just go to amazon and purchase one of the most popular one based on your bugget, and then enjoy it!and if it's not a good choice, go to purchase an more expensive one after selling the first one.Honest to God, I'm joking

content: Hello, I have a Rigol DS1054z, released in all its functions, including 100Mhz, and I am left over, I am now working on a project with a couple of esp32s, and it is going very well, I do not regret having bought it in February 2018.

content: Of the Hantek models I would recommend DSO2D10 with the function generator. We have yet to identify the additional advantage and hardware design difference of the DSO2D15 besides including a "faster" pp-150b probe and an additional set of Croc clips. The 10 model includes the same board as the 15, they're even marked as DSO2D15 boards. Unless there is a difference in the Front End, or the ADC chip model as discussed in the other thread. The 100Mhz remains many orders of magnitude faster than any current arduino signals.Of course for any serious work, always push for that little bit extra budget for a bit more than an entry level scope. But so far it's hard to beat the features / price of this new model for the casual user.I was testing out my DSO2D15 with an basic 555 timer clock into a decade counter to sequence control some different color LEDs, i overclocked the 555 then brown out the power supply (simulate low battery) until it became unstable. The Hantek has no problems clearly showing the intermittent high frequency 15ns glitchs in the clock.

content: If theDSO2D10can get the job done, I'll start looking for a good deal on that.Thanks!update: I ordered it, it should be here by march 03
