      DHO 804 can decode different bus types: Serial and Parallel. In serial mode supports RS232, I2C and SPI. If you system use this type of buses thats OK can decode it. Wireless outdoor thermometer not wired, maybe you cannot decode it. For example if thermometer sensor connected with I2C wired bus, then you can decode dialog. For your situation maybe not.

I particularly like the compact size which allows it to be used on a normal size workbench.

      I think about touch screen and UI buttons like close window button is little than finger and some times when I try close window UI not response very well. But in general is very versatile scope for this price. In general not bad oscilloscope quality/price relation not bad, usability not bad. Maybe need improve some UI elements for better usability with touch screen. Also is my first RIGOL oscilloscope with touch screen and some functions accessed from Rigol start button or menu button instead direct access buttons like SIGLENT or Tek scopes than have screen lateral direct buttons to access measurement functions or other menu functions.

      From Wikipedia: For versions 6 and 7 (the last two versions), both a lower-priced Turbo Pascal and more expensive Borland Pascal were produced; Borland Pascal was oriented more toward professional software development, with more libraries and standard library source code. The name Borland Pascal is also used more generically for Borland's dialect of the language Pascal, significantly different from Standard Pascal.

    I did some HP41C scientific calculator and then Sinclair ZX81 BASIC programming before I started my Math studies at Leipzig University in 1986 - and we had Turbo Pascal as part of the curriculum for "real and serious programming" - then still on 8bit CP/M east German robotron PC1715 machines - 64 Kilobyte - two diskettes - amber screen. Nice memories. After all these years I still remember the ^KB ... ^KK sequences ... While back then we didn't take Turbo Pascal very serious and went for some really big such as C - the Borland IDE was actually very practical: - quick application development - small memory footprint - one can even dynamically load modules into memory (no real linker though) - compact and easy to learn language - compiler finds most of errors (as demonstrated in the video 🙂 ) - dynamic memory structures (without the pointer hassle,C brought with it) So it is a shame that they went out of business so quickly. Visual Basic was a mess compared to Turbo Pascal.

      At the same time that I was tinkering with Turbo Pascal, migrate my old GWBasic first programs to QuickBasic 3 and later 4.5 my experimental little programs like as file encryptor or litte inventory management with sequential files, good times!

    I also learned programming using Borland products ..Turbo Assambler ,Turbo pascal .. The funny thing is that back then a PC was so expensive ..I could not afford an IBM PC ..so i wanted badly a computer ..Some one offered me an ATARI ST .new for cheap ..I bought it ..And this was a great idea .. I discovered that i could use a PC emulator and run DOS ..and then run turbo pascal and others .. So i had a PC running very close to the native PC speed .Then i discovered that there was a Macintosh emulator ..Now with my Atari i could run graphical publishing soft at a faster speed than a real Mac( it uses the same CPU).. To top it all up ..I discovered that there Minix was available for ATARI ,so i could run a Unix clone .In those days ..there was only ATT Unix .and it only run later on 286 machines or 386 machines .. So i learned Unix scripts in my old Atari ..... This is my Atari and I story,, we had a nice life and lived happy ever after !

      Awesome! When was young start learing another languages like Pascal and C, I began with Borland accidentaly, my fathers have some copies of Turbo C and Turbo Pascal that never he used that and give, install and learn to use. I remember in these days without internet (early 90s), learn by examples into journals like as PC Magazine or Byte. Very interesting age before I start my career at university as Engineer. At the end of 1995 buy first Linux spanish journal that sells with copy of Slackware Linux, remember create to floppies (boot and root) and installl manually on my old 486 DX2 at 66MHz (remember dificulties with configure XWindow manually with XF86config). I known Minix when was university student in Operating Systems course that show how implements OSs like Unix showing how it works Minix (Tannembaum OS).

      All you just mention ,was my world too. Xconfig86 server ( so many options) .Then one worked with your card by magic .A friend of mine sold early Linux booklets with a CS and a boot floppy disk ..Then came FreeBSD ..we used to leave the computer running for weeks .No crashes .That was impressive back then
