- In this video I take a hobbyist's approach to a review of the OWON VDS6102A 14-bit USB oscilloscope. The thing can punch above its weight class and arguably is better than the Rigol DS1054Z - that is, if you only need 2 channels. This is a competent little unit and definitely worth a looksee!
These scopes have become pretty hard to find at the time of posting!
Owon USB scope:
This one is the 8-bit version:

This is the exact 14 bit version I have:

The noise looks minimal on the display! Looks great for a USB-type scope. I'd be interested in what the hold-off and triggering look like with complex or fast type signals.
At $280 that's not awful, but I'm with you and would recommend a bench-type scope.
Very nice it reminds me of a picoscope
I don't know why, but your voice is extremely soothing to hear! Great job! What about the probes though do they do their job well?
Looks like missing FFT feature. Will they add it?
Why are you AC coupling for the sine wave?
Does it have FFT functionality?
Can it do bode plots with the built in signalgen?
It would be nice if it could do those functions with the 14bit resolution.
no waveform math and no FFT, their 25MHz model seems to have that though
Ac coupled 1/2 hz ? Better use dc coupling.
Oh and please show the 14bit resolution ( zoom into signal and see least significant bits).
Good idea, thanks!
@@SimpleElectronics Yeah, with AC coupling you get a lower frequency limit usually around 10Hz, it should be in the specifications
What about 14 bit resolution? Is it real?
Hello, are you still happy with this device? Have you discovered any "issues" or flaws? Thanks for the review!!! Great job! Stay healthy!
So far so good - you have to find it for a good price though, at the time of posting the video, the price was through the roof - keep in mind it IS a fairly high-end USB scope
Great review but I just looked at the price for the VDS6102A on Ali and it's just shy of 500 quid ! way to much for a 100Mhz 2 channel scope unless its got a party trick we haven't seen besides the Sig Gen, but thanks for the review and I look forward to seeing the alternatives, probally just setup but the signal displayed on the UNI T bore no resemblance to the waveform displayed on the scope ? the displayed signal was far more complex and nasty looking ! am I missing something please ?....cheers.
The price is a bit out to lunch - availability dropped since I got it, and so the price went up - it was under 400$ Canadian when I first got it. The waveform shape is hard to figure out - it could be the sig gen or the scope - but I think it has to do with the cabling - I have to look into it more
@@SimpleElectronics Haha yes it is ! and it could well be cables, I'm glad you didn't pay that much though and once again thanks for the review..........cheers.
@@SimpleElectronics now it's around 700€ (~1050$ CAD) ... 😅 I'll think I'll stick to the way cheaper hantek 😅
@@drfailbucket the price skyrocketed recently, probably due to availability concerns, give it a week or two, it will be back to about 400$ CAD
Does not work!!!!!!!!!!! Communication ERROR!!!!!!!!! ?
What does USB - Driver - Output to PC mean on Win 10?
Currently $706. That's insane.
It's like 400$ at digikey, places like BG and Ali/EBay are quite variable on price
I just bought the VDS6104A for €375 at Eleshop.
takr a barrel jack over that crap micr usb anyday.
