MiniWare DS213 Oscilloscope for beginners

[@rklauco]

I got Hantek 6022BL and I can't complain - I can use open source OpenHantek and see all on big screen, plus it's 1/3 of the price. Not to mention it's pluggable onto Android tablet or even phone and you can use it on the go. So if desk space is your problem - get the Hantek, put it behind or even below your desk, make only the probes available on the desk and have a shortcut for the SW :)

Looks quite portable as well. Although personally I think I'd appreciate having the screen with me. That would probably raise the price but it's not a bad option for anyone looking to save some space for sure! Thanks for the suggestion

20 megasamples seems quite small, what do you use it for?

[@rklauco]

@@alexstone691 Usually only basic low voltage toys - Tasmota devices, Raspberry Pi communication (i2c) and few RLC circuits I've build for learning purposes. Seems plenty for me, to be honest.

[@alexstone691]

@@rklauco True, sad i can't find it for price lower than 120e

[@dougle03]

Nice one, thanks for this, been thinking about a portable scope for a while.

[@notenoughtech]

It's one of these things that I will use once a month, but it will save me a day of googling! I'm glad i could shine some light on it.

Is this good enough for automotive ?

[@ddjazz]

I bought a dso1511e portable scope 1 channel 500MS 100MHz bandwith claimed in reality its more like 40 Mhz , but im very pleased with it nad i only paid 86 Euro including shipping

Pleas help me.. Give me a tips.. 😢.. What can i do to my ds213

[@muppetpaster]

Triggerlevel is also very very handy/important....

[@rizaldiesimili1630]

Sory ser. Do you have video how to factory reset this dso213..

[@notenoughtech]

I'm sorry I don't nothing in the manual? It cant be hard

[@rizaldiesimili1630]

Ser i turn to auto calibrate the line of channel two. It is missing what can i do... Its mulfunction before i turn to 1v the line is missing

[@notenoughtech]

You can toggle the channels on and off. If you look at the icons of channels (a b c d) you can display these or hide it. I believe I covered this briefly in the beginning of the UI overview

Hello, how to set start seqwence ? Everytime when I start this oscilloscope I get the same old start seqwence, then I must go to my favorite settings.

[@notenoughtech]

You could look into firmware and see if you can pre-program certain settings?

@@notenoughtech , all is writen on manual, my problem solves key kombination K4 + K2. Thanks!

[@camillegaudyn9993]

Thanks for this, you made me buy my first oscilloscope :) As I'm totally new in this, I have a dumb question.. what the use of the out (signal out, waveform output) connector ? should I buy an adaptator to connect it to a sceen for instance ?

[@notenoughtech]

The waveform gen is useful to test other equipment or to see how your components behave. When you plug the probes in to out channel you get to send the signal instead of reading one. You can test this by simply connecting the output to your oscilloscope and you will see the signal you generated

10:35 Timebase....not "samplerate"😉 voltage over time....

[@notenoughtech]

Thanks for the correction

[@sczccrx]

Could you explain if there is a zoom capability? I have just bought this and am learning to use it but can't figure out how to make some of the images it picks up larger.

[@notenoughtech]

You have 2 options to control the timeline. You can change the sampling rate which will give you a bigger resolution (zoom in) and move across the timeline with the wheel when in one of the top positions

[@sczccrx]

Could you maybe explain in more detail or make a video, I greatly appreciate you answering

[@notenoughtech]

When selecting time for samples you are selecting how long the sample will last and this is divided by the number of samples. Shorter time the more divisions per sample you get. If I have sample rate 10 per sec then I get 1/10 of a sec data point but if I decrease the time to 1/10 sec then I get data point every ¹/100 although lasting 10 times shorter.

[@muppetpaster]

@@notenoughtech You can not change the "samplerate"...Only the timebase...But hey....tomato/tomato

[@ronm6585]

Thank you sir. 👍🏻

Meh. It's small, and it's relatively inexpensive. I have one, and it's what I use when I don't have anything else handy.
