Well, I got the scope delivered today, and that was fast considering I ordered it on Monday this week, and it came all the way from China. It was packed very well, in fact a bit much as I had to use a knife to get all the wrapping off the box. Inside the box was a very well packed unit and no signs of damage.
Okay, so for the important part. Yes it worked, and quite nicely. The volts/div and time scale knobs had a nice feel to them, they did not jiggle, and had a good feel on the indents as I switched to different scales. The very large and bright screen looks wonderful and very clear. The screen is much easier to read than my old Tek 2236 scope. The size and weight of this box is dwarfed by his Tek analog ancestor, so this is great as I can find many more places in my small lab to put this new box.
The user interface was a little awkward at first but after reading the manual in Word doc format, I quickly mastered it. The scope has all the features you come to expect on a DSO. Aquisition modes for max peak, average, cursors for volts or time, and phase function too, trigger options up the wazoo, and much more. The math functions built in includes FFT to give a frequency domain display, I had not expected that one so nice surprise
Still lot's to test and try out, but I had other stuff to do. I am looking forward to trying the Logic analyzer function as I think this will be real handy, but sadly I have not been making any circuits or boards lately so I will have to wait until my latest project is finished and has software running on it, or I could try to rig up an old computer motherboard and solder some test points.
Anyways, that's all I have for now, but of course I will continue to do more fiddling and testing... But so far I am happy with my purchase.
