  1. i owned a ds1054z and it took me years to learn that:
  2. the scope is slow when using the knobs, however
  3. it is really powerful (although i have not tested personally)
  4. with its scripting / automation capability. so to me
  5. the 1054z is all about connecting it via usb or ethernet
  6. and using it via python or whatever.
  7. i would probably not use it as a general use scope. only for
  8. scripting (which it seems to excel at).
  9. (as an aside, if you look at some products, they also seem to
  10. fall into this unspoken realm of 'good for automation, not
  11. good for general use'. i.e. the digital calipers you can get
  12. online or at harbor freight. i don't like the idea of the
  13. battery dying on me after a couple years, so i prefer analog
  14. calipers. BUT, if you consider using them in some form of
  15. automation, then digital calipers are perfect. then it makes
  16. sense, why they are everywhere.)
  17. electronics_projects
  18. test ideas with 1054z scope
  19. =====================
  20. strictly logging:
  21. solar panel, test battery, solar levels,
  22. measure voltage differentials or resistance of
  23. meat as it is ageing (would need to be in a fridge).
  24. as a vna:
  25. characterize RC or other filter performance see: https://github.com/jp3141/Vector-Network-Analyzer
  26. not really something you'd automate over time i don't think.
  27. take a signal you see, output waveform to csv
  28. reoutput on a signal gen
  29. possibly i could enable all measurements
  30. https://nathankjer.com/ds1054z/
  31. and then record all these values.
  32. deep dive into timing errors with a micro:
  33. https://elexperiment.nl/2019/05/automating-measurements-with-the-rigol-ds1054z/
  34. can measure fft as well, see nathankjer link.
  35. can do 'mask testing' or give alert if signal goes out of a specified range.
  36. there's probably some other stuff, watch the eevblog video which goes over the
  37. features.
  38. as another option the analog discovery might do some of the above as well.
  39. no idea which is better / easier. would have to use both and do a review.
  40. guessing: the rigol would have better performance but larger footprint
  41. with the usb type logic analyzer scopes you have something you can
  42. stick with a beagleboard on a customers site and do some potentially
  43. easy but still powerful logging. basically you get the software and the
  44. dacs of the usb boxes with the linux of the sbc. so no need to mess with
  45. the pru or c, can just use the usb scope's software via api
