Hopefully Fnirsi will get feedback from good folks ( Like you ) buying and using these budget entry level oscilloscopes, and make changes. A novice like me would not catch this, but your experience and teaching skills will be useful for them improving their products. I'm very grateful for your videos and am learning very much from them !! Thank you, Old guy James
Yeah I’m bitching about this aspect of this little scope, but we should have been so lucky to have had something even close to this. It’s all relative I guess Iain. Cheers M8 hope all’s well 👍
Great video comparing 152 & 153. I do note the modus peak voltage induction spike is 120v and the 152's peak voltage is ~32v (it's less because of the lower sampling rate I presume). The 153's voltage is maxed out on the display. Perhaps if the 153 was put on 20v / division the same as the modus, it might show a similar peak voltage. However, I can't see the pintle bump in the 153's curve. With some adjustment in the timing I'd give the 153 a second chance.
Yep, did not expect that, comparing the specs I was expecting the 153 to be far superior to the 152. I purchased the 153 over the 152 believing it to be much better for vehicle diagnostics over the 152. It would seem the Fnirsi have improved some of the specs but in that process have comprised (robbed) the performance of the unit in other areas such as the screen refresh rate
Nice to see that the update was easy and you didn't have to hold the buttons as suggested in the manual. Wonder if there is any improvement other than the locking down of the signal generator to 10k. In v.1.5 you could generate upto 22khz but not calibrated.
Still looking for a satisfactory low cost dual channel scope with graphing multimeter! I am in N E Thailand so I think there are low cost options here that have not made it back West. I will research further, and I would also add my thanks for such an interesting channel…
I wonder if there's a bug rendering out-of-screen data correctly? Try to get the full waveform on screen by selecting 20 or 50 volts per division. Also there's firmware version 1.6 available if you haven't updated yet. Anyways a bug report to Fnirsi is in order 😄
That's a surprise find. Thanks for the test report. I have a DSO153 with firmware version 1.5. FNIRSI has released version 1.6 on their website. Which firmware version is your scope.
V1.5 currently installed. Guess I will consider updating it. Honestly I have never seen updates rectify such fundamentals limitations. Here’s hoping I’m wrong 😁 Thanks for the details & watching 👍🍻
One thing I'm wondering. On the DSO-152 the trigger level will only go up 1 division past the center line when the waveform base is set to the lowest division. Will the DSO-153 trigger level go up higher when the waveform base is on the lowest division?
Its all good if you can read live data from an expensive scanner. Most if not all obd2 scanners cant read fuel injector data. So really this information is useless to most people. JS
@TheGibby3340 It's pretty straightforward TBH. But all good. If you understand about how to read data then it's pretty simple. Im still learning but im getting there👍.

Thx James. And thx for taking the time to comment 🍻
You love these little scopes. I would have learned so much knowledge early on if I'd had access to something like this as a teenager.

Yeah you’re likely right. A little frustrating to get the impression, the higher spec units performance is weak. Thx for watching. 👍🍻

Disappointing…Not the end of the world. Thx for watching 🍻
Excellent video, great info. Thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers
Thanks a lot. And thx for watching 🍻
I don't expect much from a tiny scope as this, it's useful for simple go , no go tests and that's about its limits,
Thx for watching 🍻
Hello, is it possible to use this device in auto electronics to check signals from sensors, crankshaft, camshaft (Hall sensor), ABS, catalyst sensor?
Yes. There are quite a few videos on the channel demonstrating its capabilities. Thx for watching 🍻
@TheGibby3340 I use a translator 😔, at least give me a link

Fnirsi doesn’t provide a rationale for the update, so your left guessing 🤷♂️ Thx for watching 🍻

Lots of options these days. Very few of them without shortcomings. Thx for watching Mark 🍻

I will try some alternative scaling. As you can likely tell I was getting a little irritated near the end of this video 🤣
Thx & thx for watching 🍻
Thanks for your review! The error you showed is a negative verdict, throw this piece of junk in the trash and demand a refund
Thx for watching 🍻
TheGibby3340-: thanks for touching some life’s, I am one of your student who is learning from your videos, may you be bless always
Very kind, thank you. And thanks for watching 👍

Please let us know if the update helps. Good luck 🤞

disappointing DSO-153
I had big hopes for this tiny scope. Piss poor refresh rate is sinking my enthusiasm for it. 🤷♂️ Thx for watching Denis 🍻

Not sure I understand your point to be honest. No matter, thx for watching. 🍻

lets keep it real, they are both shit, its just which shitty scope is usable.....
After watching you explained this cheap little inexpensive oscilloscope for a while. You totally forget that it’s a cheap scope..
Fair statement 🍻
