About not being able to read frequency from the FFT (mentioned at 5:30 in the video): I have a GDS-1062A whose FFT display looks the same as this, with no displayed frequency scale factor. However, if you turn on the cursor measurements, you can place one of the cursors on a peak on the FFT and the cursor display will tell you the frequency. I'll bet the GDS-1052 behaves the same way. It's still not a great FFT display, but you can read frequency from it.
Very glad to see you after a very very long time dear sir! Great video. I want to know whether this scope is able to pick up and show 1Hz sin wave signal as a continuous sin wave we could draw on a piece of paper? As my old days analogue scope can't do that. Although I am able to get the idea of the signal but could not review it. Regards,
I recently bought the Siglent SDS1102CML (£275) because of yours and others recommendations. I am thoroughly pleased with it. After a a couple of plays with it I noticed it was very sluggish in screen updates, I thought I had bust it for second but pressing default cleared the problem so it must have been my messing around selecting this that and the other. I seems it was when I selected Averaging. I got a slow response like you did. I might just add too, when you selected FFT, you had a signal displaying only one cycle of the sign wave, this would have meant the sample rate was too low to be used in the FFT mode wouldn't it?.
Its me !. I am an old fashion engineer who opened his eyes on HAMEG 203 but I am still using my dear analog oscilloscope HP 1740 for all purposes efficiently. Yes Sir , it is the real time scoping feature for time and flat amplitude.

Thanks for your insights to these type of scopes.
5:50 seeing this response pattern I would guess the scope was still set to averaging

It looks like a primitive scope compared to the Rigol. It's something I would expect from 2002.
Helped a lot. Thank you
For the ratio quality/price, nothing can beat the RIGOL 1054Z.

Nice video. At this price point the Hanteck and Owon scopes beat any old CRO scopes hand down. Can't understand why anyone would buy an old scope.

Hi Jack,
I've been looking at the Instek GDS-1054B or the Rigol 1054Z . . . Any Opinions on those (2) Models ?
Thanks for your Videos
T. Meyers which one did you get, how do you like it?
AS there are better scopes out now for great prices
Obrigado. Pela explicação. Abraços
feels good
