RIGOL DS1202Z-E Digital Oscilloscope, 200MHz Bandwidth, 2 Analog Channels, 24Mpts Memory Depth, 1G Sa/s Sampling Rate, Free Trigger and Decoding Functions, 3 Years Warranty

customers should know a 200MHZ oscilloscope only covers up to 40MHZ in reality ! A 1GHZ scope only covers up to 200MHZ.

I'm lost for words. For a few hundred pounds you can buy an oscilloscope that matches the heart's desire of every electronics hobbyist. It's got the lot. Two channels versus time, or X/Y for Lissajous figures, good range on both time and voltage, goes up to alarmingly high frequencies, measures every parameter you can imagine on a waveform, and being a storage oscilloscope, no problem with transients etc.; averaging of multiple shots, triggering in every way imaginable, and frequency analysis too, plus integration of the area under the signal, or differentiation for slope measurements. And a very good frequency counter too. It's really hard to think of anything this scope can't do. It feels quality too, sturdy and well-made, and yet it won't take up too much space. The enormous amount of functionality is all fairly accessible through well laid-out menus and front panel controls. Yes, with all that stuff going on, you're going to spend a few hours with the instructions (which are online, not in the box) working out how to use it. But it's all logically arranged. This really is a product that Rigol should be proud of.

Everything came as expected and well packaged. In Use - I bought this expecting a bandwidth of 200MHz as advertised but as with others I've tried there is a catch, others would not let me turn off 20MHz bandwidth limit and Rigol DS1202z-e won't allow turning off Sin(x)/x which is absolutely no good working with fast DAC's/Digital. I Contacted Rigol(EU) and they were quite responsive but with very unhelpful replies, the first being had I tried pressing the sin(x)/x button as an answer to asking why it would not turn off (first thing I tried! ) Email continued, trying to resolve the issue but to no avail, several emails later they suddenly stopped after my stating my logic process that led me to believe that the hardware would not handle anything above 10MHz with decent results. I've kept it as the cursor measurements etc. are things my old analogue scope could not do and I cant find anything in this price range that will do as stated BW wise.( Had it a few months now ) in short it wasn't a choice to keep it but defeat in finding something that did what it said it would. Also the supplied probes are as you'd imagine, great if you need a couple of expensive antennas. So overall if you only deal with analogue signals below 10MHz it would be ok but definitely not for high speed digital, I was at the start of equipment acquisition but Rigol won't see any more orders from me as their specifications can not be trusted.

Lo adquirí para sustituir mi antiguo siglent de 100 MHz. Funciona muy bien y con tremendas prestaciones, pudiendo hacer visibles señales mucho más allá de los 200 MHz. Se hechan de menos un par de prestaciones que absurdamente Rigol no ha incorporado y que vía software sería algo muy fácil de hacer. * Un salvapantallas que deje en negro el LCD tras un tiempo o con algo que se vaya moviendo. La pantalla siempre está encendida. * Una opción que permita visualización a pantalla completa. Es decir que podamos ampliar el área de pantalla al desactivar la barra de herramientas izquierda y derecha dejando a "full screen" la forma de onda con los valores seleccionados sobreexpuestos en la pantalla. Por lo demás está genial, todos los botones y perillas dan muy buena sensación y de calidad. Se agradece además que la pantalla sea mate antirreflejo, es muy bueno esto para un instrumento de laboratorio

Perfect for the money

Reçu dans le délai prévu il fonctionne très bien je l’ai contrôlé il m’a affiché 144,525 MHZ il fonctionne bien jusqu’à 200 MHZ

Sono trascorsi due anni dall’acquisto del mio RIGOL DS1202Z‑E e posso confermare che si è dimostrato uno strumento estremamente valido per l’uso quotidiano in laboratorio. La banda passante da 200 MHz, il sample rate fino a 1 GSa/s e la memoria di acquisizione profonda consentono analisi molto più dettagliate rispetto agli oscilloscopi analogici tradizionali. La possibilità di salvare direttamente le schermate su USB e di controllare lo strumento tramite UltraScope da PC semplifica notevolmente il flusso di lavoro, soprattutto quando si devono documentare misure o confrontare forme d’onda nel tempo. I trigger avanzati, la decodifica dei bus digitali e la rapidità di aggiornamento del display rendono l’analisi dei segnali molto più efficiente. Ho deciso di affiancarlo al mio storico UNAOHM G4020 da 20 MHz, un oscilloscopio analogico che possiedo dagli anni ’80 e che funziona ancora perfettamente. Nonostante la sua affidabilità, il salto generazionale offerto dal RIGOL è evidente: maggiore precisione, funzioni di misura automatiche, memorie, salvataggi, interfacce moderne e una versatilità che l’analogico, per quanto robusto, non può offrire. L’upgrade si è rivelato pienamente giustificato e non ho alcun rimpianto: il DS1202Z‑E è diventato il mio strumento principale per la diagnostica e lo sviluppo elettronico.

The RIGOL DS1000Z-E Series is an absolute gem for anyone who needs a reliable, feature-packed oscilloscope. The 7-inch display is bright and clear, making it easy to analyze waveforms, and the UltraVision technology is a game-changer. The deep memory depth and real-time waveform recording let me dig into the details without missing a beat. It’s packed with features you’d expect from higher-priced models, like multiple trigger types, FFT functions, and even waveform playback. The controls are intuitive, and I had no trouble getting it set up and running. For the price, this scope is an unbeatable deal—I’d recommend it to hobbyists and professionals alike!
