- i owned a ds1054z and it took me years to learn that:
-
- the scope is slow when using the knobs, however
- it is really powerful (although i have not tested personally)
- with its scripting / automation capability. so to me
- the 1054z is all about connecting it via usb or ethernet
- and using it via python or whatever.
-
- i would probably not use it as a general use scope. only for
- scripting (which it seems to excel at).
-
- (as an aside, if you look at some products, they also seem to
- fall into this unspoken realm of 'good for automation, not
- good for general use'. i.e. the digital calipers you can get
- online or at harbor freight. i don't like the idea of the
- battery dying on me after a couple years, so i prefer analog
- calipers. BUT, if you consider using them in some form of
- automation, then digital calipers are perfect. then it makes
- sense, why they are everywhere.)

- test ideas with 1054z scope
- =====================
- strictly logging:
- solar panel, test battery, solar levels,
- measure voltage differentials or resistance of
- meat as it is ageing (would need to be in a fridge).
- as a vna:
- characterize RC or other filter performance see: https://github.com/jp3141/Vector-Network-Analyzer
- not really something you'd automate over time i don't think.
- take a signal you see, output waveform to csv
- reoutput on a signal gen
-
-
- possibly i could enable all measurements
- https://nathankjer.com/ds1054z/
- and then record all these values.
- deep dive into timing errors with a micro:
- https://elexperiment.nl/2019/05/automating-measurements-with-the-rigol-ds1054z/
- can measure fft as well, see nathankjer link.
- can do 'mask testing' or give alert if signal goes out of a specified range.
- there's probably some other stuff, watch the eevblog video which goes over the
- features.
-
- as another option the analog discovery might do some of the above as well.
- no idea which is better / easier. would have to use both and do a review.
-
- guessing: the rigol would have better performance but larger footprint
-
- with the usb type logic analyzer scopes you have something you can
- stick with a beagleboard on a customers site and do some potentially
- easy but still powerful logging. basically you get the software and the
- dacs of the usb boxes with the linux of the sbc. so no need to mess with
- the pru or c, can just use the usb scope's software via api
