HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.

[@GlennMartinez]

I got my 1014D two days ago and have used your video to "walk thru" the paces, had it connected to three other scopes on a common feed off a Uni-T UTG962E Signal generator, you are RIGHT, this little unit is GREAT and tack sharp and faster drawing and cleaner than scopes costing four times more, just as sharp as my 12 bit OWAN....and faster drawing and locking on. Much more intuitive controls, I owe you a nice lunch and a cold drink, you steer me right on this adventure. Cheap enough that I can treat a friend to a unit. Thanks.

[@briansilva9120]

Is it a through 100mhz ? I know the tablet version is a awesome little unit , however I also know it roughly a 27/30 mhz tablet type oscilloscope

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

Thanks for the review and showing the USB power supply at the end making it portable!!

[@josephcote6120]

Neat little machine. Might be a fun mod to hide a power bank inside and use a simple current steering circuit to connect it. In any case, a pretty respectable scope for students and folks just getting started on electronics.

[@Sorawutn]

Thank you very much for your sharing , This scope used 5 VDC for supply is very good .

[@boots7859]

That is an industry breaking product, at least for the hobbiest market. At this price, feature set,and portability, its really going to make getting a scope a much easier wish to fulfill for a lot of people. Of course, build quality and longevity are unknowns, so who knows? Wonder if these are going to go out of stock shortly and then be unavailable during the chip shortage. We'll probably see once you do the teardown. I've been delaying getting the Hantek et al, however this looks simple and cheap enough for my needs. Thanks for the great video!

[@snabelsvin1]

So industry braking it is the only scope with a whopping 50mV sensitivity of x1👍

[@lensherman6242]

Definitely a winner on price/performance and I like the uncluttered front. But one thing I don't like about wall-wart powered scopes is the loss of line triggering. That's always been the fastest way to see if the wiggles on the screen are line related.

[@tristan6509]

Depends on what you're doing Some people do actually like having isolation from mains ground

[@zedcarr6128]

That IS incredible value for money just as a stand-alone scope, but with the other features it is OUTSTANDING. The mains ground isolation feature is worth the cost of the scope alone. TAKE MY MONEY!

[@kv4atv]

Excellent... You just showed me where a function is located I thought it did not have. The X-Y so I can use my component tester with it as I do with my other scopes. BTW, I took a BNC connector and some small wire and made a CAL hookup I plug into the GEN output then set it for say 1V then clip my probe to it for calibration. You should see this Oscope work with a PPS "Pulse Pressure Sensor" for doing diags on autos and more. Makes it portable for in the field work.

[@oldwrench4213]

Nice unit. Definitely worth taking a look at.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

Not a bad looking scope. I really like the idea of having a function generator built in to the oscilloscope.

[@keithking1985]

is it just one signal for tuning in the probes?? oooohh! i watched the video back, how did i miss that, it's a bloody awesome thing to have. NICE!

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Good scope, esp. for the price. Happy Memorial Day and thank you sir for your service to this great country.

Yes very great service recommending cheap Chinese products to Americans. Really helps the US economy👍 The 50mV sensitivity is great to. I’ve always hated measuring ripple on power supply’s. What a great service….

I just ordered one along with a 0-60V 0-5A PSU. Can't wait to receive them!

[@coptertim]

At first I thought this new scope was just the tablet model dropped into a bench top case. After watching your review it appears to be a nice, low cost device, perfect for someone starting to develop a working bench. Not bad for well under $200 USD. 👍 Paul...

[@KissAnalog]

Wow! Nice scope at such a great price! Good video Paul!!

[@PeterMilanovski]

I have the tablet version which has a built-in battery, totally isolated! It has a USB C port for charging and you can even upgrade the internal battery if you need more than 4 hours run time even if you are blind!

[@englishrupe01]

@@PeterMilanovski I have been very impressed by this company's products. They make the dc-dc converters etc, and i have their mini-100Mhz oscilloscope too. Great tools!

[@PeterMilanovski]

@@englishrupe01 they are great as long as you don't expect to much from it. I watched a review of the tablet oscilloscope by EEVBLOG and he looked at it as if it was a $1000 scope! But I think that he missed the point of it! It's a budget scope which a lot of people can get their foot in the door with! Especially if you plan to be working with audio frequency! My first scope was a small pocket thing which was the cheapest that I could afford at the time, it's a beautiful device in it's solid aluminium case and it worked well for audio work but the only problem that I found with it was it's 2" screen! The next scope I got was an older 20Mz CRT type which was also really good but it didn't display any information on the screen apart from the waveform! I eventually got the tablet oscilloscope and I'm really happy with it, the FFT function is a bonus! This new desktop scope/function generator seems to be also good! I thought that it looked a little bit on the sterile side of things but I got used to it very quickly! It doesn't have to many different colours all over the place, even though I don't have it, by the end of the video I felt like I have been using it for some time as I could easily remember where what is to make an adjustment! I think that is an important part of any test equipment! I feel that it's something that all new equipment has lost from how they used to be made, when you needed to make an adjustment, you found the control in what seemed like it's natural position! The old designer's probably put in a lot more effort than we realize, the new manufacturers seem to have lost that! Everything seems to be buried in a menu somewhere! The days of just reaching out to make an adjustment without looking but just by muscle memory is becoming a thing of the past! I remember when you could have a car stereo which had a lot of features and every single one of those features could be accessed from the face of the unit and you could literally operate it without looking! That's not the case any more either... I worry about the world that my grandchildren are going to grow up in! My son has a VCR, cassette deck, DAT machine, turntable, vinyl records and so on! He even likes the music that I grew up with when I was his age! If this world is supposed to be getting better, why are the kids who get exposure to the old days not wanting to take part in it? There's nothing better than being able to hold your music in your hands! Why do my MP3's have to feel like a phone? Yeah I don't know, but what I do know is that I have enough equipment to cover the next 3 generations of my family lol. A time with come when Vintage equipment will be litterely impossible to get ahold of! There won't be enough for everyone and those who are selling are going to be asking for rediculas prices! Some of the stuff that I have was actually considered junk once! I know, because someone actually threw it out, but today it's already worth something, just imagine seeing a Sony ES DAT machine with it's wood panel side's sitting on the curbside! Even a broken one is selling for $300 on eBay! I wonder who would such a thing? I wonder if they will realise what they gave away somewhere some time in the near future? Hang on to what you have! You never know, either your children will thank you for it or if they don't appreciate what you are going to leave behind, it could turn out to be a retirement fund!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Yeah, it does offer a lot for a low price and it runs on 5v and it's portable. If I was starting out I giver her a try. Thanks, Paul.

[@melplishka5978]

👍awsome. Very nice good find brother.

[@PeterMilanovski]

I love my tablet version of this! And this one looks interesting too! I thought that it looked a little sterile at the beginning but by the end of the video, I got used to it and it now feels very uncluttered! I like it. Does it say how to compensate the probes in the manual? Or are you just supposed to use the square wave of the built-in generator somehow? And does the generator do sweep functions? Also, when you open it up, can you have a look and see if there's a place to connect a battery? They might have either used the circuit from the tablet version or maybe just included the battery circuit but not the battery! While being able to run off a USB charger, from what I have seen on Diode Gone Wild, they very rarely are isolated from mains AC... It's better to have the battery built-in than carry around a USB power bank! I purchased the tablet version after seeing your review and now I'm looking into this!

[@keithking1985]

that's an excellent price Paul. thanks showing it off to us. CLASS.. YOU JUST PLUG IT INTO A USB POWER PACK AND THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE TRICKY GROUND LOOP'S... BLOODY BRILLIANT. : )

i was curious because i saw one on aliexpress, now im interested on buying one

I still have one question, does „save wafe“ mean i can save part of a digital signal for instance?

[@stevetobias4890]

Reasonably decent scope for their first bench scope

[@TheMookie1590]

Do you know if the probes are differential probes because its using isolated power that isnt referenced to that ground?

[@electronichome1153]

I bought one 2 days ago, even before to see the reviews. Thank a lot, you are rigth, for this price it's just amazing, not only for beginners, dare to say. I found it for less than 140$! You can't beat this price for such a housing, display, functions, probably and quality.

[@cjhoffmn]

I wanted to capture a wave of a noise signal I'm seeing in an amp I'm repairing. I figured out that if you S WAV you get a RAW wav file you can pull into a sample editor. However, I can't quite figured out what the file settings are (sample rate, bit rate etc). Anyone know what the proper settings are to be able to open the .wav files in an editor to be able to save a proper audio file?

[@Aaron48219]

Going on my to buy list

[@curtvincent3728]

Great review Thank you! I want to see if you have another video with probe tuning as this scope does not provide that function.. This scope is an incredible bargain. My main analog scope is in storage due to a flood so I got this to tide me over. I am only concerned with audio frequencies so the range is a lot more than I need. I got this primarily for the X-Y Lissajous mode for phase and impedance work. Works great! Does the job.

[@stevenbliss989]

It is FAKE JUNK! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4KupnuAerF4hdU

[@Cesarsound1]

Great for the price, wow.

[@osmanfb1]

vertical sensitivity is limited to 50 mV minimum not 5!! I think their tablets also have this limitation. might be important

[@RSP13]

FEEDBACK 1: Please FNIRSI, stop hiding the base-line noise floor. Every time the signal get below 32 mVpp it is swapped by a fake flat line. Please FNIRSI, change this in a firmware update. FEEDBACK 2: I hope that in a future firmware update the vertical Sensitivity could be reduced from 50mV/div (the current base-line noise floor appears to be low enough).

[@mbaksa]

Feedback 1 - wow, is that what those "interruptions" are? Thanks for sharing this. I thought my scope (1013D) had failed. 1014D has the same issue? I was thinking of buying it (I want USB powered oscilloscope), but if it has the same problem, no way (that was one of the reasons why I was thinking about buying a new oscilloscope - for some stuff I can't use 1013D because of that flat lining).

[@shekharsarawate276]

Please show the Analog Composite Video Signal on the oscilloscope.

[@paulp2089]

Looks like a greater 'Starter' scope with a handy extra gen function. A chance to find out if you really need a scope with out paying big bucks. I have found sometimes the Sine wave functions goes higher than the other functions - is this the same ?

[@englishrupe01]

Yes....looks like the sine wave goes up to 10Mhz with the others pegged at 2Mhz. Pretty cool!

[@mr.nobody5422]

I would have liked to see it connected to the outputs of a cassette deck for testing audio output and 440 speed tests.

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

[@bumpymotors]

I've never owned or operated an oscilloscope before but I have a very specific single I'd like to detect using one, a high voltage Back Electro Motor Force (BEMF) from a solenoid. I just want to confirm the spike is there when the circuit is shut down but I don't have a clue how to make sure I'm not aiming too low in my purchase. If I'm trying to detect BEMF spikes from 200-600 volts can anyone tell me what I should be looking for as a minimum in an oscilloscope? Thanks for any help.

Hi, great video. I have a 1014d and when I calibrate the probes, the wave isn't perfectly square. On the upper left side it's a little raised (a little beak upwards), it's never a perfect square. I tested 4 probes. Is this normal or is my scope defective?

You can adjust the 10X probe using the built in signal generator. Just stick the probe tip into the output of the generator.

[@CygnusTM]

I imagine you could use the built-in signal generator for that.

[@isettech]

Hopefully it has much better performance at low voltages and high frequencies. Have the "Tablet" but it is limited for low level signals. It integrates multiple sweeps to acquire a high frequency, so not useful for single events at high sweep speeds or high speed data. This is in relation to the tablet. Hopefully this scope has much better performance. Love the tablet within it's limitations. High amplitude signals under 20 MHZ work fine.

[@LightningHelix101]

@@joop2295 sticker wise. Everyone cheeps out. It’s just about making something serviceable (workable) for these non-professional pieces of equipment. The scope with built in generator is a functionality bought within the $900 price point by Keysight, but this is still too high for students and idiot savants.

[@LightningHelix101]

3 years ago I would have recommended an oscilloscope and signal generator with a combined price of $500, so to push that down to $175.

[@LightningHelix101]

One area that they could have cut corners on is the markup. Siglent and Rigol get the amazon shaft of 40% which is how they move most of their product. They also have a 50% price for universities. By selling direct for now this scope is cheep, but since they have made a workable product we will probably see it appear on Amazon shortly causing this price point to disappear. If it lands at $300 it will still be an upgrade to what was available when I got into electronics.

[@LightningHelix101]

Yeah. The 10MHz was disappointing

[@geirendre]

It sure has some compelling features, but also seems to miss some more advanced features. Moving the PSU out of the scope is something other manufacturers should consider too. But why they chose to make the [GEN] key BLUE when the BNC for the generator is marked GREEN??? And not put it together with the other keys that belong to the generator...

[@boots7859]

Sounds like its their first non-portable device, and its possible it was a feature added at the tail-end as a no/low-cost function? There are nits to pick, however its a $150 low-end device. As he said, if you want/need advanced functions you should be look at units that are 3-5x the price.

[@mrpetit2]

Is it possible to regulate the outputvoltage of the signalgen? That is a must imho.

[@conservative599]

No, I checked mine and the little (better than Mr. Wong said!) printed manual that comes with every unit, and the pdf is on the F website under Support. Does not say anything on GEN amplitude setting. Looks like 1.48V P-P in some review waveform displays. Not sure on Output Z but you can measure that the same EE Tech way as always, select a lower freq like 100KHz and then take a linear pot (full size, not a trimpot) and simply crank down the resistance until a hi Z meter shows 1/2 the open-circuit voltage! This is a much nicer instrument than Mr. Kerry Wong presents it. I LOVED the practical and positive tone of Mr. LEARNELECTRONICS, AND saved BOTH of his 1014D Presentations. BTW I do have a REAL 150MHz TEK 2445 scope, but it needs a full recap with the parts I ordered per a nice repair article - the German WIMA plastic line caps shorted and it SMOKED but is repairable. 73's, Hilary W4HDL

This osciloscope has no earth ground since it is powered by it's own transformer without earth pin (if you are not using your pc or power supply usb connection which are connected to earth), does it mean that if I plug it directly to the wall with that apple transformer, that an isolated power supply is no longer required for testing since there are no longer earth ground in the way.
