Review/Teardown of a Miniware DS213 Portable Mini Oscilloscope

[@KerryWongBlog]

Please turn off "Stable Volume" in the video playback setting (the first menu item after clicking the gear icon) as for some reason, this new KZbin playback feature made the video much noisier than usual.

Perhaps you could approach Picoscope for some of their scopes for reviews,2204a/2205a and perhaps some of their higher end scopes. The software is the same across the range so not a steep learning curve. You provide excellent info in all your reviews.

What is the larger scope shown at 17:50

[@KerryWongBlog]

That's a Dreamsource Lab DS4T1012. I reviewed it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onncY6GVq8iUq9k

At least probe compensation is available inside the unit (A1, A2, B1, B2). Not very user friendly though.

[@stevec5000]

What was causing that fluctuation of your AM modulated signal? Was it AC hum from a broken shield or something?

[@alanduncan3710]

I saw some trim caps on the right side of the board, x10 compensation?

[@TheDigitalAura]

probe compensation trimmers. would make more sense to leave holes marked on the outside of the case though and clearly label them.

[@craigtucker777]

They delivering that thing with proprietary probe witch you can't compensate lol. Please some follow up on hds2202s heating issue

I'd love to replace micro USB with type C. Also, the built in battery goes to crap after a few years of occasional use. My own experience with this instrument. The only advantage is it's size.

[@Chriva]

They want 250-300 bucks for THAT!? Not much more expensive to buy a real one that is able to handle 100 or 150 MHz

[@damexoid]

150$~

Looks like a bit of a pain to use. And like you say, small just for the sake of it. I'll stick with my cheapo pocket FNIRSI

[@jstro-hobbytech]

I find miniware make really cool looking devices but the prices are pretty high.

[@barrybogart5436]

I'd be taking a hammer to it pretty quick. WHY are designers sacrificing usability to the alter of tinyness?

[@andymouse]

When I first saw this I thought it looked great but when you get into it its a bit of a gimmick, poorly specked and a pain in the arse to use. No good for man nor beast. I think it was an exercise for miniware...cheers.

A toy?
