Can’t go wrong with this choice

I debated extensively between this Rigol DP832 and the Siglent SPD3303X. Both are excellent values for hobbyists. Ultimately, I chose to buy the DP832 because the quality is a touch above the Siglent snd because I’ve been extremely impressed with other Rigol items I’ve purchased in the past. This power supply is extremely well built, easy to use and exactly what my workbench has been missing.

Fantastic purchase, the speed and accuracy is like nothing I have ever used, very easy setting and switching between the endless options this unit has.
Recommend this model if the back lighting is important.
The only thing I have a slight problem with is the continuity buzzer is very quiet and could be quite a bit louder, definitely not a game changer and wouldn't stop me recommending this unit to anyone who needs a serious bench meter. very happy.

This is an outstanding piece of hardware as it is. I recommend spending a bit of time on the blogs to truly appreciate the feature set.

OK boys and Girls, this is not a $1000 meter. If you are in the market for a lower end meter this unit is very acceptable. There are some things that really bother me like the continuity tone is so low I can barely hear it. It does not seem to be adjustable, after a bit I will crack the case and see what can be done.

Very nice lab supply for the serious hobbyins
5.0
Pros of this power supply:
- Clear and easy to read display
- The three outputs are very convenient for my typical use of bipolar rails for opamps/etc and a 5v or 3.3v rail for microcontrollers.
- The combination of rotary encoder and circular number pad makes editing parameters pretty easy.
Cons:
- Channel 2 and 3 share a common terminal, not a huge deal.
- I would prefer a number pad with a square layout, but it doesn't take long to get used to.
- The fan is a little noisy, but this is to be expected.
Overall:
I like it, other top contenders were a GW-Instek unit with potentiometers instead of encoders/number pad, and a Siglent unit. The Rigol was a little more expensive than either of these, but I'm happy with this choice.

Love this Meter - Rigol DM3058E
5.0
I was looking for an upgrade bench meter that had 5 1/2 digits. I have other Rigol instruments and have been very happy with them, Oscope, PSU, Sig Gen... This meter does not disappoint! I love the 4 wire resistance measurement. I threw it on my decade resistance box and was impressed with the accuracy. The only real drawback was the backlit screen. It is easy to invert the white background and black numbers, but it was not keeping the setting when shut down. I did finally figure it out, trying several combinations of settings/saving repeating.
The other thing that I find annoying is that I have to push the power button on the front after I power up my bench. Not a big deal, just annoying. The overall feel, look and operation is alien to my other Rigol instruments, but I do really like it. It is my new "go-to" meter.

Just hoping I might win a Rigol DS1202Z-E - but anyway - the scope I purchased (DS1102E) will probably do everything I need - and will certainly and easily replace my Tech-465 which died 2 decades ago (although I may try to refurb it - - likely some capacitors in the power supply have Cra_ _ ed out). This thing is amazing - with a single button "Auto Run" control that selects the best display options for the signals currently detected. It's DC to 100MHz on both channels, 2 1x / 10x probes with capacitive adjustment, and a 1KHz square wave calibration tap.
And - OBTW - - this lil scope has a 1 MegaPoint capture memory compared to similar priced competition.
NOT sure I'd go with this scope again - built in 2008 compared to Hantek DSO4102C in 2015 - - but it will suffice for my applications.

This unit has replaced a different lab supply that had issues with changing/losing voltage settings which was very unnerving.

Physically the unit is quite long but workable. The fan noise is louder than I would like but not whiny like other test equipment that I have so it's not as annoying. Would get 5 stars if the fan was quieter.

I was happy enough with this that I eventually bought two of them in total. It's just a solid lab power supply with three programmable outputs. Not a lot of excitement, which is what you'd want in a power supply.
The user interface is decent although many complain about the encoder wheel to set values. It could definitely be more streamlined, but you get used to it.
The only part of the UI that I found almost unusable was the timer functionality, where you can set it to step through different voltage and current limits. It may have improved in later firmware revisions, but it was very unclear where the sequence was supposed to stop, and using the prefab templates seemed to not work at all. However, most people will probably never use this functionality, or will automate it externally with LXI etc.

Excelent Power supply with built in turbine
4.0
I got this power supply over a year ago and it is a solid performer on my workbench. It's used for hobby applications and I never had issues with it. I mainly use it from the front panel but tested some simple setups in LabVIEW in combination with the DM3068 DMM and a DS2302A scope...no issues.
It took a little while to get used to it but now I really like the user interface.
The huge complaint is the build in fighter jet turbine. I thought the DS2302A scope is loud, after I installed this power supply I learned the scope is whisper silent. I don't know how you can design bench equipment that is designed to sit in front of the user which is so noisy. Yes it's not a pricy power supply but the efforts to minimize the noise aren't too pricy either.
My unit is out of warranty now and I will definitely look into alternative fans that reduce the nose without loosing air flow.
Other than the noise complaint this is a very nice power supply for the price.

As a electronics engineer the specifications for the DM3058E volt meter are well described and offer a great value for the money. The meter has four wire ohm measurement capability, so very necessary for measuring low value resistances. I would recommend TEquipment and this instrument.

This is a great little multi-meter. I have two handhelds. Both tests well, but one is slow to show the measurement and the other I sometimes have to try multiple times before it will show a reading if the leads are small.
This resolves the issue and now that it sits on my workbench, I don't have to dig out my handhelds anymore when working on projects unless not something I can put on my workbench.
Anyhow, great little scope and fits my needs perfectly.

A Great Value in a Programmable Power Supply
5.0
I have used this programmable power supply now for several projects over about a month to characterize the V-I characteristics of a series of TVS diodes. This power supply has shown itself to have outputs that are surprisingly accurate, stable, and quiet. Setting up a series of precise test voltages with a precise current limit was a snap. The unusual circular numeric keypad looks odd, but in practice it's very easy to become accustomed to it and I don't think it's a bad thing at all. Setting up voltages and currents with it is quite easy with very little practice.
As others have no doubt mentioned, this unit does have a fan, however at the low output power levels I used the noise level was minimal and not annoying to me at all.

Excellent Power Supply
4.0
The Rigol DP832 has been working great for me. It is very intuitive and easy to operate, and the quality of the DC output is superb. I really enjoy the ability to turn each channel on and off individually.
The reason I removed 1 star is because:
1) The High Resolution Display/Control should be a standard feature, instead of an extra $110 for the unlock code. Everyone can benefit from the fine resolution control. I am OK with the other locked features being extra cost, since not everyone can use them.
2) I wish there was a way to internally configure the power supply to put channels 1 and 2 in series. They can be manually connected with a short jumper wire, but cheaper power supplies have this feature...and I am naturally lazy enough to not want to walk across the lab to get a jumper cable.
Overall, a great power supply for a decent price.

Quality DMM
4.0
The accuracy and responsiveness of the DMM is very good, as other have mentioned. I like the fact that I can control the characteristics of the display (brightness, contrast & invert).
There are two issues regarding the probes, I feel should be addressed.
The sheaths on the probes can be difficult to remove. At first I thought they weren't removable, which didn't make sense considering that they came with threaded alligator clips. I contacted Rigol in Beaverton OR and they informed me that the sheaths can be obstinate to remove initially and to use a set of needle nose pliers to remove them. That worked like a charm and now they come off with reasonable effort.
The second issue, also deals with the probes. This may be an isolated issue, however I thought it was worth mentioning. The probes I received, although they are well made, do not provide consistent readings. I swapped them with a set of Probe Master probes and the issue went away. I also tried the Rigol probes on another multimeter and had the same issue. Maybe it's just my set.

What's Not to Like About This 'Scope?
5.0
First off this is my first digital 'scope, have been using a basic analog scope for decades for hobbyist and ham use. It was purchased on the basis of reviews by users on a number of on-line sites.
Amazed at the fact that these scopes now do all the calculating for you. Frequency counter for this scope is very accurate, even if you go above 100 MHz to a certain extent. Very small footprint (my analog was huge), light weight, easily transported. Fan noise was not an issue; as a matter of fact if this was not commented on in previous on-line posts I would not have noticed. Good quality from it's appearance - buttons, knobs, pots switches all close tolerance and tight with not a hint of flimsiness. Nice big top mounted handle.
The DVD that comes with the unit is excellent as a tutorial. The hard copy manual is brief but hey, who prints things anymore, you get lots more info on a disk and it saves on printing costs.
Am absolutely satisfied with my purchase.

Outstanding Product
5.0
This is easily my favorite power supply of all that I have purchased.
Features I like:
1. quality and accuracy of output (very low noise),
2. the ability to (optionally) do a full power cut-off on over-current,
3. the default start-up mode with outputs being off (while you make adjustments) and then you can switch them on when you have the output(s) set as desired, and the ability to turn off the outputs while you make adjustments. Aside from the obvious circuit-board safety factor this provides, this also makes it undeniably safe to leave your equipment attached between sessions.
4. One thing I really, really like is its user interface -- probably best in the industry. While it is a good idea to dig into the manual and practice every operation, once you have done so, you will probably never need to refer to the manual again. Reason: the interface (button sequences, etc.) is very intuitive, and gets my highest compliments in that they have also managed to make it VERY DIFFICULT to use incorrectly. In other words, it is very difficult to do anything that would damage your circuit boards by accident. It is VERY easy and quick to get what you want.
Also, when you want a specific output setting, there are typically 2 or 3 ways to get it, and each method is intuitive.
Features I MIGHT change (undecided):
1. The layout of the numeric buttons in a circle is different. However, I have not found this to be annoying or encumber my use of this power supply in any way. Two things that I actually find NICE about this are:
a. the fact that they surround the adjustment knob, which makes for proximity of controls that provide alternate ways to achieve a specific output setting, and
b. the fact that I am MUCH LESS LIKELY to hit a numeric button that is very far away (value-wise) from the button I intended. In other words, if you want '8', it is quite difficult to hit '5' by accident. I suspect this is an intentional user interface design to reduce errors (which in the world of powering [sometimes expensive, prototype] circuit boards, is much appreciated by me).
If I was going to stock up a team of technicians with power supplies, this is the one I would purchase.

My only beef is why Rigol chose to put the AC line cord on the side of the instrument. It should be on the rear.

Rigol DP832
2.0
Bought this specifically for the LAN control but it doesn't do LAN commands well, IMHO. Too fast and it hangs up the instrument. Does not appear to conform to the IEEE commands it supports, namely "*OPC?" for synchronization. One is supposed to be able to issue this command and wait until the instrument completes all previous commands, but the DP832 sees this and others (sometimes) as an invalid command,. Appears to need arbitrary time delays between commands, some times, so one is never sure if you've added enough delay. This leads to too slow scripting and erratic faults so never sure if a long scripted measurement will work or not.
Tequipment Response: The DP832 (with the interface option to enable LAN communication) is commonly used both for benchtop front panel operation and remote automation. Regardless of whether the program is using LXI, USB, or GPIB we recommend adding delays on the order of 100-200 milliseconds between commands. Because of the standard time in which a DC power supply responds and services these requests we find that to be sufficient a majority of the time. Certain commands such as creating or editing sweeps or saving and recalling setups can take longer and care should be taken. The *OPC command is supported and can be used, but should only be used for certain asynchronous operations. Sending repeated *OPC commands every 10 milliseconds to see when it is ready can overwhelm the buffer service just like sending other commands too quickly. Given the speed and capability at which the DP800 series set and measure voltages and currents one can fully utilize its capabilities with a delay set between commands.

Since overheating issues fixed with revised version (I think it's been 2 years since then) - it's time proven reliable and precise PSU capable to handle all needs for home or repair lab.

This is a precision triple output power supply. It has 2 independent 0-30 volt outputs and one 0-5 volt output.. The middle 0-30 volt supply is not isolated from the 5 volt supply. This will probably never cause a problem in my case.
I like the corner bumpers which allow me to stand the power supply on end instead of setting it on a table if the situation merits it. This unit is upgradable to one extra digit if it is useful to you. The upgrade should be less than $100.00 US$. Too many features to mention. The only thing so far that Rigol could improve on this is to make the adjustment control knob stick out more so that you are not wheeling it around with your finger. Other than that the supply seems to be a very good buy for the price!

Good Value for a Programmable Bench Supply

I just received my DP832 a couple of days ago. It arrived double-boxed in two sturdy, close-fitting double-walled cardboard cartons, with ample fitted padding to survive the worst punishment it might receive in transit. I wish that more products were packaged so well for shipment.
I had no trouble bringing up remote control over USB from my Mac using python-usbtmc and python-ivi, both of which are available at Github. Note that license keys are required to enable remote control over Ethernet. After entering them (a somewhat laborious process), it was easy to bring up network remote control using python-ivi and python-vxi11.
I would have preferred a traditional rectangular arrangement of number keys over the odd circular arrangement, but that's really just a nitpick. Entering voltage and current settings is easy using either the encoder knob or the keys.
The "All on/off" button turns off power with a single push, but turning power on requires a confirmation on the menu keys under the display. That surprised me a bit based on experience with other programmable supplies which don't require the confirmation, but it's probably a bit safer. Turning individual outputs on or off just requires a single push of their dedicated on/off keys.
Overall, I think this power supply is a good value.

I have put the Rigol DP832 through a series of test/evaluations and find it good in all respects. It is easy to use, quite accurate and should suit almost everyone's needs.
The software is not top-level, but is useful; I had to export data to a csv file, which opens in Excel, to determine the energy (power x time) used by an LED array that I evaluated.
One minor nit is the additional cost for more accuracy and other features; but this seems to be the way of much current technology.

Great for the price
4.0
It's tough to beat a high end scope, but for the price, this scope does a lot of great things. I do mostly contract jobs with microcontrollers and digital circuitry ranging from 1MHz to 50MHz as well as communication protocols at various slower baud rates. For the protocols, I use a USB logic analyzer, but this scope has been very useful watching other signals (like power rails) simultaneously for noise issues.
If I could get a Tektronix for the same price, I would get it instead, but the functionality packed in this scope combined with the much lower price makes it a good choice for me.
Cons:
The update rate on the screen is a bit slow, giving a less than fluid waveform even at reasonable time scales. This also causes difficulty with the trigger level, but it is not horrible.
Pros:
Price.
Good math functions including FFT.
Good cursor and measurement functions.
user friendly menus.
Free software to interact with the scope and even show the current waveform on a PC via USB (CD included but also need to download a software package from Rigol's website that contains the necessary NI driver).
Probes are mechanically sound - good spring tension and such.
Digital filters available (low pass, high pass, and I think band pass at least) on each channel.
Overall a good scope for most users.

Rigol DP832
5.0
Have had this unit for about nine months and it has been working great. It is easy to use. Was a little worried about the circular numeric input being a little goofy but works fine. The power supply has nice logging features. For example, you can attach a USB thumb drive and have the power supply log voltage and current every second (you can choose the log rate). Feature works great, however, output is a little cryptic. Rigol does provide a documentation sheet to make sense of the ROF (data log file). I submitted a request to Rigol saying that it would be nice to have a Windows program to parse the data. Rigol says they are working on it. Rigol did supply an Excel spreadsheet to help deocode the data. A nice supply.

Accurate, fast, easy to use. What else do you want
5.0
Pros:
Really accurate (within 2 LSB of my references), responds fast, boots reasonably fast (maybe 10 seconds).
User interface on the front panel is really good - simple and intuitive to use w/o having to read the manual or go thru layers of menus. Feels like a quality unit.
Cons: Continuity buzzer is on the quiet side (but loud enough for me), and slow at the default 10 ohm threshold - it's much faster if you set it to 25 or 30 ohms. Not latching, but at 25 or 30 ohms it's fast enough that that's not a big issue.
Probes are simple, nothing special.
Very happy with the purchase - would buy another in a flash if I needed one.

This unit will come in very handy. I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to buy. This unit has many great features, but is not too complicated for new players to electronics. I also have had great experiences with the Rigol DS1102E oscilloscope for many years, so I don't see why this power supply can't be any different.

A great price for a good power supply
5.0
This power supply is a great buy. What makes it really nice is it's upgradable via software. You can purchase the model that has everything unlocked for about double the price of this one, or you can pay to unlock only the features that you need on this model. For example, if you want to be able to hook this up to the network and control it via the local area network, just pay to get the unlock code to enable Ethernet. Another great thing about this power supply is the wealth of support from people on the forums like EEVBlog. This is great in case something goes wrong with this unit when it's no longer covered under warranty. You can simply log into the forums and ask advice on how to fix it. I think that's wonderful. There was one issue with my unit that was a little displeasing. It turns out some of these units shipped with the wrong banana plugs. On my unit, two of the input jacks are just to dang small. The company was more than willing to send me adapters and although I do appreciate the adapters, I would of rather of had replacement jacks sent so I could replace the bad ones myself. Rigol knows of this problem and they have fixed it but there's still a chance you might get one of the defective units. I am positive if I wanted to return my unit to get another one without the same problem, Rigol would of sent me another unit.

Rigol DP832
4.0
I am quite pleased with the power supply and as I am just a hobbyist it was a big purchase for me. None the less as value per dollar I consider it rather inexpensive.
First the bad parts, the jacks are a little tight and all my leads don't fit in as well as they should. Once the warranty is off I will probably drill or sand them out. I find this quite annoying and feel it drags down the unit considerably when judging quality of build. The other thing I find quite annoying for me is the length of the unit. It is considerably longer than any other piece of equipment I have so it does not sit well on my bench. That being said I knew the length before I bought it and still went ahead. Two minor issues are the fan noise and it has a color screen, why not let a user use it as such.
Now the nice parts. I thought I would hate the keypad layout, turns out I love it. The unit is responsive and switches nicely as the power is brought up and down. It switches from output to output nicely and the display shows this clearly. Although I faulted the lack of nice color display patters the display is beautiful, it is crisp and easy to read even from across my bench.
To summarize, if I were to be able to choose this unit over again, I would. Hopefully my jumper leads will fit properly in a newer production model.

Tremendous Value

This bench power supply is incredible value at a $450 price point. It has all the features I was looking for plus options for upgrades. I also purchased the Hi-Res option for 1mv/ma resolution.
I agree with most people that the display is much better than on the DP832A. I don’t know what Rigol was thinking. It would have been nice to have a slightly larger display for my aging eyes, but it is definitely adequate.
I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for the issue of the output terminals. The banana plugs are inconsistent in sizes. I had to ream the holes out so they were all the same. Not that big a deal. For some it might be.
All in all, very happy with this unit.

This is my first power supply and I'm so certain now that I have picked the correct one! There are cheaper ones out there with so many less features. This thing is great. Although right now I don't use the two extra outputs, I'm sure sooner or later they'll come in handy. I love how you can set the amperage and the volts. If I want 3.0V and 1.5A, I got it, if I want 3.5v, 1.5A, I got it. It also appears to be well built. It has some weight to it, it's not flimsy. It's nice and solid. The only thing I'd like to see different is the monochrome display. You can change the colour but everything is that one colour. You can't have mixed colours like you do with the DP832A. Still, for the price, you can't go wrong!!! I love how some of the features are software unlockable. If you don't need them, you're not paying for them! If you do need them, you can purchase them for a few (around 100$ per feature).

This is a great power supply that provides great features, at a low cost. Build quality is superb- and coupled with the $100 add-on, it can deliver and measure in 1mv/ma increments. I use this unit for delivering regulated power to Harris and Motorola public safety radios during maintenance and repair.
I like the display on the 832 better than the higher model 832A, which I find to be a bit more complex and unnecessary.
This is the 4th device that I have from Rigol - every one has been superb value for the money and every one of them compare favorably with my "lab quality" units from Agilent and TEK.
Whether you're just starting your test bench, or already have lots of equipment - these Rigol units are definitely worth a look. Although priced a bit higher than some of the other "economy" units, they perform very well.

My only potential gripe is that the fan is a bit loud at full output and only acceptably loud/quiet at idle where it's fairly similar to the noise of my MSO4014.

I have been using this power supply for a few weeks now and I so far I like it.

Based on the limited test gear that I have, it appears to be well within its claimed specifications. I've been able to leave it for long periods of time (2 hrs) outputting ~60 watts out of two channels without issue.
The only issue I have with this power supply is the calibration date. I understand that there will be some time lost due to shipping and time in a warehouse, but the unit I received will require calibration only 2 months after receiving it. I don't care that much about the calibration because I'm using this for my electronics hobby, but I'm sure some people will.

Love the DS1102E Digital Oscilloscope
5.0
My research on the internet indicated that the Rigol DS1102E is a highly respected instrument by many users. Tequipment rapidly answered my presale questions. Now that I have it in my hands, it is everything I hoped it would be. Considering it is backed with a 3 year warranty makes this a very cost effective tool for my work.

A price/performance standout
5.0
Having worked exclusively with "high end" scopes throughout my career, I was skeptical that the quality / durability would be sufficient (old adage: "you get what you pay for"). I'm now a believer that "I got more than I paid for" (or, more accurately, "I've been overpaying in the past"). This scope is a positive outlier on the price/performance curve.

DP832 Power Supply
5.0
Just purchased the DP832 a week ago... I was initially worried about what looks to be kind of an odd interface for number entry but was proved wrong. Have used the the supply several times with different loads and it has been very easy to use. Accuracy of the volts and amps appears very accurate. Attached the output to my electronic load and both units agreed on voltage and current measurements. Is also nice to have watts calculated and displayed. Need to explore some of the logging capabilities of the supply. Pleased so far with the purchase.

I needed another scope for our test bench but didn't want to spend too much money on it since it's not a piece of test equipment we use every day. The dual channel Rigol looked like it would be just what we needed and the price is great! I must admit for the price I wasn't expecting excellent performance, was I wrong! This scope is performing very well and has become our go-to for just about every test!! Will be buying more Rigol equipment soon!

Lives up to its reputation
5.0
I've had my eye on this oscilloscope for a couple of years and finally decided to buy it. It's my first digital scope and I'm blown away at how easy it is to get measurements of all kinds. Rise & fall time, frequency, voltage, VPP, delay and phase difference between two signals, and all other sorts of measurements are a breeze. Just a push of a couple of buttons and you've got all kinds of info (automatically measured) about your signal!
The only downside... this scope was manufactured in China and the owner's manual isn't translated into English as good as it could have been. However, that's a minor concern as the manual is good enough.
This is a great scope at a great price.

It's responses is very fast and adjustable which is nice. One item I did not like is the low volume buzzer it has which is hard to hear. In a continuity test I found it much faster than my handheld meters but not as fast in detecting continuity as say a fluke 27 but not bad at all. I am very happy with this meter and it has features I have as of yet to use.

Solid Power Supply
5.0
Overview: Simply put, this power supply is a brick. The construction is stout and the exterior has an amazing attention to detail. Performance is spot on.
Pros:
-Two isolated supplies
-Intuitive configuration, I didn't have to consult the manual to get it working how I wanted
-Rigol packaging is first class, I have no doubt that the unit is well protected while shipping. Double outer box and custom formed foam supports on either end of the unit.
Cons:
-Since it doesn't have feet and the screen has somewhat poor side viewing capability, it can be hard to read the LCD when it is sitting on my bench and I am standing above it looking down at an angle of 45 degrees. I remedied this by placing a small piece of wood under the front to angle the front slightly.
-Does not come with any stock banana clips
-The power connector on the back comes out the left side when facing the front of the unit. This is opposite to my Rigol oscilloscope. I wish they could make up their mind.

Having used nice power supplies in the labs of others before but only hacking together cheap junk for my own lab, I decided to try the DP832 for myself. Rigol has been impressing everyone for the last few years now with an amazing amount of professional quality for a hobbyist price.
This supply is no exception. It's responsive, the screen is clear, control is easy, and the voltages are more than plenty accurate. The USB data is fantastic for logging/monitoring purposes for app developers. I've found that it's quite easy even for novice coders to write custom data logging software for this scope.
I can't recommend the supply enough for anyone from hobbyists to professionals on a budget. After examining Rigol's entire line I felt this was the best value. I'm even more confident in this after using it for a few weeks.

My cheap electronics superstore power supply blew up in the middle of a project. Ordered this from TE based on the reviews and my good experience with other Rigol gear we have in the lab. Was very easy to setup and use and was able to complete my project the same day. It is now my daily bench power supply and has worked perfectly. The display is easy to read, the color choice is a nice touch. I like that I can software upgrade it if I need those features later on. The rotary dial style buttons are a little odd, I would have preferred a regular keypad, but it's a a minor issue and I've got used to them. I couldn't find another power supply with the same quality and features anywhere near this price. Very happy.

Rigol PD 832

I JUST CHECKED ON THE DP832 POWER supply that i just purchased from TE and found that the one I got has the newer modified Hardware with the bigger heatsink.
you can check it by looking on the RHS holes, if you see silver color heat sink, then you got the new one.
the old heat sink was black and very small that caused the regulator to get hot and caused the PS to reset intermittently.
I wanted to upgrade to the bigger version with "A" at the end of the model name, i think it means accurate, but it costs double.
may be purchacing the Hi-Res option for $102 is a cheaper logical option.
so I'm so happy with my DP832 Power supply and it does serve its purpose very good.
and may be I'll add the DP1116A later in near future.

The unit itself rocks. I have had no issues using it on a daily basis for over 2 months. The feature meet my needs and the unit is relatively accurate for the price point. It is intuitive and easy to navigate. the unit powers up and is ready very quickly.
Only 2 complaints.
You have to reset the display mode every time you power the unit. For example, if you set the display to invert (Dark background, light colored text) you have to reset it after every power cycle. it is somewhat annoying. After a little while it just becomes routine during the start of your day.
There was not allot of probe swag... Just the probes and alligator clip attachments. The probes/leads could have been a little longer.
Outside of the above, it was a good buy for 5.5 digit meter.

This is my first personal oscilloscope, and so far I've been very happy with it. I used an analog scope in my undergrad, and I always thought I'd want to get the same one when I got my own scope. But when I went to purchase this digital scope, I found out that my school had upgraded after I left and replaced all their equipment with these! While the digital does lead to slightly less resolution than I would get from the analog scope, I'm still very happy with this purchase. The automatic measuring tools are very helpful, and the simple things like including different markers for the leads so you can tell the two channels apart is something I didn't expect but am very pleased with. After having this scope for over a month, I'm still glad I bought it and would purchase the same one again if I had the chance.

4.0
In general I'm very happy with the operation of this supply. All features I've tested work as expected. Rating marked down due to cons.
Pros:
* I've found the somewhat odd but flexible value input control very useful for fine and coarse control.
* High accuracy option usually eliminates need to add external voltage and current meters; displayed values were within specs.
* Channel controls are easy to use. Ability to turn channels off and on is very useful.
* Over-voltage and over-current controls work well, and can prevent damaging circuits.
* Remembers last values entered between power cycling.
Cons:
* Entering feature option codes is unpleasant, difficult and slow. In some cases they won't work if microcode isn't correct but it isn't obvious that's the cause.
* Not all outputs are independent; grounds are shared between 2nd 30v and 5v.
* Takes several seconds from time power switch is turned on to when the supply is ready to use.

RIGOL DS1102E comparison - analog Oscilloscope
2.0
RIGOL DS1102E 2 Channel 100MHz 1G Sa/sec Oscilloscope V00.04.01
Review 02-08-2014
The first impression of the model DS1102E is that it is well made, having a very clean feel with decent hardware. The overall style is attractive. The cooling fan is audible to a point of slight distraction, but this is not a deal breaker.
The main consideration for any oscilloscope is accuracy in delivering a faithful representation of signals measured, and the ability to trigger on any signal in a predictable manner within the bandwidth limits of the oscilloscope.
Test 1:
The RIGOL DS1102E Digital oscilloscope was evaluated for performance in the X-Y mode. For comparison, a Hameg HM203-6 20MHz analog oscilloscope was used in the identical mode.
A stable square wave reference is converted to a linear ramp representing a reference musical instrument note frequency. In this example the frequency is C4 or "middle C" at 261.63 Hz.
The linear ramp will sweep the trace in the "X" input at a fixed rate. If the measured analog waveform, "Y input" or note "C4" in this case is pitch locked, it will not translate to the right or left. For example: if a note is sharp it will translate or move to the left.
It is helpful for the oscilloscope to have the ability to fine tune or "uncal" the volts/div range for X and Y in this mode of operation, and also the X position adjustment is critical for a centering of the waveform on the screen. This is to achieve a decent viewable image.
Y axis:
This is the real time measured signal. V-position and volts/div will set the vertical position and the height respectfully of the measured waveform.
X-axis:
The sweep width across the scopes screen is dependent on the volts/div setting and a fine adjust or "uncal" is necessary to fill the screen completely. There should be no dead or wasted space in the horizontal signal seen on the oscilloscope trace.
X-position:
This adjustment is critical in centering the horizontal signal after the X-axis is adjusted.
The Hameg provided a very clean and trustworthy image due to the inherent adjustments of the oscilloscope.
The RIGOL DS1102E did not allow for the adjustments as stated above. There is no "uncal" position for the X or Y axis. Even with the finest increments available selected, the waveform remained truncated on the screen. The image was a coarse representation of the true analog counterpart. Every attempt was made to duplicate the results of the 20MHz analog scope with results that were unstable and unpredictable from the RIGOL DS1102E.
The sampling rate was toggled between Sa=500.0Ksa/sec and 50.0Msa/sec. The highest sampling rate produced an unintelligible signal with random sampling points. The digital representation on the RIGOL DS1102E has undefined samples at times defining impossible data values.
Test 2:
The RIGOL DS1102E was tested for trigger accuracy. The oscilloscope has issues with zero crossings and locking into the basic waveform of a bassoon reed.
(261.63 Hz)
The threshold must be set to capture the highest peak for this scope to lock into the analog waveform. All possible trigger combinations were tested with similar results.
The trigger was tested with the linear ramp and it performed perfectly at different thresholds. The trigger circuitry should be redesigned for stability in complex waveforms.
The HAMEG locked into the same bassoon reed waveform at any position of the trigger threshold translating it on the X-axis predictably.
Test 3:
RIGOL DS1102E
Bandwidth limit was tested to try and clean up the waveform representation. It had no effect, as the digital representation was yarn like or fuzzy misrepresenting the real analog counterpart. HF rejection had no effect on the visual interpretation of the RIGOL DS1102E.
The Digital Filter was tested with a ramp of 261.63 Hz. The type was Low Pass, and the cutoff frequency was set to 20KHz. At a factor or 76 times the fundamental frequency there was significant ringing on the linear ramp. Overshoot occurred at 45KHz (Lo Pass cutoff), and increased significantly down to 20KHz. The intent of the Digital filter was to clean up the yarn like appearance of these waveforms.
As results caused overshoot and ringing, the filter was disabled.
Conclusion:
Beautifully made and with a nice user interface the RIGOL DS1102E showed room for improvement in the above tests when compared to a 20MHz oscilloscope with technology that preceded it by 20 years.
The RIGOL DS1102E is a lobbyist oscilloscope at best.
A storage oscilloscope may be the best bet for those who would like to capture waveforms and make measurements by way of cursors.
For accuracy in waveform traces, an analog oscilloscope remains to be the best bet.

I bought this scope for occasional use for my HAM radio home brew activity. Some of the projects a of digital nature and the DS1102E is far beyond expectations. A very helpful feature is the digital storage. If you want to measure rise times, this is the way to go. Screen not big enough, store it on a stick and view at your computer.I have used it so far for many measurement tasks, that include but are not limited to, for example to check an Oxygen Sensor. I am quite impressed with the device, you can't beat the price. Sure there are other more expensive scopes, but why buy an American name that is basically made in China too.

Nice value
5.0
This is a very nice Oscilloscope for the price!
The speed and sample rate is decent, as is the display.
The included PC software isn't the greatest, but it is certainly better than not including software at all!

Great PSU
4.0
This is a nice power supply for the price. Good resolution and programmable. The over current/voltage protection comes in handy.
I'd give it a 5 if it had knobs for each channel instead of having to hit the button then turn the knob to adjust.

Great Beginner Scope
5.0
I did a lot of research before buying this scope. After reading countless forum posts and YouTube videos I finally decided to buy the Rigol DS1102E. Since I put the scope on my workbench I have really been pleased. I would recommend this scope to anyone.

excellent Scope
5.0
From the moment I ordered the scope I was pleased I ordered a 50mhz and Tequipment did not have it in stock rather than cancel my order or delay it for a very long time they replaced the 50mhz with the 100 for the same price and shipped it then sent me a email stating the upgrade at no cost. It arrived very quickly and am very pleased with the performance and quality. I would recommend Rigol or Tequipment to anyone.

Great value, great scope
5.0
My first oscilloscope was a used Heathkit when I was 14(I'm now 65).
I saw a short article praising the DS1102E in Monitoring Times magazine and a subsequent review in QST.
I haven't owned a scope for many years and I couldn't believe how reasonable it was. More importantly what a quality instrument. I am an amateur radio operator and design and build much of my equipment. I have used it to run tests on all my commercial gear and everything I have built.
The DS1102E is a bargain and a quality instrument, I find it far preferable to the Tecktronix I have been borrowing and at a much lower cost. if I could I would give it a TEN.
The shipping was fast and well protected . Great job, thanks.

Great entry level oscilloscope
5.0
Marvelous entry level oscilloscope with a small but bright and sharp color screen and an intuitive, well laid interface. Great overall construction, nice push buttons and knobs. It has a fan that produces some noise but it's not too disturbing. This o-scope has more than I need for my electronics enthusiast work!

DP832
5.0
I would highly recommend the Rigol DP832 Power Supply. When I ordered my DP832 in September 2013, TEquipment.net held off shipping the unit until a Rigol thermal design issue with initial production units was solved and implemented. My unit works extremely well and I am very well satisfied with it.

Rigol DS1102E 100MHz Digital Oscilloscope
5.0
This is my first oscilloscope. So far, it is a blast to use. I've tested a simple audio circuit with it and am able to see the results very clearly. The menu system is very easy to navigate. I look forward to using it for many years to come.

Great Oscilloscope
5.0
Purchased this scope for ham radio and hobby work. I am very satisfied. Being used to traditional Tek scopes with the attenuation and time scale factors printed on the knobs, it took a little getting used to; but not much. Most of the time the "Auto" function gets me into the ball park. I also really like the built in spectrum analyzer, and the measurement functions that compute Vpp, Vrms, etc. This scope is a great value.

Packed with useful features and and intuitive interface.
The manual is logically presented and clearly shows the use. In addition, there are tons of experts with this scope on the internet that can help you with your specific need.

Excellent Entry Level Oscilloscope
4.0
I am a Firmware Engineer and wanted a something at home that I can use for my hobby projects. This oscilloscope for the price exceeded all the expectations.
Pros:
1. 100MHZ for price is just unbelievable.
2. Lots of features that are hard to find in USB scopes for same price range
3. Connect to PC for capturing images
Cons:
1. Fan is loud(-half star)
2. Probes can be better(-half star)

Amazing value
4.0
Can't believe what you get for the price with this unit. Really happy with it. Small and easy to operate. The build quality seems right up there. Definitely not a cheap Chinese job.
I would have given it 5 stars, but it has a fan that's pretty loud. I work in a quiet environment and it seems loud fans are a trend anymore in test equipment, hate fans.
To all you makers out there, there are quiet fans available, quit using the loud ones. I've had to change out the fan on a few test instruments and it looks like I'll have to do the same thing on this one at some point.

We have been using this oscilloscope in a testing environment for a few weeks and have been very satisfied with its feature-set at the given price point. It is also relatively compact, making it a good option if there are space constraints.

Great value power supply. I agree with the previous reviewer that the numbers in the circle is terrible.
I had heard there was some overheating on a earlier (2013) and it sounds like they have that resolved and tequipment has the newest hardware.

Decent scope for the price

At this price it isn't going to be a tek... but it certainly performs well enough if you know what you're looking for. For the price, there's no question why it's a best-seller. For me, it's a keeper.

Great budget bench meter
4.0
This meter has plenty of features for hobbyists and low-level industrial/commercial work. As long as you don't need ethernet capability or the other communication protocols of its bigger brother, it is just as useful as the DM3058.
Two things kept this meter from getting 5 stars. The first is the small internal datalogging memory of only 2000 data points. The other is the annoying soft power button on the front panel of the meter. There is a hard power switch on the rear, but the front button glows in a pulse pattern like an Apple product. Completely out of place on a piece of electronic test equipment.

Excellent Bench PSU
5.0
Excellent bench power supply for the money. High precision, intuitive controls, and easy to read display. The only issue I have with it is the inexplicable arrangement of the number keys in a circle. A normal, rectangular configuration would have taken about the same amount of space, and been infinitely easier to use.
