    Thank you very much for this review, I just bought the 100MHz version and your video helped me a lot about understand this equipment.

    @nomoredonations5601 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for this review Todd. I'm considering either the DSO5202B (adds more memory) or the MSO5202D (adds more memory + 16-channel logic analyzer). Your informative review has given me and others a lot to consider. I especially appreciate the comparison to a Tektronix product, which is the brand I'm most familiar with.

  • @mik8352
    @mik8352 7 років тому

    You really did a great job here. Comparing with Tek and LeCroy was helpful to know where this scope is. You are a great reviewer and for sure I'll follow you. Thank you Todd.

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому

      And thank you too! Some people didn't like the compare but if you have used scopes you really do want to see how a new bargain brand can compare.

  • @gettingpast4391
    @gettingpast4391 4 роки тому

    Purchased one of these from Amazon, came pre-hacked to 200mhz. I have several analog scopes and this is my first digital scope, it's amazing for a first digital scope. Very happy with mine. The probes actually work up to 200mhz too as you said. Great deal.

  • @maarkaus48
    @maarkaus48 7 років тому +1

    This is a fine review. It is a real, deep enough, exploration of a scope I am interested in getting (the 70mhz cousin). I have seen another review where the person would not read the manual, and then did not give a balanced review, and even picked out some strange points to focus on. I found you to be very informative, and helpful. Thank you.

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому

    Hi Todd, first of all THANK YOU, one of the best reviews I have seen on youtube!!!! This helped me and I decided to order this thing here in Germany (329€). OK I agree it's a bit too much Textronix but shows as well how close this thing is to it. I am pretty keen to see it, waiting for the shipment. Thanks again looking forward to see more from you, Cheers Axel

    I just got my new Hantek DSO5202P today and looked for a review of it and clicked on this
    "review". This was less of a review of the Hantek, and more of a comparison between the Tektronix and the Hantek. Good information anyway. Thanks.

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому +2

      Yes there was a lot of comparison in the review. My thinking was what do you get in the DS05202P and how does it compare if you stick with main stream big name products. If it compares then the product does deliver at a much lower cost.

  • @gravelydon7072
    @gravelydon7072 6 років тому

    In case people haven't noticed, the price of this unit currently is $289. They had 37 new ones when I went to their site. They now have 36. :-) This video helped in the decision as all I needed was a cheap one. The Heathkit one is just a bit old but it is a true scope. Will inform if mine, when it gets here, matches yours or the manual.

  • @BlondieSL
    @BlondieSL 2 роки тому

    I have the "D" version of this scope. The "D" has the 16-channel digital inputs with what looks like the old printer connector, on the front.
    In fact, I bought that in Oct. 2016.
    It's been a solid performer ever since.
    For an inexpensive scope, it performs wonderfully.
    LOVE IT!

    Very good review. The video and narration quality is excellent. I have just received the DSO5102P which is 100MHz version but operates the same as the 200MHz version.
    Regarding the V0 encoder, you said that turning it clockwise you would have expected the selected menu item to scroll up. I'm not aware of any defined standard on this, but for me, scrolling down seems right !

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  6 років тому

      Yeah, from some reason I thought it backwards but now seem fine.

    • @elmariachi5133
      @elmariachi5133 6 років тому

      Could you do the bandwidth test, as Todd did, please? I really wonder, if there really is a difference between the 100MHz and the 200MHz versio, they even have the same price...

    everything works perfectly. only that when i try to save the s/r wavefront or setup i cant get to save the file. when i press save to usb button, it messages wavefront saved success but there is nothing in usb. the disc icon is lighted blue when it says that it detected. i heard. some oscolliscope dont support higher pen drives above 2 gb, so i am hoping thats the case

    @philtipping 8 років тому

    Thanks Todd, nice easy-going walk round the scope. Agree with you re. panel markings - might be pedantic to some, but if they're going to add legends, they should be consistent. Btw - each time you displayed the Measure menu, I was willing you to close it via the F0 button instead of pressing other Menu buttons, but you didn't! Wanted to see if you get the same undocumented behaviour as on my 5102P. Try it: press Measure, then F0, and you get all 32 measurements in one go... in a bright yellow table! Not much screen left for the waveforms but a nice touch regardless.

    Thanks for showing this scope.
    I also appreciate you being forward about it being a sponsored video and that you allow us the user to decide how many grains of salt we need to add.
    I think this is the kind of stuff that is starting to lack on UA-cam.
    We still have people that make videos and try to be objective so there is hope yet.
    It's a shame what has happened to some big names on UA-cam that turned into nothing more than industry mouthpieces.
    Then you have the other side of that coin... where if it's not an Agilent.. or Keysight.. whatever they want to be called this year... then it's rubbish.
    I am glad to see you do not have the attitude that seems to be pervasive in our industry... which is to shun it if it doesn't cost 10k or say Agilent on it. You got this... it works for you and does what you need and to me, that's what counts.. flaws and all.
    Can you tear it down? I would like to get your take other than from the usual suspects.. which are unfortunately very predictable these days.
    Thanks again for showing this.

    Hey Todd, nice vid. Now, 2 years later, how is the scope holding up and how noisy is it (compared to a laptop fan)? Would you still recommend a (cheap) Hantek scope? Thanks!

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  5 років тому +1

      I had to replace the fan with a much quieter fan. It is still my main scope. It has high frequency issues so not too good over 100 MHz. Still recommend it for the price for a home gamer.

      If you're only a few years into electronics just about everything under my blog page: www.toddfun.com/category/beginners/
      will be very helpful. Some scope videos are linked under "General Knowledge" header.
      Some of the links maybe broken or dated a bit as this page was setup long ago. If you let me know what links are problematic I can look up newer sources or remove.

    Hi Todd, i enjoyed your Hantek 200 Mhz scope review. I've just bought the 100 Mhz version. I put the cd into my laptop, hoping to get the manual, but all i got was a grating ( crosshatch ) on the screen, but no manual. I wonder if you could shed some light on this, or am i doing something wrong with the cd? I have to tell you that i am 67 years old and just recently have become interested in electronics, so i am very much a beginner. Thanks in advance for any help and i enjoy your video clips.

    Excellent quick review Todd. Just wondering about the PC software; Does the manual say which versions of Windows are compatible?

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому +1

      This is what is in the help file for the latests download for this scope software from Hantek website:
      If you need to install and run the Scope software, the minimum PC configuration is :
      Microsoft Windows 2000/ XP /Vista /7 32bits and 64bits
      256MB RAM or higher
      CD-ROM or DVD
      Super VGA or higher
      10 MB hard disk

    • @standishgeezer
      @standishgeezer 7 років тому

      Thanks for the quick reply Todd. Yep, I was aware of the minimum requirements. My problem is that all descriptions of Windows requirements I can find, only list Windows versions UPTO Windows 7. I am trying to find out whether the scope software will run on Windows 8.1 . Other Hantek products seem to have a problem with anything above Windows 7 so I was trying to establish whether this device has the same restriction. Not, in itself a reason for not buying but a disappointment if the 5202 cannot communicate with Windows 8.1

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому

      I couldn't say. I don't have any windows 8.1 and if I did I would update to windows 10 anyway. From reading their forums it seem you can right click the driver and update it to a windows 8 driver but not much detail on how to get the new driver in the forums. You could contact Hantek and ask. www.hantek.com/en/

    Hi Todd,
    Ive recently purchased a Hantek 4202C DSO. Probe calibration is the same as of the 5202P. Problem is after i follow the instructions the 5V 1 khz square waveform never appears correctly at all after auto adjust and calibration, and is serously distorted. I tried to adjust the probe adjuster potmeter on the probe but nothing good happened.
    What can be the problem?

    • @ToddFun

    This oscilloscope has only 40K of Memory Depth! Do you find any issue due to so little memory?

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  8 років тому +2

      +Popart 2015 Yes, I would much rather have deeper memory so I don't have to get out a logic analyzer for simple trouble shooting task where deeper memory could help me quickly figure out a problem. That said, with many such problems you want a logic analyzer for the decode as most cheap scopes even with deep memory will not do the digital logic decoding and even the nice scopes that do make you pay extra for the feature to be enabled.

    I winced when you pulled off the protective screen plastic. Nothing wrong with doing that but all my kit, scopes func gen, PSUs etc still have their protectors in place. I do not have any issues looking through it and have no finger print issues.

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому +3

      There are two camps on that subject. The plastic film is for shipping so it doesn't get scratched in packing, unpacking and shipping so it's purpose is 100% served once the customer has the product. The plastic film does effect clarity of the image one can see and the manufacture put extra $ into a nice clean clear screen so it seems strange to leave an obstruction to the extra cost put into the product. The screens are cleanable and don't scratch easy in a lab environment. But like I say there are two camps and I'm in the camp that wants to get all the value from the instrument even if there might be a risk for a scratch.

      Transguy I would like the DSO5102BM with 2mb of memory. For automotive you should look into handheld scopes. You don't need a lot of bandwidth or memory for automotive work unless you're doing direct data sniffing on the CAN bus or something like that. 50Mhz handheld should be fine.

      Ok Todd, thanks for the advice man, that helps a lot. I don't know a lot about scopes other than they flat out rock on finding misfires that haven't set trouble codes, check engine lights or can't be pin pointed with a scan tool.
      Some coils are impossible to pull out with engine running to do the cylinder drop test because you have to take the intake off to get the coils out, I have one like that right now, its a Ford 500.
      This Hantec DSO5202P is really nice for the price. Too nice for a garage really but I'd be the only one using it and would take extra care with it if I bought one. I'd keep it in the house and only take it to the garage when I need it.
      I won't buy a single channel though if I'm going to get one. I need 2 channels. One to set an amp clamp on the ignition circuit which draws a pattern for each spark on all cylinders and a 2nd channel to tap the #1 coil so I can actually locate the misfire when I see it on the screen.
      That way I'd see #1 firing at the beginning of each firing sequence and can easily spot if #3 is the guy that's malfunctioning.
      I've seen folks move a single channel U-Scopes from one coil to the next until they find the bad coil but some coils impossible to reach.

    Hi Todd .I'm interested in getting one of these Hantek DSO . some people say that it freezers/ crashes have you had this problem.I do have an old oscilloscope very well Japanese Iwatsu 100meg but very difficult to catch transient spikes.I saw your video I liked it you explained it very well detailed.basically I would need to upgrade soon and I did like the way this scope seems and looks.
    please let me know in your feedback that would be great thanks.

    • @ToddFun
      @ToddFun  7 років тому

      Yes it did crash and freeze. Not often but yes. Not a great scope for catching fast transients, the high frequency end isn't too great. Works up to 200MHz but not great so if those are your issues you might want to spend a bit more on something else.

  • @TheDuckofDoom.
    @TheDuckofDoom. 7 років тому +1

    400Hz is a very common supply frequency for local(small campus) power systems especially mobile systems like Aerospace and Naval. The advantages are much lighter transformers, motors, and alternators for a given power; elimination of gearboxes for high rpm loads; and smaller rectifiers with smoother output.
    The disadvantages are parasitic impedance over very long transmission lines, and the brushed commutators on some motors last longer with lower frequency (fewer gaps and thus sparks and vibration per revolution)
    45 and 440 are to account for normal freq. fluctuation tolerances.

    I bought this scope, unfortunately mine has a number of issues. have you noticed any bugs with yours?mine resets at random times, and second, has phantom waveforms... i.e. with a 2MHz signal from a generator (good quality for RF work) I get a sine wave at around 160khz, it looks like a nice clean sine wave, but as soon as I alter the time-scale it suddenlt becomes a solid thick line, indicating a much higher frequency, which I can view as 2mhz when I get the time scale in the right area.looks like a sampling issue... firmware upgrade didn't fix this. just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar issues

    I know it's an old video but I think your complaint @23:43 is wrong. Arranging the knobs/labels like that means you turn both in the same direction to achieve the same thing. Turn to the left on either and they both decrease volts per division. Turn right and it's an increase. Labelling looking the same isn't functional - it's form. I'd rather it was as it is, functionally the same for the same action.
