These are a great budget tool. I had a couple of rewards recently having it on hand as a field service tech, quickly identified a noisy power supply rail in a wall mounted plc, and a second job tracking the location of a bus fault from a damaged connector, both within the first two days of owning it. I have bigger scopes and more serious test gear, but this easily fits in the pocket along with my meter and makes a great basic tool and won't break the bank if lost or blown up. Next version I hope they do 1uS for about 2mHz, but even with the limitations it's excellent value..
This is my first oscilloscope. Just looking to play around with it but the instructions don't tell much in the way of how to use it to a solve a problem, or what I'm supposed to do with it really? If you know of any guides to using it, perhaps to solve a legit issue I'd be grateful
The fact is, everyone expects high sensitivity specs, but very few ever need to use those specs. For an O'scope, most just need to know if there is a signal present because we are signal tracing. Unless you're an EE designing and inspecting your circuits, there is little use for high sensitivity measurements.
Hi, great point that you brough out here! I agree, a devide like this is enough for most of the people, a bit more bw it will not hurt, but it will increase the price, so it's tradeoff. Thanks for watching and really sorry for this late reply, time is really short around here lately.
All I'm looking for is something to test with a bread board kit. All I need for now is to get familiar with everything, when I know everything I'll have a better idea of what to buy
@@jomitoh5111 - What you can get for $25 these days squash the specs of 20ish years ago. Get a dual O'Scope, DVM, LCR all in one and you will be GTG... (Good To Go) 😁
@@additudeobx I found a multimeter at Walmart. I just need to learn what to do with it. I really don't want to break it, I've been wanting it for awhile. Have u tried an oscilloscope app for your phone? I got one but don't know how it works either
@@jomitoh5111 Thanks. These multi-meters are simple functionally. Get a battery, measure voltages, measure resistances, read he manual, watch YT. An O'scope app for a phone? New to me... Merry Christmas!!
Thanks, I just got mine in this mornings mail, picked it up on Amazon for 30 bucks with shipping. It appears to be much better then my old "kit" toy scope I built, well I did two of them and neither are even close to the quality and functionability of this little gem. I am impressed with it, and I think it will do all I want to do in my little hobby 'fix it' old transistor radio repair and 'build it' for out local ghost busters outfit here in town that is headed by my niece.
Thanks for the review. Nice that they kept the price similar to the DSO150, though the interface may be better on the 150 as it has direct buttons and a knob; I dislike minimized interfaces where you have to make 10 button presses to get what you want. I also wish the 152 had kept the standard BNC connector as the mini connector is fragile and the heavy adapter/probe combo can get knocked off; this will be especially cumbersome when using the tilt stand. Even still, I think this is a nice alternative to the DSO150 as the 152 includes a rechargeable battery. It's important to remember that the DS0138 and DSO150 don't come with a power source. They need an external 9V source, though the 150 can be modified to add a battery, boost regulator, and charging module inside the case. The internal battery alone makes the DSO152 the better value. I wish that the measurements had been left on screen when testing bandwidth in order to see how accurate the voltage is. The waveforms look good enough for this type or scope and will be fine for working with audio bandwidths.
Hi, I get what you're saying an tend to agree, the DSO150 was great in terms of the points you mentioned, but haf two/three issues that were anoying. The battery was not default, for such a small device it should be. You can hack it to add battery, but it is always a hack. Second the BNC connector is more standard, also agreed, but on the other hand it was a pain in the a$$ because it completelly was out of the shell, the same with the know and I love that know! But in terms of keep it stored, is always out. I think they tried to solve that with this version. They had other models (more expensive) with differente solutions, as an example you have the DSO PRO, but it isn't never there. This one is not perfect, but I do think it's halfway to the useness you had in the DSO150. Regarding the measurements, it was my fault! I don't know how I missed that... really sorry, that was kind of the most important and I sliped that one, really sorry. Thanks for watching an your comment!
Hello Hugo, I really liked the FNIRSI DSO152 review. Thank you so much! I have ordered one and am really looking forward to it. You are absolutely right, 200kHz is a pretty miserable bandwidth, but the DSO152 is so small and practical (just pull it out of the bag and use it, no setup required), and it will probably work absolutely fine for what I mainly will use it for: - observing 9600bd TTL, RS232 and RS485 signals - observing the voltage waveform on TRIAC controlled loads (phase-cut and full-wave phase-parcels) - visualizing input and output signals of industrial PID loops. Do you have a good enough connection to FNIRSI that you could ask them for a schematic and/or service manual for the DSO152? I love to have schematics and documentation for as much of the gear I own as I can...
Hi, I have that connection, but they won't give that to me. They laser burn the IC's so you don't know what's there, so they will not release the schematics to a youtuber 😁 thanks for watchin!
Hi, I saw some comments over the videos saying that was perfect for that, but really don't know, never tested in automotive electronics. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this review, Ive been looking at the FNIRSI DSO152 for quite awhile but you have helped with my decision quite a bit. The aeswave uScope boasts of a 12-bit analog/digital converter, how does this compare to the DSO152 ? Any thoughts on that ?
Hi Thomas, you can't compare with uScope, I went to see it and it costs $429 against $30 or so. You have what you pay, if you pay $30, is a $30 oscilloscope that you get. Generally speaking 12-bit adc is much better for signal analysis, the latest bench scopes all have 122-bit adc and it shows in the displayed waveforms. Thanks for watching.
Does this device record sudden voltage spikes? Sorry if this question sounds foolish. I bought a buck converter, many of them have a bad reputation of spiking voltage upon disconnecting the input. I want to check this theory with this device.
Great video. I would like to know if this unit can be used to test different generators to see if they have a true 60hrz sine wave or if it is a modified sine wave. If so how hard would it be to set up for testing one.. Thanks Terry
Hi, it can. But don't forget that this is low budget equipment, the precisions is not the highest, even so for the price does a pretty nice job. Thanks for watching.
How do you rank the following from Best to worst? Zeeweii DSO154 PRO FNIRSI DSO152 FNIRSI 138PRO Which is the best ?? (They all appear to come from the same factory in China)
Hi Terence, your sequence pretty much define it. Zeeweii seems a bit different, they don't have the structure/scale to make the difference, but their products are quite reliable and full of features. FNIRSI is on another level, much more polished and they really focusing on quality. Thanks for watching!
Hi, the calibration of the oscilloscope doesn't require a probe, you shouldn't even have one connected while calibrating. If you're refering to the probe compensation, you need a probe if you're dealing with frequencies over 5Mhz or voltages over 40V. Otherwise you can use the aligaror clips that are provided by default. Thanks for watching.
Got mine! Love it! I wish they would add an android soc and give it a video output for a bigscreen 4K monitor A portable scope this size AND computer would be the ultimate Watch 4K movies, surf the Internet, play music over bluetooth AND have a portable oscilloscope? YES PLEASE! Do It......Do It.....Do It LoL
Very informative. Helped me to quickly master the DS0-152, which is a great little DSO at a very reasonable price Also liked the breakdown and the component analysis. Agreed it needs more bandwidth, but for the price, it's a nice tool to have. On another note, in single trigger mode I saw some odd behaviors, it triggered but only displayed part of the waveform and filled the rest of the display with noise. Can you do a follow-up on this and explain this behavior and share some "tricks of the trade" for getting single trigger to work properly?
Hi, the prices float a lot, both Siglent and Rigol have the E versions that are normally around the $300 that either of them will be a nice option. After that we enter the Hantek DSO2x1x and Owon DSO1102/04 area. Bellow $300 I will go with Owon for accuracy or Hantek for a more complete solution. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I saw this comment in 2 videos, on the other one you'll be very well served. This one has only 500Khz, is enough for a lot of things, so it depends on the specs of the old tektronix. Thanks for watching.
Hello, thank you for your reivew! Plan to purchase this osciloscope for working with my DIY projects, maybe for using somewhere in the car. I have DSO 138 mini edition, and have strange experience with it, so want something other. Accoring your explanation I decide it should be better. I also saw reviews from my local guys, they said it normally works up to 100 KHz. Regards, Andrii from Ukraine
Hello Andrii! Yes, absolutely you can take it for 100Khz, but if you want something with more power and just a bit more money, take a look in the channel videos of oscilloscopes, I have a lot of options/reviews where I cover cheap oscilloscopes, some will go to 100Mhz with signal generator and TV output and the cost is just a few bucks more. Thanks for watching!
@@TechCornerTV Thank you very much for such care about your viewers! You don't know how much i appreciate that! Have a beautiful day and happy new year! < 3
Hi, sorry the late reply, trying to keep up with the comments, not easy. Thanks so much for the support and your kind comment. I really hop that you enjoy your new scope. Thanks for watching.
I got one of these to check the waveform on my RV generator but I can't see the full waveform. It keeps cutting the top off no matter what settings I use. Any suggestions?
Hi, even when you change the amplitude... depending the frequency, sometimes that might occour in some devices and lets fave it, this one is not one is not pleaying in the premier league 😁 thanks for watching
After the tests, it turned out that the oscilloscope has problems with frequency measurement. Perhaps with a firmware update, this problem will disappear. Problems with measuring frequencies below 1000Hz, the frequency is constantly changing, poor accuracy.
@@TechCornerTV You have a signal generator, you can check. It's a pity that you didn't show it in the video, maybe you know about this problem, but the numbers were turned off. Perhaps with a firmware update, this problem will disappear.
Im a noob at this, i have seen people tune car amplifiers, but i imagine its a different kind of testing you guys are talking about, and it works fine to tune car amps
Hi, with this one, no. But if you want something accessible, 200Khz is enough and you want a function generator also, try the DSO-TC3. Has all of that and a component tester, a pretty neat tool to have in the lab (Product: geni.us/fnirsi-dso-tc3 /// Video: th-cam.com/video/eBPtYV6tjBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n6K8LN0mjHTJ9XkT ) Thanks for watchinb.
Hi, 50€.... is hard, you have the DSO1501G from Zeeweii that goes up to 110Mhz, but the screen is so small, around 30€ you have also with 18Mhz the Zeeweii DSO154 that also fine, if we go to FNIRSI you have the 1C15+ that is also a nice solution. If you strecth up to 75€, Zeeweii DSO2512G for sure. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see your video as i had no idea how to do the calibration. even though mine was good out of the box well i can say for the money it is a great little device for the beginner in stuff like Arduino and pies extra , Ia'm a beginner and that is why I decided to got one as wanted to know if my circuit was generating a nice square wave and it is , so it was worth buying oh I do also like the 1x and 10x feature on the probe
Hi Hugo, It is ok but nothing great. 200khz is not enough except for limited applications like audio. The DSO1511G is under 60 dollars and what I consider to be the best entry level oscilloscope.
I just about found the imformation I wanted that wasn't availlable elsewhere ( here ). 50/60 Hz sine. It looks possible. A very typical requirement. 50 Hz hum when a capacitor is weak. Or ground loops. I must say the DSO 152 is as clear or clearer than many expensive scopes. I find a scope like this often will show a problem even when in theory it can't. For example a full screen at 200 kHz might say 5 MHZ oscillation. One can only say above 200 kHz and certainly a problem. Good enough. An amplifier problem perhaps with defective Cdom collector to base on driver stage.
Hi Nigel, take a look in the DSO-153 ( th-cam.com/video/8_s7yX8SnX8/w-d-xo.html ) or in the 2CP3 ( th-cam.com/video/rvHRBPjmsGY/w-d-xo.html ) they might be nice for what you're looking. Thanks for watching.
I bought one of this but it did not include de p6100 probe. Bought the probe on ebay but did not include the adapter for the osccilloscope small entrance) Is not available in amazon and only one seller on ebay sells it with the adapter but he does not ship to USA.Can anyone tell me where I can buy the adapter?
Hi, I tend to agree with you, especially if you are starting and want to understand what an oscilloscope is for and how to use it. If is useful, you can always sell that one and buy a better one. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
hi hugo , i think fnirsi just took parts of the DSO TC2 without the component testing functionality and the PWM. the PCB layout and the Relay are the same . i was expecting it to atleast beat the 5012H . but anyways great video . waiting for the rest of other cool fnirsi product you have laying around.
Hi Andy, I really started laughing out loud when I saw your comment... they could put some juice on this oscilloscope, they have small ones like the DSO PRO with 3 and 5Mhz, so they could "import" some of the components to this one... it will increase the price $1 or $2, but it will be a totally different device. Zeeweii still is leading with theirs mini oscilloscope with 18mhz and function generator.... this was a missed chance. With that said, I stand for what I said that, if you're low on cash and just want an oscilloscope to study and learn how it works, this one is very compact and easy to use. Thanks for watching!
Hi, what you mean with the baseline, you want to set the time division or just move the waveform in the screen. In terms of the trigger, you have to move the highlight cursor until it reaches the arrow on the right of the screen, them move it up and down. Thanks for watching!
That's not exactly swift for a 2023 model, even if it's an entry-level pocket scope. The sample rate falls behind the built-in ADCs of budget MCUs like the STM32G431 series, which can handle 4 MSPS at 12 bits (max 6.66 MSPS at 6 bits) in single mode. And, you've the option to interleave ADCs to increase the sample rate (2x or 3x).
Hi, sorry the late reply, trying to keep up with the comments, not easy. You're right, sometimes I also find hard to understand some of the decisions behind those devices, but even so, I can tell you that is a sales success. Thanks for watching.
@@AlejandroMartinez-qb6jl I'd buy the one that fit my current and future needs, regardless of price, if I were a professional. For the cost of 2 Big Meals, this one is good enough for most backyard mechanics. As a retired aerospace technician and development engineer, I'd still buy it for automotive work. I have calibrated Fluke DVM's, but often whip out a cheap one when working on my vehicles, because if the cheap ones gets motor oil sprayed on it, or falls in the radiator fan, or gets stepped on, I'll laugh, not cry.
@@Joe_Blo the shop is getting a Picoscope in a couple months, so I plan to buy this to have something to whip out quickly. By the time I get the laptop out, and set up the pico I could have the problem diagnosed. Thank you for your input.
Hi, it depends of the frequency of the clock signal, if it is within the 500Khz supported by this oscilloscope, it will be able to draw the waveform and detect the frequency. If it is over, you will probably need something that is able to analyze megahertz. Thanks for watching.
25 dollar is decent way better than the trashy oscilocope that i built by using the schematic from the textbook ,justified it is now the main oscilocope i put on my dorm i think this is enough for bachelor engineering student
Olá pessoal, eu comprei um DSO152, baseado nos reviews de alguns canais do youtube, e infelizmente não estava funcionando corretamente. Entrei no site oficial da FNISRI, baixei o firmware acreditando que a atualização pudesse resolver, mas de fato não funcionou. Tentei resolver com o suporte e com o vendedor (chines), mas o fato é que fiquei no prejuízo. Então, resolvi compartilhar, pois assim como parece ser bom, se você tiver azar na compra, só caberá o descarte.
The DSO152 has a normal input impedance of 1MOhm. This is pretty much the standard input impedance with all oscilloscopes. If you need for a measurement a higher input impedance, e.g. 10MOhm, you can use a switchable probe 1x/10x in the 10x position. It will present to the object under test a 10MOhm input impedance, i.e. what you need.
Hi, DOS150 has a very special place in my heart, it was one of all time favorites and agree with you in terms of the useness, the knob makes all the difference. But, nowadays is very slow and limited, considering this DSO152 and specially the DSO153. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi, even when you change the amplitude... depending the frequency, sometimes that might occour in some devices and lets fave it, this one is not one is not pleaying in the premier league 😁 thanks for watching
After the tests, it turned out that the oscilloscope has problems with frequency measurement. Perhaps with a firmware update, this problem will disappear. Problems with measuring frequencies below 1000Hz, the frequency is constantly changing, poor accuracy.
Hi, all these small 200Khz scopes have a bit of struggle to get to that BW, I think it's the hardware they use to be cheaper. Thanks for watching!
@@TechCornerTV Problems with measuring frequencies below 1000Hz, the frequency is constantly changing, poor accuracy.
@@TechCornerTV You have a signal generator, you can check. It's a pity that you didn't show it in the video, maybe you know about this problem, but the numbers were turned off. Perhaps with a firmware update, this problem will disappear.
Im a noob at this, i have seen people tune car amplifiers, but i imagine its a different kind of testing you guys are talking about, and it works fine to tune car amps
Can you generate triangular or sinosidal waves?
Hi, with this one, no. But if you want something accessible, 200Khz is enough and you want a function generator also, try the DSO-TC3. Has all of that and a component tester, a pretty neat tool to have in the lab (Product: geni.us/fnirsi-dso-tc3 /// Video: th-cam.com/video/eBPtYV6tjBs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n6K8LN0mjHTJ9XkT ) Thanks for watchinb.
What would be your recommendation in the 50€ price class with more bandwith ?
Hi, 50€.... is hard, you have the DSO1501G from Zeeweii that goes up to 110Mhz, but the screen is so small, around 30€ you have also with 18Mhz the Zeeweii DSO154 that also fine, if we go to FNIRSI you have the 1C15+ that is also a nice solution. If you strecth up to 75€, Zeeweii DSO2512G for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@TechCornerTVmas o dso 2512g pega o sinal em forma de pacote? Exemplo, frequência baixa pra frequência alta. (Ondas compactadas)
Glad to see your video as i had no idea how to do the calibration. even though mine was good out of the box
well i can say for the money it is a great little device for the beginner in stuff like Arduino and pies extra , Ia'm a beginner and that is why I decided to got one
as wanted to know if my circuit was generating a nice square wave and it is ,
so it was worth buying
oh I do also like the 1x and 10x feature on the probe
Hi, I'm glad the video was useful and I hope that you enjoy your new scope. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV should we calibrate this osciloscop in every use? Or when we start to use?
Hi Hugo, It is ok but nothing great. 200khz is not enough except for limited applications like audio. The DSO1511G is under 60 dollars and what I consider to be the best entry level oscilloscope.
Hi, I agree with you, on my way of thinking, I would spare a few more bucks and go to a DSO1511G or even a FNIRSI 1C15+. Thanks for watching!
Is a 100Mhz probe essential or will a 60Mhz work equally well for audio circuits?
Hi, the max bw of that device is 400Khz or so, so any of them will be ok 😁 thanks for watching.
I just about found the imformation I wanted that wasn't availlable elsewhere ( here ). 50/60 Hz sine. It looks possible. A very typical requirement. 50 Hz hum when a capacitor is weak. Or ground loops. I must say the DSO 152 is as clear or clearer than many expensive scopes. I find a scope like this often will show a problem even when in theory it can't. For example a full screen at 200 kHz might say 5 MHZ oscillation. One can only say above 200 kHz and certainly a problem. Good enough. An amplifier problem perhaps with defective Cdom collector to base on driver stage.
Hi Nigel, take a look in the DSO-153 ( th-cam.com/video/8_s7yX8SnX8/w-d-xo.html ) or in the 2CP3 ( th-cam.com/video/rvHRBPjmsGY/w-d-xo.html ) they might be nice for what you're looking. Thanks for watching.
The 152 working fine. Thank you.
I bought one of this but it did not include de p6100 probe. Bought the probe on ebay but did not include the adapter for the osccilloscope small entrance) Is not available in amazon and only one seller on ebay sells it with the adapter but he does not ship to USA.Can anyone tell me where I can buy the adapter?
Hi, go to Aliexpress and search for MCX to BNC adapter. Is pretty cheap, like $1 or so. Thanks for watching.
i jus5 go5 mine for 30 dollars. havent tested it yet. its not a rigol or hp . hope its good enough for a hobyist.
Hi, I tend to agree with you, especially if you are starting and want to understand what an oscilloscope is for and how to use it. If is useful, you can always sell that one and buy a better one. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
hi hugo , i think fnirsi just took parts of the DSO TC2 without the component testing functionality and the PWM. the PCB layout and the Relay are the same . i was expecting it to atleast beat the 5012H . but anyways great video . waiting for the rest of other cool fnirsi product you have laying around.
Hi Andy, I really started laughing out loud when I saw your comment... they could put some juice on this oscilloscope, they have small ones like the DSO PRO with 3 and 5Mhz, so they could "import" some of the components to this one... it will increase the price $1 or $2, but it will be a totally different device. Zeeweii still is leading with theirs mini oscilloscope with 18mhz and function generator.... this was a missed chance. With that said, I stand for what I said that, if you're low on cash and just want an oscilloscope to study and learn how it works, this one is very compact and easy to use. Thanks for watching!
@@TechCornerTV absolutely agree with you
Great review !
Hi Andre, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and your nice comment.
Can i use this to measure amplifier clipping with alligator clips for freq 20hz up to 20khz?
Hi. Yes, absolutely. Thanks for watching.
Hello!
Does it display THD?
Thanks!
Hi, don't think so. Thanks for watching.
Would this be a good scope for checking car, audio amplifier waveform?
Hi, in my projects never passed by the car audio amplifier waveform frequency, but if it is up to 200Khz, should be ok! Thanks for watching!
I watched the video but can't figure out how to adjust the variable baseline or trigger
Hi, what you mean with the baseline, you want to set the time division or just move the waveform in the screen. In terms of the trigger, you have to move the highlight cursor until it reaches the arrow on the right of the screen, them move it up and down. Thanks for watching!
Moving the waveform up and down on the screen, (zero baseline)
Thanks for the help😊
That's not exactly swift for a 2023 model, even if it's an entry-level pocket scope. The sample rate falls behind the built-in ADCs of budget MCUs like the STM32G431 series, which can handle 4 MSPS at 12 bits (max 6.66 MSPS at 6 bits) in single mode. And, you've the option to interleave ADCs to increase the sample rate (2x or 3x).
Hi, sorry the late reply, trying to keep up with the comments, not easy. You're right, sometimes I also find hard to understand some of the decisions behind those devices, but even so, I can tell you that is a sales success. Thanks for watching.
Perfect for automotive diagnostics.
Hi, there is a lot of people looking for this for automotive diagnostics, good to know. Thanks for watching.
Would you buy this or the Uscope from Aeswave?
@@AlejandroMartinez-qb6jl I'd buy the one that fit my current and future needs, regardless of price, if I were a professional.
For the cost of 2 Big Meals, this one is good enough for most backyard mechanics.
As a retired aerospace technician and development engineer, I'd still buy it for automotive work. I have calibrated Fluke DVM's, but often whip out a cheap one when working on my vehicles, because if the cheap ones gets motor oil sprayed on it, or falls in the radiator fan, or gets stepped on, I'll laugh, not cry.
@@Joe_Blo the shop is getting a Picoscope in a couple months, so I plan to buy this to have something to whip out quickly. By the time I get the laptop out, and set up the pico I could have the problem diagnosed. Thank you for your input.
Thank u for review.
Hi! My pleasure 😊 and thanks for watching.
hi. can i use it to scan car ignition coil wave?
Can I use it to find data and clock signal of mobile phone cpu?
Hi, it depends of the frequency of the clock signal, if it is within the 500Khz supported by this oscilloscope, it will be able to draw the waveform and detect the frequency. If it is over, you will probably need something that is able to analyze megahertz. Thanks for watching.
Can I use this to test a commodore 64 computer?
Hi, sure but it depends on what you're testing. If the frequency is up to 200Khz (100Khz garanteed) you are good to go. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this detailed review🙂🤝🤝🤝🍀
HI, my pleasure! Stay connected and thanks for watching!
sir i dont have much knowlegde about ocsi..sir can is use this to measuring the v-out of the amplfier..i mean the wattage rms?
Auto says I have 40khz coming off my finger tips in comparison to 1khz of my other family members does that make me speed racer?
HI, probably! You are in high frequency 😁 thanks for sharing, got me to laugh! Thanks for watching too.
Hi Hugo! Will this DSO be suitable for analysing DC 5V12V/24V power supply output characteristics?
Hi, how are you! Yes it is, it a small screen but you get there. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV thanks for reply! I ordered one.
25 dollar is decent
way better than the trashy oscilocope that i built by using the schematic from the textbook ,justified
it is now the main oscilocope i put on my dorm
i think this is enough for bachelor engineering student
Hi, agree. And if you need a bit more juice on it, you can always go for the DSO-153 that is still very cheap and sell that one. Thanks for watching.
Olá pessoal, eu comprei um DSO152, baseado nos reviews de alguns canais do youtube, e infelizmente não estava funcionando corretamente. Entrei no site oficial da FNISRI, baixei o firmware acreditando que a atualização pudesse resolver, mas de fato não funcionou. Tentei resolver com o suporte e com o vendedor (chines), mas o fato é que fiquei no prejuízo. Então, resolvi compartilhar, pois assim como parece ser bom, se você tiver azar na compra, só caberá o descarte.
Hi would this be good to sort out bias and gain on a cd player that states "use an oscilloscope with input impedance over 10 M Ω"?
Hi, the specs states that it has 1MΩ impedance. Not sure if it will work for what you need. Thanks for watching!
The DSO152 has a normal input impedance of 1MOhm. This is pretty much the standard input impedance with all oscilloscopes. If you need for a measurement a higher input impedance, e.g. 10MOhm, you can use a switchable probe 1x/10x in the 10x position. It will present to the object under test a 10MOhm input impedance, i.e. what you need.
Muito legal. Valeu!
Muito obrigado Daniel, estou com atraso nos teus vídeos das camaras térmicas, tenho de ver se ponho tudo em dia! Abraço!
@@TechCornerTV e acho que se der neste sábado uma nova bem "diferente" e de ótimo custo x benefício.
I thought that the DSO164 was newer.
Hello Alfred, I'm not aware of a DSO164 model. Thank you for watching.
How do u set amp gains using this ?
Hi, sorry, can't answer that, don't know how, but would like to thank you for watching.
DSO150 has a much better interface in my opinions, much nicer navigation
Hi, DOS150 has a very special place in my heart, it was one of all time favorites and agree with you in terms of the useness, the knob makes all the difference. But, nowadays is very slow and limited, considering this DSO152 and specially the DSO153. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TechCornerTV I fully agree with you mate. Cheers :)
super vidéo merci
