The FNIRSI-1013D Tablet Oscilloscope - A Review

[@mariusbogdan9036]

Thank you for the correct presentation! I got one of these as a gift yesterday, it's better than reading the fine print manual. That's why I'm happy about the larger display. The rest are the Tektronix 465, TDS210, TDS224, LeCroy WaweAce 204 and this latest one 🤣 I've seen the smaller battery-powered oscilloscopes from my colleagues before, but their display was too small for my old eyes. It can really be used when we need a ground-independent measurement. I wish you many more successful performances and especially (this is the most important thing in our age) good health from Hungary!

[@d.jensen5153]

Yes. Ground-independent measurement is what the purchase of this scope was all about, for me. The great utility of my tiny FNIRSI DSO152 motivated the purchase of a larger and faster scope with the same benefits.

How do you like it so far ? I'm thinking about getting one myself for automotive use.

[@GeorgeWMays]

Thanks for your interesting and informative video. I appreciate it. I have a very capable workbench with all of the goodies that one is likely to need. But I found myself often at my desk tinkering with an Arduino or such and needing to get eyes on some of the signals that I was working with. So I started to acquire a few instruments that I could grab handily and that didn't require a lot of real estate on the desk. I use this scope, a TinySA, a TinyVNA, a couple of small DMMs, and a couple of small signal generators that I can just use for those simple experiments. Super handy. A real time saver and convenience.

[@danielpatty9485]

Finally, a reviewer that knows how to use the scope.

[@FluxCondenser]

Really been enjoying your videos on these devices. Love your approach.

[@mishkathebear]

Very nice review! Enjoyed it! May be you'll find the following tests any interesting for the future videos: 1) replace probes with a straight coax from a signal generator to the scope to eliminate the probe issues, 2) measure raise/fall time of a square wave and derive bandwidth from there, 3) analyze a 20+ MHz square wave with FFT so it will be possible to estimate how far it can really see, and 4) feed an odd 50+ MHz function and compare it with a real 100 MHz scope. Thanks!

[@isettech]

To address a couple of issues, yes it will display up to 100MHZ Repetitive wave. When viewing high speed digital, it is very clear, it is using integration on faster sweep speeds, so digital pulses rise and fall in amplitude at higher sweep speeds due to the integration of multiple passes. The vertical sensitivity is only 50mV, so it will not display low amplitude signals you are used to with scopes with 2mV per division sensitivity. My last beef is the lack of DC isolation with the USB port. Do not operate this scope connected to a computer and a piece of grounded equipment. The DC offset and damage to the USB port will result. I can no longer download screenshots from the scope with USB. I can still get photos by opening the case, poping out the micro SD card on the back of the PCB and copying the files.

I've looked at a lot of KZbin videos about the various 'cheap' shop devices and I always end up learning far more from yours than the others put together. You cover it all in very understandable terms. Thank you!! Two items, in particular, are this scope and the FY6900. You mentioned the TinySA and used it here. I have one of those too and haven't used it yet. I had no idea it had an output option. Off to see what you might have to say about that. Thanks again!! 73. Dave, AI7R

[@LockdownElectronics]

Dave, I appreciate the feedback, thank you! This scope is OK, Ideal as a learning tool. I still much prefer my Hantek DSO5102P, (review here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4TbhKiEd9OJe68 ) as I like the ability to tweak some of the 'deeper' settings. That said, I have gone up a steep learning curve this last year and am only now starting to appreciate the subtleties of the instrument. It would be nice to have equipment like W2AEW and Mr Carlsons Lab, but I could not justify the expenditure on a hobby. Had a look at your QRZ page, well done on 50 years licenced! 73 de Bill, G1YQY (a comparatively recent licence at 35 years!).

@@martingerken7094 Thanks, I'm watching it now... Doesn't really matter very much now that I've purchased a Hantek Oscilloscope on Banggood this week, got myself the 70MHz scope that can be upgraded to 200MHz and they probably already did that upgrade as I understand from the recent reviews that people left on the website. I think it's the best choice for me personally since it's my very first scope and it's the best bang for the buck to my knowledge.

[@martingerken7094]

@@RicardoPenders i've got the same Hantek.and i am.happy

[@RicardoPenders]

@@martingerken7094 Well, thanks again for your answer, I've been looking at so many different scopes specs and people reviewing them here on KZbin and to be honest it doesn't get any easier for me to make a choice so I've been thinking about it for months if not a year or so and I finally decided to get the 70MHz Hantek because Banggood offered me this particular scope for $219 this week which was an offer I couldn't refuse. I wanted at least a bench top scope that looks and works like the professional ones and I think that 70MHz is more than enough for me as a total noob and actually my first ever scope, I almost bought the mobile scope the DS212, I think that one would also work out great for what I do but compared with the Hantek that only costs 60 dollar more and is way more professional with way more functionality and bandwidth that makes the choice easier. But hearing it from you that you're happy with it makes me feel better with my purchase, still not 100% sure though. It's because I have to pay it out of my own pocket and it's the most expensive item that I bought on Banggood which is risky on its own because of the way they are shipping it from China, that part I'm not so sure of but everything else has been delivered in working order so I'm probably good I hope.

I have one of these, I gave away my 4 ch 250Mhz scope and bought this simply because I do not use a scope very often and needed that space for my new 8Ghz spectrum analyzer. This little tablet is working fine for the couple times a year I need a scope to look at a low frequency signal. Scope fundamental: a 100Mhz scope is only linear to about 1/3rd of its stated BW. I tested the TinySA and it is pretty stable across the full frequency as tested with my 8ghz spectrum analyzer.

First class review process. Really tops! There are a few technical details still rattling around...what is the real sample rate? Obviously, many 'staggered' reading are required to get a fully formed representation of the signal, which leads to...what would we see if we used the digital capability to record a single event. A single 1usec pulse for example. I mention this because a digital storage oscilloscope ought to possess unique capabilities that old analog phosphor scopes did not. Not to diminish the excellence of this presentation, both informative and properly paced for engagement. Thank you!

That’s very impressive especially the number of samples. I have been playing with a little Owon Scope that is 70mhz and 1.25gsa. It’s a shame they didn’t insulate the BNC connectors so it could be used in differential measurements. I think you should have done the bandwidth test using a correctly terminated cable in the scope. I suspect the scope may be performing better than you think. Really good review thanks for sharing. I am tempted to buy one but have scopes coming out my ears.

Great review. I love the way you concentrated on the user interface. I've seen other reviews that just talk about bandwidth measurements. I've been doing this stuff too long to try to use a "100 MHz scope" on something actually 100MHz. The only thing I don't get is how such a tiny, tiny thing weights 100 pounds. It looks more like it should weigh about one pound. Pound and a half at the outside. The scope is about 4x12x18cm, or 864ml. Really heavy metals like gold or spent uranium weigh in at 19g/ml, so a scope made of solid spent uranium would weigh in at 16.4kg or 36 pounds.

Bill my friend I have a question maybe you can help me with. I purchased the 1013D and I’m not to excited with the touch screen and also not being able to use measurements cursor in some modes. I’m sure it’s my lack of knowledge and the not so great instructions. I was wondering if you could steer me in the direction of a decent one with knobs for my requirements as a novice. Much appreciated I’m also building the kits you have built. Any info would be of great help. You stay safe and well Artie 👍

[@ericlawson8898]

Great review Bill. I have also viewed the negative reviews on 1013D by EEVBlog and Learnelectronics (about 6 months prior to your review)who both claim (and demonstrated) the upper limit of the instruments they were reviewing was around 30MHz, but the machine you reviewed was ok to around 95MHz. I also noted some differences between the instruments. Your instrument had the input connectors recessed where as the instruments of the other 2 reviewers had the input connectors protruding out from the case. I also note that the instrument you reviewed was labelled "Tablet Oscilloscope" whereas the other 2 had the Fnirsi logo., which makes me wonder if Fnirsi had upgraded and improved their instrument in the time between the reviews. I'm actually looking to purchase a DSO and signal generator right now and the choice seems to be between the 1013D plus an external generator such as FY6900 which I note you have on your bench, and the Hantek SDSO2D15 with the built in AWG. Having used both companies offerings, do you have any thoughts on either solution?

[@LockdownElectronics]

Eric, well the tablet scope is ok, but it lacks the flexibility of rotary controls to make fine adjustments. I had a Hantek DSO5102P, which was excellent for the money. I see that Hantek now do a bench scope with a built in signal generator. I have not tried one, but I would expect it to be equally good value based on my experience with the DSO5102P. The model numbers are DSO2D15 and DSO2D10. Might be worth a look?

When it’s connected pc cannot recognize it… thats the only drawback i see for this device vs price point

[@oneilwilliams653]

Can it use on automobiles

[@hickenc2187]

good review~~~ !!!!

My charging light stays red "Power" stays all the time it is pugged in, the green light never comes on, which looks like it says "over" written next to it, will the green light come on when fully charged? Thanks for the help, has been pugged in for 2 hours with the charger they sent with it.

You could get a reasonable estimate of bandwidth by measuring rise time of a properly terminated square wave

I don't think the rise time on my function generator is fast enough to get a meaningful result, but it's worth a try.

For the money its not terrible. I gad one given to me by a mechanic friend, non techy. He bought it for around 10-$20 from a place that sells random stuff, apparently from Amazon. This was brand new, never opened before. Now they're like $150. Its better than the Hantek USB scope. This one has selectable coupling ACDC. The hantek usb 6022 thing doesn't. The real disappointment to me from ths scope is that there is no input inversion. I really need that in my plans to use it on cars. The capacitive spark pickuo is a huge negative spike and its better if you can flip it. It doesn't seem to like it anyway. I don't believe this scope samples any faster than 40Mhz, but uses the frequency counter and some clever math and sample jittering to fabricate the waveforms. This ony works on repeating signals, grabbing bits and pieces here and there to put it back together. One shot stuff isnt going to work. Still irs far better than noyand the build quality seems nice. It doesn't look or feel like junk.

tjahh bang for buck, it seems decent. but I really need those dials on a scope.. everything else its okay with touch, but scope that userinterface goes a long way, my first scope was the DS212 from Miniware, and sure the build and design was nice, and looks like an apple Iphone when off but the interface was horrendous. but have been skimmng the market for many years as I wanted an actual benchscope but also one that I couild easily put in a pack and that have a huge battery and one that I could take to the equipment and no vice versa. but back in 2019 I took the plunge on a tablet scope with a bag that the vendor sells and where I can have the gear in. current clamp, all the gear, mouse, and all that jazz and I really likt eh briefcasebag and the ablelity to have all there since I dotn have a bench, so I need yo puy iy away when not used and its been solid since was around 350 euro with incl. shiping to Denmark and danish 25% VAT.. I could also purchase it from Batronix but was almost double the price... (Micsig STO1104C) It got 28meg as I recall, and waveform capture rate between 100k to 95k in my testing. but its suppresinly easy to record footage or connect to wireless projectors etc... as it is based in an Android OS, also liked that it had all these seriel protocols. I reckon Micsig STO line is the best scope to balance a modern touch scope that can also function as a full fledge benchscope.when needed as you got the dials.. one thing Im using a lot is the colored intensity or heaptmap I reckon some vendors call it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ3OmJeqoNR0m6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6qVf6mrj7qMjs0 memory depth kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHXHpmBqe5iLh9U Also purchased that FY6900 to have alongside the scope and get acquainted and as a learning tool for supplying different waveforms and trying to make sense of it all and it's a nice DDS function generator for the price.. Bangg. sold the 60Mhz variant for around 70 USD from their EU store a year or two back.. and you get a lot for the money, even PC interface (windows).. though it's certainly not perfect their PC app, but it works and is quite nice you can run that FY6900 from the scopes USB 5v port. most of the time I don't use the AC socket on the FY6900.

I got the same scope, no time base running, one of the horizontal bars won't go up and down, and intermittently it switches off. Who can fix it in UK? Maybe some kind soul could send me a copy of their firmware so I could try that, never know, mine could be corrupt. Need help please,
