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.

Quote from Omnifire :
I'm a software guy that took a few EE courses and I know a little on how to use a multimeter. I don't have a strong background in signal processing but I've wanted an oscilloscope for a long time. Is this over kill for electronic speed controllers, gpio, pwm stuff? I remember someone showing me an oscilloscope several years ago from a kickstarter that was small, had two probes and connected to a phone over Bluetooth to a phone. I thought these things would be super small by now. Apologies in advanced for my ignorance.
You can certainly spend less and for many a simple USB instrument can do a lot:

There are also cheaper bench choices but I have no idea of the quality.

I have a couple USB Picoscope's I used in a deployed project and they are great but I have not bought anything but Tek and Keysight in a long time due since my work needs >50GHz bandwidths. Hence, my low end experience is theoretical.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Quote from gregbert :
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.

I appreciate what you are saying.
Also, I suspect it can be frustrating to get asked that repeatedly by people like me
And please do not take this as an attack...because I assure you that it is not meant that way...but I would like to point out how these types of responses come across to somebody like me that is asking...

Borrowing from your doctor anaolgy..as I think it is a good one.

I am not expecting to pick up a book and become a doctor.
I was hoping to pick up something that would give basics and point me towards the best path to becoming a doctor.

it has been my experience, that when I ask for something to get started in this, I get told....pick up a book on electronics.
It is like saying...pick up a book about doctors.

So ...quacks? The biography of a doctor?
Nuclear Medicine? Holisitic medicine?
Medications from the horse and wagon days? Herb gardens with medicinal purposes?
Advancements in medical theory over the last 1000 years?
The chemical breakdown of psychotropics? The teardown of an X-Ray machine?

If I am a person that knows nothing about doctors or medicine, I do not yet know how to distinguish one from another very well....so this advice does nothing to assist in pointing to something that actually makes a good starting point.

And if I try to follow this vague direction, I will likely read 10 books, not being any closer to what I was trying to do than when I asked....and give up for the moment.....until the next time I get the urge and ask again.....hoping that this next time might go a little better.

My experience is that in most fields, there is that handful of books and videos...where the person who made it does an excellent job in breaking the basics down in an understandable way...and who can also do it in a way that is not like watching paint dry.
That is what I am looking for.

I saw the comment earlier from another poster about how Engineering has declined in this country. And while this is not an attack ...and this is certainly not an attack on you as you are hardly responsible for this condition....it might have something to do with people who treat these areas like secret clubs and openly laugh at people asking....saying something akin to...... You cant get there from here.

Can anyone recommend a economical programmable power supply 60V - 10 Amp - 1 Channel? Trying to find one - but it is difficult.

EDIT
Is this good -

There was a time where I wanted this. I still do. But now I'm more broke than before, and have started to forget how to use it.

How effective would this be as a DIY 4-lead EKG?
Not very effective since it lacks the firmware necessary to piece together continuous telemetry.

Old timer here. Just be careful of high voltage in any tube equipment. Lost 2 guys to lethal voltages from 'em over the years.
Not an ee, just a retired paramedic and someone who likes to hack stuff... This is very true. You never know what is still held by a capacitor and some of them hold enough to either stain your shorts or worse. Been there, seen the results.

Tangent, is this easier to use than a voltmeter for dx circuits? My only real experience with oscilloscopes is using EKG's... I get the principle, figuring out vectors, etc but I haven't done much trig since ohhh... lets say 1995? I did learn calculus on my own. I assume knowing both trig and calculus are necessary to use an oscilloscope? Am I wrong?

How does something like what you have posted compare to this. I understand there are differences for sure. But if money isn't too much issue should I just go for this?

I already have an 80s-era Tek 2465b so I don't NEED another 4ch scope but this one's a lot more portable so what the hell...

Love seeing an Oscilloscope on here.

Anyone know of a matching/equivalent logic analyzer for cheap as well?
