Re: Q about DSO (Instek GDS-2102)

I am purchasing a DSO I found this Instek GDS-2102.

Which seems very comparable to TEKS TDS2012B (Only $300 cheaper).

What I find odd is that I also found this (DSO Comparison chart)

http://www.wittig-technologies.com/english/start_engl.htm

Which states that GDS-2102 which claims a 1 GS/s Real Time Sampling
Rate, has only a 100MSa/s per channel on a two channel scope this
equates to only 200MSa/s. How can they claim the 1 GS/s Real Time
Sampling Rate?

If someone could enlighten me I would appreciate it. I already tried
there techs as well as the manufacturers web site. Either no answer or
they couldn't explain it. Read the manual online still no explanation.

Hmm..... I can't tell you anything first-hand about the GDS scopes, but I
do like my new Rigol DS-1102C.

US$1000 Download the manual and check it out. Their tech support quality
(that I've seen with two things I contacted them about) was even better than
the manual. Rigol makes scopes for Agilent. This line right here is the
same as the Agilent 3000 series:

The DS1000 series is the newer line with 1M buffer and thinner profile.
Check out the math capabilities of the scopes.

Not affiliated yada yada, just happy so far. Full VGA would be nice though.
;-) Whatever you get, give a report. :-)
