Same on the alert! What a great deal on a solid entry level scope that I really can't justify right now... please stop, slickdeals!

Siglent is definitely a value-for-money option. I'd noticed a few years back where Keysight had started creating some nice offers in the education space for entry-level oscilloscopes, but they simply don't have to try as hard as their competitors. So many modern oscilloscopes from even basic brands (also see Rigol) are simply incredible devices well beyond the needs of an average hobbyist. Everyone sets their own needs/budget and honestly for me I've never beat the value and need for much beyond my old Analog Discovery 2 that I grabbed at a sub-$200 education discount way back when...

Good luck!
Jon
After watching a 15 minute tutorial on this device I still have no idea what it does.
Yep, I did this to mine. Keep in mind it's a 1GSa/s scope (500MSa/s if you use 3 or 4 channels) so 200mhz is pushing it a bit. You can also, um, liberate the other licensed functions pretty easily. Or you could when I bought it. Check eevblog forums to see if they fixed any of the hacks with newer firmware.

This same model was frontpage back in 2020 for $17 more, with 11 pages of "what does this thing do?"

And here's Dave's review at EEVblog.

After watching a couple of YT reviews, and given that this is $100 cheaper than 4 years ago (especially with current inflation), I decided to get one.

other than the # of channels is the sample/display rate, the voltages/current/time period it can handle.
Does it have memory ("Storage")? How much?

I'd point you to a Book (on physics and electronics).

Quote from whodiini :
I second this thought. I would not recommend tube equipment for beginners due to lethal voltages and high consequences of mistakes. you need to ask the question - what is the worse that can happen and what steps do you take to ameliorate that whenever you do something at all risky. A beginner will not know how to answer ether question. I used to work on tube amps and have stopped because at my age, my eyesight is not quite as good and my hands are not as steady. Some tube amps need to have internal bias resistors trimmed and voltage across a bias resistor measured - the bias resistor is at 500V to ground. So you better have well insulated leads and well insulated multimeter and not slip up. You can easily kill yourself. Do you have anyone nearby you want to train in CPR?
I appreciate all the caution I'm provided when mentioning I'm both a beginner and working on tube amps, but people always assume I'm not safe, or following the "one hand in the pocket" rule. It's actually the area I started with when learning this. What stuff can kill me. What stuff will injure me. What stuff will kill other parts. And what stuff is harmless, but stupid (time/energy wasters).

It's a journey, and I'm taking all the right pit stops and consuming as much knowledge as I can on the way.

Any experts in here know how this compares to the Rigol DS1054Z?

Or...if there is something that I should know even before that, what is it? And yes, I have figured out the Safety part. I do not take stupid risks in this.
I don't want to sound dismissive because I think you are sincere in your request but it's kinda' like saying I want to be a doctor, can you show me what book to read.

My best suggestion is to simply do as much "hands-on" tinkering as you can. I am a s/w engineer that is mostly self-taught regarding electronics. I've done lots of reading and know a lot of theory but one of the best ways to really get it is to see the actual effects of playing with a circuit. You can use the animated circuit simulators to help a bit with this, but there's nothing like taking a working circuit and swapping out some components or modifying it a bit to see what happens. That's the best teacher.

Also, one of the problems is that there are many different kinds of circuits and there is a lot to learn for each. Specifically, digital circuits are going to be very different from analog ones.

I can read software and understand what is going on pretty easily, but am always amazed at how people like BigClive, EEVblog, etc. can look at a circuit and see what is going on. But like I said earlier, they can do this because they have put in the years experience.

I hope my comments don't discourage you.

That's hard to answer. The easy answer is "to look at electrical signals", but that's like saying "I use my computer screen to look at what my computer shows me". Two specific use cases I've had are using it to see an EKG using some gold cup electrodes, resistors, and op amps and using it to see a pulse in a fingertip using an LED, a photodiode, some resistors, and op amps.

As someone said earlier, it's kind of like a multimeter that logs all the numbers over time on a graph, so you can see the signal. There's a lot more to it, and a lot more it can do though.
