Re: Anyone familiar with the Hantek 1008?

3 of 3 people found this helpfulHantek do make USB oscilloscopes, the 1008 is not one of them. Sometimes Hantek call it a DAQ and sometimes they do describe it as an oscilloscope.
It has a very low acquisition rate (2.4MS/s), almost no memory (4k points) and only 100kHz bandwidth. (All those stated as "single channel", so likely to be worse by a factor of the number of channels in use.)
It is not a logic analyser (far too slow).
The Rigol 1054Z is a real (if entry level) digital scope.
This is even cheaper, https://www.amazon.co.uk/HANTEK-Portable-Based-Digital-Oscilloscope/dp/B00EEX1W5G/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=hantek+os…
but it is a scope in the conventional sense - it's about £60 so it will be very limited.
You could get a Pico 2204A for £118, much better quality product and with known decent software.
The Pico has a lower bandwidth (10MHz) than the Hantek 2 channel scope but a faster sampling rate, which will mean that in practice it is actually usable over the stated bandwidth. the software is the same as for the 6424E which I am currently road testing on E14 (but of course the hardware being very different it can't do all the same stuff.)

Thank you. You managed to tell me what I couldn’t discern from the available details and will be looking into the pico.

Thanks for this, I've been using one of those DIY DSO mini scopes and I feel I want to "graduate" to an actual beginner scope. I looked at the Rigol 1054Z thanks to your suggestion and it seems the best bang for the buck scope I've seen so far
