Great and informative. Thanks Dennis. I'm going to grab one myself.

HEY! I literraly just got one of these for my birthday from my mom, it's a pretty cool little device. I wound an antenna and was using it to analyse the incoming waveforms since I was investigating rectifying rf energy. I also used it to set the resonant frequency of my dc-dc boost converter.
We'll have to get together for coffee again sometime soon.

I purchased one of these, pretty decent unit for the money. My big complaint is there are no horizontal or verticle cursors. I have a scope that was less than half the price that has cursors. I also have the FNIRSI 1013D stand alone 2 channel that also has cursors. As a comparrison I also have the Owon HD272S which is a similar piece of equipment, it also has both verticle and horizontal cursors. I contacted FNIRSI regarding this issue, their response was that cursors may be added with a software update at some point. No date was given though.

Same idiosyncrasies as the DSO152. Still, once you are aware of its limitations…no biggie. I like it. Hantek‘s TO1000 series was a huge letdown, I’ll be watching the Fnirsi product line. Cheers Denis 🍻

Thank you Dennis.
The information was great particularly showing how to work within the limitations of this scope.
I want this type of "portable" scope to throw behind the car seat in the electical tool box and this looks good. At this price who cares if I drop it of the edge of a building or some drug addicts steals it.
All the other reviewers compare this scope to their lab scope and point out the compared failings which is wrong. They need to roll around under a car to find the crank sensor or under the dirty hot dash near the OBD2 connector or in a greasy CNC factory setting like you said and do the comparisons there.
A few more videos of tests around a car would be great. Thanks again.

even if it ain't the best scope you can get - it still gives a lot for not much cash compared to even an entry level Fluke or Uni-T DMM just looking at the prices... I'm impressed!

Cheers Denis, not bad for the money, thanks

Thank you for the great information. Could you provide more information on the BNC-BNC cable? I see there are 10ohm and 50ohm 1ft cables available.

Seems that I collect DMMs... so i grabbed one of these when I saw it on sale. I was really surprised how decent it is... I was also shocked how well the "auto" mode works on the DMM, it selects the mode, ranges and measures in less than a second. It's my goto on the bench, since just 1 button press then measure.

Great video, I only do some very low level electronics but I am about to fit a gs100502 sensor to my land rover to read the flywheel teeth for a tacho. I wanted a cheapish scope to check the reading but this seems to be great as it will also replace my cheapo multimeter. Cheers

Another great video and explanation, thanks Denis for taking the time
""""Still my to go scope is the HS402 with android, do you think will be nice to have some like this HS402 with screen and buttons

Pretty cool, but I won't be replacing the HS402 you introduced me to, anytime soon. 👍

Does the signal generator function have a variable output for signal level?

It states online that it's capable of reading voltage up to 400V in oscilliscope mode, is this true? I plan to purchase and use for automotive so need it to be capable of handling voltage spikes of a couple hundred volts from say relay back emf

Good vid. Did you see the Rotkee one that Mechanic Mindset posted? I did a preorder for one. I’m still considering the HS502 also but it’s hard to justify when I already have the Pico.

Pretty cool, i like my uscope but i hate it's battery life and charging only will occur when the unit is on... And a single channel is limiting. I'm curious about how the tool in this video performs in direct sunlight, I'm a mobile tech and the sun can make the screen un readable 😂
madmike
Can you please show your charging set up for hs502? Thank you sir.

All these "handheld" oscilloscopes have too slow sampling rates at most time bases, which leads to horrible aliasing just like you showed. I think it must be because they don't have enough waveform memory to run at a higher sampling rate at longer timebases. The Owon ones are a bit better (and the price reflects that too), but you can't beat a good ol' bench scope which runs at much higher sampling rates at every timebase and doesn't give these misleading aliased signals. I just recently bought a Zotek and a Owon handheld - the form factor is nice, but it's tough to beat the Agilent MSO-X 2000 series on my bench!
