I got my 1014D two days ago and have used your video to "walk thru" the paces, had it connected to three other scopes on a common feed off a Uni-T UTG962E Signal generator, you are RIGHT, this little unit is GREAT and tack sharp and faster drawing and cleaner than scopes costing four times more, just as sharp as my 12 bit OWAN....and faster drawing and locking on. Much more intuitive controls, I owe you a nice lunch and a cold drink, you steer me right on this adventure. Cheap enough that I can treat a friend to a unit. Thanks.
Definitely a winner on price/performance and I like the uncluttered front. But one thing I don't like about wall-wart powered scopes is the loss of line triggering. That's always been the fastest way to see if the wiggles on the screen are line related.
That IS incredible value for money just as a stand-alone scope, but with the other features it is OUTSTANDING. The mains ground isolation feature is worth the cost of the scope alone. TAKE MY MONEY!
FEEDBACK 1: Please FNIRSI, stop hiding the base-line noise floor. Every time the signal get below 32 mVpp it is swapped by a fake flat line. Please FNIRSI, change this in a firmware update. FEEDBACK 2: I hope that in a future firmware update the vertical Sensitivity could be reduced from 50mV/div (the current base-line noise floor appears to be low enough).
Feedback 1 - wow, is that what those "interruptions" are? Thanks for sharing this. I thought my scope (1013D) had failed. 1014D has the same issue? I was thinking of buying it (I want USB powered oscilloscope), but if it has the same problem, no way (that was one of the reasons why I was thinking about buying a new oscilloscope - for some stuff I can't use 1013D because of that flat lining).
Neat little machine. Might be a fun mod to hide a power bank inside and use a simple current steering circuit to connect it. In any case, a pretty respectable scope for students and folks just getting started on electronics.
That is an industry breaking product, at least for the hobbiest market. At this price, feature set,and portability, its really going to make getting a scope a much easier wish to fulfill for a lot of people. Of course, build quality and longevity are unknowns, so who knows? Wonder if these are going to go out of stock shortly and then be unavailable during the chip shortage. We'll probably see once you do the teardown. I've been delaying getting the Hantek et al, however this looks simple and cheap enough for my needs. Thanks for the great video!
You can also plug your household appliances into the socket with two stripped wires, right? If the electrical appliance is cheap enough, is that connection acceptable? (sorry, strange comparison, but you know what i mean)
Excellent... You just showed me where a function is located I thought it did not have. The X-Y so I can use my component tester with it as I do with my other scopes. BTW, I took a BNC connector and some small wire and made a CAL hookup I plug into the GEN output then set it for say 1V then clip my probe to it for calibration. You should see this Oscope work with a PPS "Pulse Pressure Sensor" for doing diags on autos and more. Makes it portable for in the field work.
Looks like a greater 'Starter' scope with a handy extra gen function. A chance to find out if you really need a scope with out paying big bucks. I have found sometimes the Sine wave functions goes higher than the other functions - is this the same ?
At first I thought this new scope was just the tablet model dropped into a bench top case. After watching your review it appears to be a nice, low cost device, perfect for someone starting to develop a working bench. Not bad for well under $200 USD. 👍 Paul...
Only issue with that scope, they are so lightweight, you have to tie a brick to the backside so it doesn't move when you push a button. 😂😂 Thanks for the review Paul, have a great weekend.
I reload my own ammunition, so i would just hot-glue a hunk of lead to the underside! On my digital microscope counterweight, i just added some lead bullets....easy peasy and works great!
Yes very great service recommending cheap Chinese products to Americans. Really helps the US economy👍 The 50mV sensitivity is great to. I’ve always hated measuring ripple on power supply’s. What a great service….
I found your videos on this scope really thorough.I'm sorry that it is not a 100MHz scope as advertised, though. I have the chance to buy a Hantek DSO5102P or this one. The Hantek is 100MHz as you showed in your review, so I'm wondering how you would choose between these two entry level scopes. Thank you.
@@learnelectronics Thank you. I asked about the Owon T35 multimeter a few months ago and you steered me right in that respect! Also how did you get a picture of me, on my best days, in the Voltage Divider Equations video? 😀
The signal wave form of red probe connector is yellow why on the oscilloscope the connecter marked with red color,I think they just made something never checked for quality and the frequency is 90mhz not 100mhz in oscilloscopes if designed for 100mhz you can go to about 120mhz still working, but this is only 90mhz oscilloscope and does not work above 90mhz, about durability I am not sure yet.
wow... If I needed another hobby oscilloscope this would be my next pick. 🥰 Gee, I wonder if they are working on a $200 4 channel desktop O-scope? 😎 Thank you.
Teacher, Good Night. I have that oscilloscope and I want to troubleshoot a failure of a mac not charging. I see that that oscilloscope has no I2C decoder. How else do I see the connector activity without the I2C decoder with the FNIRSI? Thanks.
Hopefully it has much better performance at low voltages and high frequencies. Have the "Tablet" but it is limited for low level signals. It integrates multiple sweeps to acquire a high frequency, so not useful for single events at high sweep speeds or high speed data. This is in relation to the tablet. Hopefully this scope has much better performance. Love the tablet within it's limitations. High amplitude signals under 20 MHZ work fine.
that's an excellent price Paul. thanks showing it off to us. CLASS.. YOU JUST PLUG IT INTO A USB POWER PACK AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE TRICKY GROUND LOOP'S... BLOODY BRILLIANT. : )
I've chosen the Hantek DSO2D15 over this one as it seems to have better quality and superior specs (150Mhz, 8M deep storage, 25Mhz function generator). This one seems to run faster processor and I also like the USB power option. The Hantek consumes 15W, not adequate for normal USB (but inside USB 3.0 specs).
Hi, great video. I have a 1014d and when I calibrate the probes, the wave isn't perfectly square. On the upper left side it's a little raised (a little beak upwards), it's never a perfect square. I tested 4 probes. Is this normal or is my scope defective?
No, yours scope is ok just the bandWith is not 100MHz but 30 so rise time will be not niece... just dont listen this learn electronics guy, who recomend shit and doesnt test it for you. Thanks
It sure has some compelling features, but also seems to miss some more advanced features. Moving the PSU out of the scope is something other manufacturers should consider too. But why they chose to make the [GEN] key BLUE when the BNC for the generator is marked GREEN??? And not put it together with the other keys that belong to the generator...
Sounds like its their first non-portable device, and its possible it was a feature added at the tail-end as a no/low-cost function? There are nits to pick, however its a $150 low-end device. As he said, if you want/need advanced functions you should be look at units that are 3-5x the price.
I bought one 2 days ago, even before to see the reviews. Thank a lot, you are rigth, for this price it's just amazing, not only for beginners, dare to say. I found it for less than 140$! You can't beat this price for such a housing, display, functions, probably and quality.
I have order one piece before 3 days ! Now I can reverse engineering the construction plans from the death Star and give the data to the Princess Leia ..! But we need a second usage/test tutorial sir for this nice machine !
I love my tablet version of this! And this one looks interesting too! I thought that it looked a little sterile at the beginning but by the end of the video, I got used to it and it now feels very uncluttered! I like it. Does it say how to compensate the probes in the manual? Or are you just supposed to use the square wave of the built-in generator somehow? And does the generator do sweep functions? Also, when you open it up, can you have a look and see if there's a place to connect a battery? They might have either used the circuit from the tablet version or maybe just included the battery circuit but not the battery! While being able to run off a USB charger, from what I have seen on Diode Gone Wild, they very rarely are isolated from mains AC... It's better to have the battery built-in than carry around a USB power bank! I purchased the tablet version after seeing your review and now I'm looking into this!
Hopefully it'll meet my modest hobby needs. When I last used scopes at work it was Tektronix CRT based scopes. I like knobs and buttons. Yes, I'm old.... So far it looks equivalent of a scope that would have cost $3000 in 1975 dollars.
I'm on the edge of my seat, wondering whether this scope is truly 1G samples/sec and 100MHz. Your sequel video can't happen soon enough! :-) Suggested clickbait text: "More like 30Mhz - 0/2 FNIRSI :("
Just bought this but the reading is double what's on my multimeter, and the firmware update does not work and the website link is broke, lots of people are reporting wrong readings with this scope, have you had any issues as I am about to return mine to amazon
@@learnelectronics Thanks a lot! I'm also taking USB ones and handhelds into account for low budget start while waiting for a price drop on some Siglent or Rigol gear. Researching the hole day so far and no results yet...
Great review Thank you! I want to see if you have another video with probe tuning as this scope does not provide that function.. This scope is an incredible bargain. My main analog scope is in storage due to a flood so I got this to tide me over. I am only concerned with audio frequencies so the range is a lot more than I need. I got this primarily for the X-Y Lissajous mode for phase and impedance work. Works great! Does the job.
I wanted to capture a wave of a noise signal I'm seeing in an amp I'm repairing. I figured out that if you S WAV you get a RAW wav file you can pull into a sample editor. However, I can't quite figured out what the file settings are (sample rate, bit rate etc). Anyone know what the proper settings are to be able to open the .wav files in an editor to be able to save a proper audio file?
I saw in specs it states has a protection “intelligent anti burning feature” that what they literally called it. Claims if you forgot to put probe in 10x while measuring high voltage won’t let the magic smoke out? I wonder how true that is seeing how they lied on the other specs? The one thing is the fact it has no internal power supply so is isolated in that regard. Both channels are sharing the same ground plane so not fully isolated like a fluke Scopemeter.
@@thetechgenie7374 Thanks for that… I wondered the same thing, just hoping that they wouldn’t set themselves up for failure so simply unless they were ‘sure’. Fingers crossed… I’ll let you know when I try it out, though I will not be ‘accidentally’ not switching probe attenuation :-) For my use case, (comparing an input with its output, or subsequent power amp stages) in a HT (400-800V), the equipment ground will (must!!!) be common anyway, so the common ground is no downside?
So Hantek or FNIRSI? I ask as I just cooked my second hand Tektronix. Will try to get it fixed but I'm not super confident, and miss having a bench top scope already. I have the little handheld FNIRSI and it's great, but not quite up to every job.
This video just convinced me to order this thing. I have some signals I need to figure out for a turbo vgt actuator, and this should help nicely compared to my old Kikusui 5041 :)
Since you've reviewed the FNIRSI 1014D, OWON SDS1102 & Hantek DSO2C10. Which do you think among them would be the best choice if priced the same? Thanks!
@@contemporiser I am not seeing that. I followed the link in the description and the price is about US$175. I also searched the site and all of the listings show roughly the same price. Are you using a different URL?
@@WatchesTrainsAndRockets Dude, supple and demand. A lot of online is tracked algorithmically. When there is a spike in ordering of a product, the price is raised as long as there is demand.
I have just purchased this unit but have not received it yet. I look at many video how not to blow it up. This osciloscope has no earth ground since it is powered by it's own transformer without earth pin (if you are not using your pc or power supply usb connection which are connected to earth), does it mean that if I plug it directly to the wall with that apple transformer, that an isolated power supply is no longer required for testing since there are no longer earth ground in the way.
I have tested several of these and the BW never reaches 100 Mhz, and each unit had a different frequency range. Even so I bought one to troubleshoot my real scope , a TEK 453, 50 Mhz scope.
OK, so wait several weeks and get it when the demand has dropped and pricing is back to normal. Or, will others review it and it becomes a viral sensation and demand/price stays high as long as they have chips to keep it in stock?
Hello, bought this oscilloscope and it looks great, but it seems like the horizontal position only shit until the 'H' trigger hits on of the wall. I want to decode a long data that exceeds these limits, how can I do that with this scope without changing the scale of it?
I got my 1014D two days ago and have used your video to "walk thru" the paces, had it connected to three other scopes on a common feed off a Uni-T UTG962E Signal generator, you are RIGHT, this little unit is GREAT and tack sharp and faster drawing and cleaner than scopes costing four times more, just as sharp as my 12 bit OWAN....and faster drawing and locking on.

Is it a through 100mhz ? I know the tablet version is a awesome little unit , however I also know it roughly a 27/30 mhz tablet type oscilloscope

Depends on what you're doing

Not a bad looking scope. I really like the idea of having a function generator built in to the oscilloscope.
is it just one signal for tuning in the probes?? oooohh! i watched the video back, how did i miss that, it's a bloody awesome thing to have. NICE!

So industry braking it is the only scope with a whopping 50mV sensitivity of x1👍
I just ordered one along with a 0-60V 0-5A PSU. Can't wait to receive them!
vertical sensitivity is limited to 50 mV minimum not 5!! I think their tablets also have this limitation. might be important
The main dealbraker to me is the vertical sensitivity of 50mv. Even the cheapest Hantek comes with 2mv vertical resolution.
Yes I agree.Not so good for checking on power supply hum etc.
100% agreed
Is it just me, or did they want to make the brand look like Rigol? The font and yellow background looks very much like a Rigol oscilloscope.
The Rigol uses a Serif font; FNIRSI uses Sans Serif.
You can also say it looks like the Fluke logo.
You know the Chinese. Make it look like another unit, BUT, don’t make it look TOO much like the other unit.
Specs show scope has a built in DDS sig generator, this might be usable as probe calibrate function. But where is external trigger input?
Thanks for the review and showing the USB power supply at the end making it portable!!
Yeah, it does offer a lot for a low price and it runs on 5v and it's portable. If I was starting out I giver her a try. Thanks, Paul.
You can adjust the 10X probe using the built in signal generator. Just stick the probe tip into the output of the generator.
You can also plug your household appliances into the socket with two stripped wires, right? If the electrical appliance is cheap enough, is that connection acceptable? (sorry, strange comparison, but you know what i mean)
@@wernerpeter9706

So Hantek or FNIRSI? I ask as I just cooked my second hand Tektronix. Will try to get it fixed but I'm not super confident, and miss having a bench top scope already. I have the little handheld FNIRSI and it's great, but not quite up to every job.
Hantek
Wow I haven't looked at/for Oscilloscope for years. I remember when a used 10Mhz or new 25Mhz was $150 to $225.
This video just convinced me to order this thing. I have some signals I need to figure out for a turbo vgt actuator, and this should help nicely compared to my old Kikusui 5041 :)
Looks great. Can't wait for full, detailed test. Wonder if it's really 100Mhz :)
How do you change the language on it's menu? all my menu's in Chinese
We purchased but blank screen only coming
Since you've reviewed the FNIRSI 1014D, OWON SDS1102 & Hantek DSO2C10. Which do you think among them would be the best choice if priced the same?
Thanks!
DO NOT buy the FNIRSI, it is fake crap, nowhere near the specs it claims!
@@stevenbliss989 Owon vs Hantek. Which would you recommend?
I am not finding it for $150. Amazon lists it at $270. How would you evaluate it at that price point?
on ali they are 150, just add taxes on top of it, unless they send it from your country
@@contemporiser I am not seeing that. I followed the link in the description and the price is about US$175. I also searched the site and all of the listings show roughly the same price. Are you using a different URL?
@@WatchesTrainsAndRockets Dude, supple and demand. A lot of online is tracked algorithmically. When there is a spike in ordering of a product, the price is raised as long as there is demand.
I have just purchased this unit but have not received it yet. I look at many video how not to blow it up. This osciloscope has no earth ground since it is powered by it's own transformer without earth pin (if you are not using your pc or power supply usb connection which are connected to earth), does it mean that if I plug it directly to the wall with that apple transformer, that an isolated power supply is no longer required for testing since there are no longer earth ground in the way.
Probably not. Neutral may still be bonded to ground.
Have you checked the REAL BANDWIDTH?
It's only about 30MHz as reported by all other reviews.
I have tested several of these and the BW never reaches 100 Mhz, and each unit had a different frequency range. Even so I bought one to troubleshoot my real scope , a TEK 453, 50 Mhz scope.

I'm sure that the frequency response of the Tektronix 50MHz scope is MUCH BETTER than of these 120MHz chinese scopes.
Thanks mate, you told me what i wanted to know. cool..
OK, so wait several weeks and get it when the demand has dropped and pricing is back to normal. Or, will others review it and it becomes a viral sensation and demand/price stays high as long as they have chips to keep it in stock?
The price will drop again.
Would this be a good scope for working on guitar amps? Currently AliExpress has it for $112 bucks
For sure.
great video got one didn’t come with a power supply shoot a screenshot of what you are using...tkx...stay safe and clean and out of the line of fire
i understand it says in the instructions not to use other ground but that dont matter if your using a battery bank?
Not really
Awesome scope.i was wondering if you have a video on how to properly use an oscilloscope....since I don't know how😁👍thanks.
I have an oscilloscope Playlist.
@@learnelectronics cool I'm going to watch them thanks.your service to your country continues from military to teaching! Thanks again 😁👍
Very nice! Can the scope go to 5mV/div sensitivity? Thanks
No it goes down to 50mV/div, not suitable for troubleshooting power supplies and etc.
Can it do xy mode? It says so but I couldn't figure it out
Please review the FNIRSI DPOX180H.
Thanks you my friend for unboxing
what are its power requirements 5VDC at how many ma ?
Can this replace an old millivolt meter for testing high frequency (300 kHz) AC millivolts ? Does it got a VRMS reading ?
Probably not
@@learnelectronics Yes it can
Hello, bought this oscilloscope and it looks great, but it seems like the horizontal position only shit until the 'H' trigger hits on of the wall. I want to decode a long data that exceeds these limits, how can I do that with this scope without changing the scale of it?
This scope is not really suitable for decoding data
@@learnelectronics well I know it does not have a good functions, but at least it should span enough to left and right to see the all data :/
