*Please note that a new firmware version has been made available since the recording of this video which addresses some of the issues I found in my review. Make sure you update your scope!*
I bought the RTB2004 based on this review. After two years, it has been the best scope I've ever used (sold my Tek). At the time it cost $4K, a very reasonable price.
FYI, if you want to change the "Edu. Mode" button, just press the small gear icon directly above the center vertical graticule. This allows you to select which shortcut buttons to have in the top-left toolbar.
This unit would be the become the centerpiece of my bench and so I would love to be considered for the draw. And thank you for showing such generosity to your viewers!
Nice, in depth review. What else can we ask for? (except for Santa to enter me in the draw) Good luck to those who entered and thanks for reviewing Shahriar.
Great review. This is by far one of the better reviews on a new scope I've seen in a great while. Please keep up the good work. I too would love to be considered to receive this scope. Thanks again.
You are obstructing the view ;) The image of all that test gear and the painting would make a great motivational poster. And yes, include me in the draw.
Seems like a really nice piece of equipment! Of course I would also like to be included in the draw. I must say, I really enjoy these high quality reviews, so keep up the good work!
Great review as always Shahriar, got excited for the review when I saw it lurking in the background of your BK Precision repair. As a first scope this would make the perfect Christmas present - please include me in your draw!
As a poor Canadian student who has been saving pennies for a (far inferior) scope, receiving this R&S would be an incredible help. Please enter me in the draw! Thank you, both for the draw and for all of the amazing content that you create.
Wow, I don't have anything as useful or sophisticated as the R&S RTB2004 on my bench. It would be extremely beneficial in helping me understand all the different bus types and fault finding, so I'd love to take part in the draw, please. Really learn a lot from your videos.
I made the mistake and looked up the "affordable entry price point" that Shahriar mentioned at the beginning of the video for this 300MHz version of the scope. I don't know what I expected but it's an order of magnitude higher than for my DS1054Z. It surely would be nice to have something like that though, with the function generator and the logic analyzer built in and the higher sampling rate and bandwidth, but probably someone else can utilize it better than I do. It's a generous giveaway for sure.
I study physics at university and I absolutely love electronics, my thesis will probably be on semiconductors! I would really love to have that unit and it will be very useful for may hobby and my career because I don't even own a scope right now! Thank you so much
A great and detailed review. I'm now considering R&S instead of Siglent. Siglent does have a nice matt screen however so if anyone has a good fix for the glossy R&S screen, I'm all ears.
Another great video Shahriar. I stumbled across your channel a while ago and even though the material is often way above my head, your style makes it accessible and enjoyable. I currently have a beloved but cranky Tektronix 454 - the first scope I used 45+ years ago - and even though it pains me to think about putting it out to pasture, the RTB2004 would look good on my bench :-). Keep up the good work.
I have a Hameg HMO1024 and you can really see the Rohde & Schwarz rebranding that the RTB2004 is building on from this platform. The touch interface looks like it adds a lot to the intuitive interface for the scope. Great that you demonstrated the mixed signal features of the scope as that is what I most like about the HMO1024. Being able to monitor an I2C, SPI or RS232 bus and at the same time probe around with one or 2 analogue channels is fantastic when messing with A2D or audio codecs. Please include me in the draw :-)
An MSO would definitely be a helpful tool to have instead of separate instruments & trying to correlate timing (a practice I've found myself doing in the past). R&S have always impressed me with their designs. If you'd be so kind as to enter me into the drawing I'd love for a chance to own a tool like this. Thanks!
Always been an electronics enthusiast and would love to be in the draw to have this scope as I start an Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering degree next year. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work. Cheers
I'm almost done with my bachelors, and I learn lots of things from you. I would love to have an oscilloscope to use for some personal project I like to start when I finish my bachelors. I would like to be included in the draw.
I'd like to enter the draw! X-Y mode looks amazing, and you get the waveforms themselves too! It would come pretty handy for my DIY electrochemical rig.
I enjoy your videos because they are very well done. The production values are very good, the headset mic, for example, is appreciated as it keeps your commentary very intelligible with a minimum of ambient room reverberation, fan noise, etc. The content is consistently excellent and always informative. I like the varying levels of detail you go into, sometimes just a layman level overview and sometimes exploring the complex minutia of any given topic. Yours is one of the best Electronics Vlog pages on TH-cam. You do seem adverse to showing your soldering techniques so if you haven't yet please make a video specifically on rework tips and tricks. Indeed I would be very pleased if Santa brought me a R&S RTB2004 for the imminent Solstice Celebrations.
Sure, I'm mostly commenting to enter the draw, but I also want to say that was an awesome review and I'm sure many hours went into producing something so comprehensive but tightly presented.
Thanks for the great review, as always, and RTB2004 will be great add to my lab. Please include in the drawing :) If I missed review on the portable Scope RIders, will love to see those, too.
Hey Shahriar. Another excellent video! Really appreciate how much effort you put into generating experiments for us. I'm just starting to build up my lab. I really need a scope, but they're all a bit beyond my 'mi goreng' student budget at this stage. Having a box that would also serve as a fn gen and logic analyser would be a dream come true!
Having struggled with my ancient 35MHz Hameg analogue 'scope this week it's become glaringly obvious it's utterly worn out and I need a new 'scope, it would make my Christmas, nay, my year if i were to win that R&S 'scope so please, count me in and enter me into the draw please. Oh, and thank you for the excellent videos, by far the most in depth and detailed reviews, teardowns etc I have found so far.
Great review! It's amazing how all that functionality is put onto a single board compared to my "vintage" Tek 2235 analog scope. The video could've used more Pooch, though. ;) I'd like to be included.
Fav feature is the split screen XY / time base mode. Count me in for the raffle, I could really use the scope! Shahriar, couldn't you just add a 50 ohm feed-thru to terminate? Do the fancy 50 ohm scopes really do more?
We are two guys developing IoT using NXP LPC1788 and we would really make use of this kind of scope. We are currently using his older brother ... a Hameg 203 from 1994 :) . I must say that in X-Y mode , Lissajoux paterns look better on mine ... but that triggering on your is absolutely amazing ! Please count us in for your draw. Anyway whoever wins it - I wish him all the best. And btw...this is the review that your took a break to do a quick repair right ? Haha. Waiting for more repair videos.
This is scope is my dream... given that i can't get it for while its picture is now the wallpaper of my computer... would love to be considered into the draw. Who knows... my dream could come true! Btw, absolutely great review!!!!
Wow, what a G.U.I. ! and very responsive aswell. Nice review, I especially like it when you test the limits of the devices with your other high end signal sources and the explanations are comprehensive. Thanks. Please include me in the draw :)
Fantastic as always, Shahriar! Please enter me into the drawing. My cheap 2ch 70MHz Siglent has served me very well over the years, but given that I have since started to do projects on FPGAs (and, to a great part thanks to you, have even gotten into digital filter theory, so a better FFT and less quantization noise helps), it yearns for a replacement.
Hi Shahriar, a question about the (apparent) 'unlocking' of the AM carrier frequency versus the modulation frequency at timestamp 21:47 in the video: wouldn’t it be possible that the problem is not the unlocking of the carrier frequency, but the limited resolution of the trigger? We are talking 1 Mhz vs 100 Hz (1:10,000) which means that only a minor variation in the triggering circuit (only 10 bit resolution 1:1024) would mean a (perceived) phase difference in the carrier signal, .. while the signals could very well be perfectly locked.
As always, I'm being late to the party, but hopefully not too late. As I grew up with Hameg (now R&S) scopes in school and at university, a dream would come true... Anyway, great review, Shahriar!
I've got a venerable Tek 485 (with a flaky ch1 that has provides some interesting debugging), but it just doesn't handle the digital stuff I'd love to work on. So, sign me up. As always, an excellent review and interesting experiments. Cheers!
Very good review, thank you! I'd really like to have this great scope for my lab! I had the RTB at work for a couple of days and liked it. Very nice look&feel and good functionality for an entry level scope. There are just a few software issues: Could you activate the "high resolution" mode and zoom out on a sinus signal? You will see a lot of drastic aliasing-like effects, even though the signal in the deep memory is OK (confirm by zooming in). The automatic measurements seem to work on the screen data (or at least some sort of "reduced" data), not on the deep memory. You can see that when you activate a rise time measurement on a square signal and then zoom in and out of a stopped acquisition. The frequency generator cannot be adjusted below 10 mV peak-peak. It is still pretty good for an auxiliary output though. The 10-bit ADC is extremely nice, I think it has about 7.5 effective bits (SNR) in the 1V/div range, much better than all 8-bit scopes I have seen yet. I miss the 10V/div setting that most other scopes have, though. The RTB offers 5V/div maximum.
I'm not familiar with Rohde & Schwarz but I see there are clever features in this unit. However, I don't understand why do they do a remote interface looking as the instrument itself. It doesn't seem very convenient to use with a mouse ! However it's a nice piece of art. Good luck to the participants !
Hey you are incredibly detailed in your videos I use them regularly for reference material. Yes I will be happy to participate in this drawing of this incredible piece of equipment.
I always look forward to your videos and walk away with something new learned. I would appreciate it if I could be placed in the drawing for the new scope, as it would be a great addition to the bench!
As usual a very informative review/teardown. I would like to enter the draw since an old (>25years) 60Mhz analog tectronics scope only has limited use for hardware signal integrity analysis of digital systems.
Nice review! I would love to have this scope for my students in order to demonstrate them some correlations between analog and digital signals. Now, I am using two old Hameg analog scopes to teach basic physics, like Faraday's induction, to kids in a 2nd world country (with some electronics smuggled into the after-hours curriculum for the brighter ones ). These colorful displays might be just enough to get more to participate. So consider me entered in this draw. Carolina.
Hey Shahriar, thanks a lot for all the very in-depth video you have done through out the years, most of the time, they are way clearer than actual EE classes... (well mine anyway). I really hope you continue for a long time. (and please enter me in the draw )
I would like to be in the oscilloscope draw, please. I've been upgrading and professionalizing my lab the past year, but I've shied away from buying a capable oscilloscope, as doing it right means spending a large amount of money. A unit like this would expand my capabilities greatly. The FFT, MSO and AWG capabilities of this device look absolutely wonderful.
Great video as usual, and great scope. Since I'm still in the dark ages and manually wire my scope into my logic analyzer to do the analog/digital correlation, I'd like to be included in the drawing please! And thanks again for producing these!
Nice scope, especially the introduction prices in the US were very good with all the options. Unfortunaley, they were not available in Germany, R&S's country of origin, for this price point... I also did not unterstand the reason for the 50 ohm termination missing for a scope in this class, but i guess i will cope with it if i am the lucky one ;)
The serial trigger issue: I am not sure about this, because I do not have this scope, but when I look at the USART trigger menu. It looks like the trigger is seeking for the sequence of two bytes: 0x3D followed by 0xBC, which in fact never happens and there is no possibility to happen this, because 0xBC is bigger than 127dec, which in fact means this is not the ASCII character. Furthermore. If you look at the single trigger result, the 0x3D is one time followed by 0x31, the second time by 0x36 etc., which is in fact kind of weird, because the R character should be followed by = character, so after every R there should be =, so if the ascii code of R is 0x3D, then the following byte should be a constant. But it is not. The explanation is easy. 0x3D is in ASCII = sign, not R. R corresponds to value 0x52, so the correct trigger sequence should be 0x52 followed by 0x3D, not 0x3D followed by 0xBC. I don't know if there is possibility to trigger to only one character, maybe by setting Numb. of Symb. to zero (which is weird at all). I see, the first byte is highlighted, but this imo only menas, you can set this by the Analysis knob, but it does not mean the only first of the two displayed bytes are valid for trigger. So. If I am right and that setup at 41:27 means trigger to sequence 0x3D,0xBC, then I am sure this never happens, so the trigger never happens. Imo this is the origin of the defunct serial trigger.
Count me in for the draw. This would be awesome, I am finally getting to set up my own lab in the house and I am currently only using a dso138 and being a college student funds are low!
Really hope I could win this scope. I’m teaching my 9 year old electronics because he’s interested with it, almost as much as video games and nerf battles. With this I could make what’s happening visible, and that will go a long way with understanding. Then of course it would be terrific for everything else on the bench!
Fantastic unit!! Would absolutely love to have one of these! Test equipment is particularly expensive down here in South Africa. We also don't really have a second hand market for this kind of equipment, so we usually have to make do with low cost alternatives. Please please include me in the draw! Would really make a huge difference!
Thanks for great review of the R&S Scope, I'm new to electronics and it is mind boggling the stuff you talk about but very interesting, I have a few old R&S equipment but would love to own a new one, so please allow me to enter the draw. Many Thanks
Awesome tear-down and review. The PCB Layout of the single board for the acquisition, processors and memory were nice, the layouter might have enjoyed a lot ;) The GUI with touch is just awesome. btw from what source you are taking the AM modulation and carrier waves? show some images of that setup? The XY mode show were superb, I really need to study about that more. excellent RGB light application troubleshooting, i really like it.
*Please note that a new firmware version has been made available since the recording of this video which addresses some of the issues I found in my review. Make sure you update your scope!*
Hello! Can you help me? I have an FSP13 spectrum analyzer. Its input mixer is faulty, I cannot determine the mixer model, part number.
I bought the RTB2004 based on this review. After two years, it has been the best scope I've ever used (sold my Tek). At the time it cost $4K, a very reasonable price.
Awesome review, and thanks, indeed pushed me to actually go buy this unit. I trust your reviews better than any others.
FYI, if you want to change the "Edu. Mode" button, just press the small gear icon directly above the center vertical graticule. This allows you to select which shortcut buttons to have in the top-left toolbar.
This unit would be the become the centerpiece of my bench and so I would love to be considered for the draw. And thank you for showing such generosity to your viewers!
You're so knowledgable and smart! Loving these reviews!
I would like to enter the draw. This is the most thorough and comprehensive review of this equipment I've seen so far! Thank you
Thanks for staying up all night and prepare this video!
Thank you for this chance and congratulations to any winner, I think it's a very exciting oscilloscope.
A very comprehensive review, the time you take to do these is very much appreciated. Please add me to this list.
Nice, in depth review. What else can we ask for? (except for Santa to enter me in the draw)
Good luck to those who entered and thanks for reviewing Shahriar.
Thanks for tearing down the equipment when you review it, really makes it something special!
Awesome video ! Only one TH-camr that test the gears up to it's bones ! I am interested in this scope
Great review. This is by far one of the better reviews on a new scope I've seen in a great while. Please keep up the good work. I too would love to be considered to receive this scope. Thanks again.
As always your reviews are clear and exhaustive; please keep them coming and include me in the draw!
I am still learning from this single video. Super grateful thanks!
You are obstructing the view ;)
The image of all that test gear and the painting would make a great motivational poster.
And yes, include me in the draw.
Seems like a really nice piece of equipment! Of course I would also like to be included in the draw. I must say, I really enjoy these high quality reviews, so keep up the good work!
Excellent video along with FPS1500 review helped me to familiarize with both R&S instruments quickly. Thank you.
love the UI. Especially the labelled axes on the FFT. Wish more manufacturers did that.
Great review as always Shahriar, got excited for the review when I saw it lurking in the background of your BK Precision repair. As a first scope this would make the perfect Christmas present - please include me in your draw!
As a poor Canadian student who has been saving pennies for a (far inferior) scope, receiving this R&S would be an incredible help.
Please enter me in the draw! Thank you, both for the draw and for all of the amazing content that you create.
Please enter me in the draw! Very insightful teardown of the scope, manufacturing quality of this unit is very good!
Thank you for providing such consistent in-depth content - every video is a treat. I would love to be considered for the scope.
Wow, I don't have anything as useful or sophisticated as the R&S RTB2004 on my bench. It would be extremely beneficial in helping me understand all the different bus types and fault finding, so I'd love to take part in the draw, please. Really learn a lot from your videos.
I made the mistake and looked up the "affordable entry price point" that Shahriar mentioned at the beginning of the video for this 300MHz version of the scope. I don't know what I expected but it's an order of magnitude higher than for my DS1054Z. It surely would be nice to have something like that though, with the function generator and the logic analyzer built in and the higher sampling rate and bandwidth, but probably someone else can utilize it better than I do. It's a generous giveaway for sure.
I study physics at university and I absolutely love electronics, my thesis will probably be on semiconductors! I would really love to have that unit and it will be very useful for may hobby and my career because I don't even own a scope right now! Thank you so much
A great and detailed review. I'm now considering R&S instead of Siglent. Siglent does have a nice matt screen however so if anyone has a good fix for the glossy R&S screen, I'm all ears.
Another great video Shahriar. I stumbled across your channel a while ago and even though the material is often way above my head, your style makes it accessible and enjoyable. I currently have a beloved but cranky Tektronix 454 - the first scope I used 45+ years ago - and even though it pains me to think about putting it out to pasture, the RTB2004 would look good on my bench :-). Keep up the good work.
Yes, I would like to enter the draw! I have the R&S FSC6 spectrum analyzer for my RF hobby, the RTB2004 would be the perfect unit to have!
OK, colour me impressed. That single board solution is very elegant!
Thanks a ton for the opportunity for a student like me to have a go at owning one of these.........
I have a Hameg HMO1024 and you can really see the Rohde & Schwarz rebranding that the RTB2004 is building on from this platform. The touch interface looks like it adds a lot to the intuitive interface for the scope. Great that you demonstrated the mixed signal features of the scope as that is what I most like about the HMO1024. Being able to monitor an I2C, SPI or RS232 bus and at the same time probe around with one or 2 analogue channels is fantastic when messing with A2D or audio codecs.
Please include me in the draw :-)
An MSO would definitely be a helpful tool to have instead of separate instruments & trying to correlate timing (a practice I've found myself doing in the past). R&S have always impressed me with their designs. If you'd be so kind as to enter me into the drawing I'd love for a chance to own a tool like this. Thanks!
Always been an electronics enthusiast and would love to be in the draw to have this scope as I start an Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering degree next year. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work. Cheers
This mso would really help my career in making consumer electronics. Thank you for the opertunity.
Great review with some actual use cases! I'd like to enter the draw as well. The extra bits of vertical resolution would come in handy.
I would like it but cant say I really need it. Great video by the way.
It seems like a lot of thought went into the design! Please put me in the drawing, this scope and the experiment you laid out really inspire me!
That was a nice tour through what the scope offers! And finally a quiet scope... Please also include me in the draw.
Excellent review as always. I'm often recommending your videos to friends at uni.
I'm almost done with my bachelors, and I learn lots of things from you. I would love to have an oscilloscope to use for some personal project I like to start when I finish my bachelors. I would like to be included in the draw.
may as well throw my name in the hat as well, been watching for a few years now, keep up the excellent work
I'd like to enter the draw! X-Y mode looks amazing, and you get the waveforms themselves too! It would come pretty handy for my DIY electrochemical rig.
I enjoy your videos because they are very well done.
The production values are very good, the headset mic, for example, is appreciated as it keeps your commentary very intelligible with a minimum of ambient room reverberation, fan noise, etc.
The content is consistently excellent and always informative. I like the varying levels of detail you go into, sometimes just a layman level overview and sometimes exploring the complex minutia of any given topic.
Yours is one of the best Electronics Vlog pages on TH-cam.
You do seem adverse to showing your soldering techniques so if you haven't yet please make a video specifically on rework tips and tricks.
Indeed I would be very pleased if Santa brought me a R&S RTB2004 for the imminent Solstice Celebrations.
Sure, I'm mostly commenting to enter the draw, but I also want to say that was an awesome review and I'm sure many hours went into producing something so comprehensive but tightly presented.

The review was great. All your videos are really helping with me getting into electronics. I would love to get this scope.
I'd like to get one too...
I'm a follower of TSP since the beginning, I really appreciate the quality of your content.
Fav feature is the split screen XY / time base mode. Count me in for the raffle, I could really use the scope! Shahriar, couldn't you just add a 50 ohm feed-thru to terminate? Do the fancy 50 ohm scopes really do more?

That's a nice scope! I've already thought of so many uses for it that I'd have to put in my name for the draw!
Thank you R&S and Shahriar for a great review as always, please include me as a contestant, many thanks.
I'd like to enter the draw. Thanks for the review and other advanced videos, great work!
Hey you are incredibly detailed in your videos I use them regularly for reference material. Yes I will be happy to participate in this drawing of this incredible piece of equipment.
I'm in too ;-) A 10bit scope would make my life much easier.
I always look forward to your videos and walk away with something new learned. I would appreciate it if I could be placed in the drawing for the new scope, as it would be a great addition to the bench!
SHARIAR! you are a genius. and this 'scope? AWEsome
Great teardown/review! The scope would fit nicely on my bench so please include me in the draw.
As usual a very informative review/teardown. I would like to enter the draw since an old (>25years) 60Mhz analog tectronics scope only has limited use for hardware signal integrity analysis of digital systems.

Hey Shahriar, thanks a lot for all the very in-depth video you have done through out the years, most of the time, they are way clearer than actual EE classes... (well mine anyway). I really hope you continue for a long time. (and please enter me in the draw )
Ia
are the UART /SPI /I2C decoders available with the device, or do you need to purchase them separetly (or addiotionaly) when you buy the Osciloscope?
Please consider in in thedraw, the big screen would be a very welcome feature for my presbyopia
My amateur radio club could really use this scope.
Thanks for the great videos
I would like to be in the oscilloscope draw, please. I've been upgrading and professionalizing my lab the past year, but I've shied away from buying a capable oscilloscope, as doing it right means spending a large amount of money. A unit like this would expand my capabilities greatly. The FFT, MSO and AWG capabilities of this device look absolutely wonderful.
Scopes are gorgeous nowadays especially Rohde & Schwarz. Very cool review Shahriar! Please included me in the drawing. Thanks
Great video as usual, and great scope. Since I'm still in the dark ages and manually wire my scope into my logic analyzer to do the analog/digital correlation, I'd like to be included in the drawing please! And thanks again for producing these!
Nice scope, especially the introduction prices in the US were very good with all the options. Unfortunaley, they were not available in Germany, R&S's country of origin, for this price point...
I also did not unterstand the reason for the 50 ohm termination missing for a scope in this class, but i guess i will cope with it if i am the lucky one ;)
The serial trigger issue: I am not sure about this, because I do not have this scope, but when I look at the USART trigger menu. It looks like the trigger is seeking for the sequence of two bytes: 0x3D followed by 0xBC, which in fact never happens and there is no possibility to happen this, because 0xBC is bigger than 127dec, which in fact means this is not the ASCII character. Furthermore. If you look at the single trigger result, the 0x3D is one time followed by 0x31, the second time by 0x36 etc., which is in fact kind of weird, because the R character should be followed by = character, so after every R there should be =, so if the ascii code of R is 0x3D, then the following byte should be a constant. But it is not. The explanation is easy. 0x3D is in ASCII = sign, not R. R corresponds to value 0x52, so the correct trigger sequence should be 0x52 followed by 0x3D, not 0x3D followed by 0xBC. I don't know if there is possibility to trigger to only one character, maybe by setting Numb. of Symb. to zero (which is weird at all). I see, the first byte is highlighted, but this imo only menas, you can set this by the Analysis knob, but it does not mean the only first of the two displayed bytes are valid for trigger. So. If I am right and that setup at 41:27 means trigger to sequence 0x3D,0xBC, then I am sure this never happens, so the trigger never happens. Imo this is the origin of the defunct serial trigger.
Count me in for the draw. This would be awesome, I am finally getting to set up my own lab in the house and I am currently only using a dso138 and being a college student funds are low!
I really would’ve loved to see under the heatsinks; I’d also love to have this on my desk !
My student budget only allows for 1990's Hameg scopes, so an upgrade would be awesome. Include me in the draw!
Really hope I could win this scope. I’m teaching my 9 year old electronics because he’s interested with it, almost as much as video games and nerf battles. With this I could make what’s happening visible, and that will go a long way with understanding. Then of course it would be terrific for everything else on the bench!
Probably don't need anything nearly as fancy as this, but as a computer engineering student I'd love to have this!
Please enter me into the draw. Truly awesome review and it looks like a great scope indeed.
Fantastic unit!! Would absolutely love to have one of these! Test equipment is particularly expensive down here in South Africa. We also don't really have a second hand market for this kind of equipment, so we usually have to make do with low cost alternatives. Please please include me in the draw! Would really make a huge difference!
Thanks for great review of the R&S Scope, I'm new to electronics and it is mind boggling the stuff you talk about but very interesting, I have a few old R&S equipment but would love to own a new one, so please allow me to enter the draw.
Many Thanks
Yes! I want to enter the draw, thank you Shahriar. :)
Please enter me in the draw as well. Love your videos, especially how you show how it functions with various applications during reviews.
Awesome tear-down and review.
The PCB Layout of the single board for the acquisition, processors and memory were nice, the layouter might have enjoyed a lot ;)
The GUI with touch is just awesome.
btw from what source you are taking the AM modulation and carrier waves? show some images of that setup?
The XY mode show were superb, I really need to study about that more.
excellent RGB light application troubleshooting, i really like it.
Thank you for the thorough review! I'd like to be included to the draw. I'm hoping to replace my old analog scope.
