Works well for what Ineed

I am far from an expert on using an oscilloscope and am using it for a limited use. Easy to use which is good because the instruction manual is typically bad. The only complaint is it would be nice for the values on the screen to be a little larger.

Works well as advertised, mostly...
4.0
This is my first MSO and it works very well at the basic things a scope does. The wave source generator is great too. I do have a few comments though.
1. The I2C Decode does not work. The Rigol tech told me they know and are working on a fix. That was months ago. Plus, I spent days trying to figure it out and finally sent Rigol a full set of screen shots of multiple explanations. Only to be told, right, that doesn't work.
2. The documentation is poor. So is the Web Site. Rigol could use a professional english-speaking team to develop quality english documentation. Much of it is in Chinese!
3. The menus are not quite intuitive. They aren't bad. But I find there are thing that don't make sense, or that I still haven't been able to figure out.
Best thing would be for Rigol to provide discussion forum (like everyone else does) and have their techs address customer questions and such there. As it is, I send an email and wait a week for a question back, respond, and wait another week...
I do recommend the scope. But documentation and technical customer support could be better.

Great addition to scopes
5.0
This software product makes the scope so much more useful. I understand why they sell it as an add on and keep the base price of the scope down. None of my previous scopes have these features and I am happy to pay a few hundred bucks to add it to my scope.

Great value for the price
5.0
My first Rigol instrument and I am so pleased. It took a while to comb through the manual to explore all the functions. The features are extensive so it will take some time to go through it all. Every thing seems to work as specified and all is very positive. The included extra trigger features are imbedded already as received and active for a about a 30-day trial period. My unit as purchased included the extra options package so it required a somewhat complicated process to unlock the options to enable a permanent unlock.
This display is crisp and well laid out. I really appreciate the multicolor view to immediately identify the channel input and various measurement values. I have had many years of oscilloscope usage from early analog and up to recent digital monochrome screen indicators. This scope is such dramatic improvement in readability and quantity of data available. Many parameters can be selected by soft keys to tailor a variety of viewable functions.
Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the styling and performance. Also, the compact package makes it so portable for minimum bench space or situating it close to other equipment under test. Rigol did a great job of offering a fine scope at a very competitive price.

My first digital oscilloscope and it is fantastic. So many features will take me a while to learn them. Operation of the scope is learned from the on screen menus.

I appreciate the surprising array of measurement and triggering features on this MSO making it very versatile. The decode functions have been very helpful with my debugging / validation work on I2C and RS232 moving my projects forward faster also. The bright high-contrast display is easily read and very important to me due to my imperfect vision. I think it has a great price to perfomance ratio and I would recommend it for a variety of applications.

A great bundle of some common upgrades. Came free for me as part of a promotion so certainly a great value for me, but think the advanced triggering and memory depth upgrades alone would be worth it even if you were paying.

Functional, not Spectacular
4.0
A very good price for a useful tool. The multi protocol analysis and triggering packages work. I wish they worked a bit faster. Also, you can't capture very much at once. When analyzing CAN traffic, I can't expand my window beyond 10ms without the bus analyzer failing. This surprises me because at 20ms or greater, I can still zoom in on the signal and see plenty of samples per bit. I would like to be able to do analysis on time periods greater than 10ms, but I guess I get what I pay for.
Other thoughts: the bus decoding doesn't always line up perfectly with the waveform. The bus triggering seems to work very well.
All-in-all, this plugin is very useful and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to visualize and diagnose digital communication.

Bundle package is very good value. Easy to download and install. Have not used all features yet, but seems to be very easy to use. Extremely feature rich, definitely an excellent option for the Rigol 2000 series scopes.

The ability to enhance a scope without buying a new one is a plus. With Tequipment.net offering this, it's a no brainer. Awesome upgrade. More memory, better analysis makes the Rigol scopes an even better value. This happened to be a free upgrade offer for my DS2072A at the time I ordered, so take advantage now, if you can. Thanks Tequipment.net!

This package was a really great addition to my scope to upgrade it. I have used a number of the features during the timed trial on the scope, so when this deal came along, I jumped on it very quickly. Very satisfied with all dealings with TEquipment.net. A great company.

The bundle is a good buy
5.0
The software bundle consisting of advanced triggering, decoding and deeper memory is a good buy. Not everyone needs all the features but at the price why not enable all that this scope can do. Down the road, an advanced feature might be needed.
I had a question about the license key and Chris Armstrong at Rigol was very helpful. He recommended that I upgrade the firmware first. Firmware updates are available as a free download on the Rigol website.
Next, I downloaded and printed the Software License Certificate. This includes a key that must be inserted along with the scope's serial number into a form to be found on the Rigol Customer Center. Next, the License code must be entered into the oscilloscope using the Utility menu. This was the only difficult part: the code is quite long and the selection knob (the one next to the MENU button) tends to rotate when pushing it in to make the selection for each letter of the code. I found that using a fingernail to push the knob in for each selection made the process easier.
After that, one has a more capable and powerful piece of test equipment. This oscilloscope should serve my needs for years to come.

This is by far the best value for your scope. All options for $244. I immediately ordered when I saw this deal. I was sent the license key but since I never upgraded my firmware on my DS2202 I contacted TEquipment. I was referred to a Rigol Applications engineer and I had all the software installed in no time.Great customerservice.Well worth the investment.
