We like the Rigols.I recently acquired a Siglenthttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XZML6RD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1and gave it to one of my engineers. I'll ask him how he likes it.It has an up-front DEFAULT button, which a digital scope needs to getyou out of nightmare states.

If you want to save the last penny, maybe. But you can get way better scope
for slightly more -- Rigol DHO800/DHO900. It is 12-bit, same 550uV/div, has
all standard serial protocols decoding, very light and compact, can work
from a battery with USB-C power connector, way better than that Siglent that
feels like relic next to those DHOs.

We use almost all Rigols at work. My slow bench scope is a 500 MHz

I also have one, 11801C. Couple of SD-24s, SD-20, and SD-22 heads :)

At the original purchase price, adjusted for inflation, I must have
half a million dollars worth of sampling heads.

The color grading and jitter measurement is great on the 11801C, but
the old B+W screens photograph better.

I'll miss my 11802 when it eventually dies.

The TDR is great. I'm going to give my new kids a lecture on

It is apparently possible these days to get an EE degree and be

You're impossible to talk too. Your only motivation is to insult.

My idea of good conversation is a group of people playing with ideas
and inventing stuff together. "Egoless" is the word, as in "egoless
programming."

I don't think you can do that. Some people are too fragile.
