Much More Than I Expected
5.0
Amazing what this scope can do. I was used to 80-90's era scopes with CRT's and no or rudimentary digital abilities. This scope is way more accurate and multi-talented that I was expecting, and probably way more than I needed. But at this price, why not.
About the only negative so far is that the user interface is a bit confusing, especially for someone who is not used to menus on his test equipment.

Excellent 200MHz Scope
5.0
This scope far exceeds my expectations. I read an array of reviews of scopes. Many inexpensive scopes showed poor measurement accuracy. The DS1202 Z E performed well in measurement and my test so far confirm this. This scope was a bit more expensive than some of the alternative scopes but measurement accuracy was important to me. Also it is backed by a real company with a 3 year parts and labor warranty if you purchase from an authorized seller which I did. Some of the scopes on Amazon were branded by Companies with no website or warranty statements.

Rigol DS1202Z-E Two Channel / 200 MHz Digital Oscilloscope
5.0
I wanted a 21st century digital scope to retire my Tektronix 2236. I purchased the Rigol DS1202Z-E because it seemed to be a great value with all the bells and whistles that are handy to have. Particularly for me, the color LCD screen and FFT. My application is the troubleshooting and repair of amateur radio transmitter and receiving equipment that glows in the dark (vacuum tubes). I am very pleased with this purchase. I got everything I needed at a very reasonable cost which allowed me to also purchase a spectrum analyzer that I have always wanted to have. I would recommend the DS1202Z-E to anyone looking for a new digital 200 MHz scope for under $300.

Free extra bells and whistles. Easy to setup, works great right out of the box. Lots of option to fine tune signal being measured. Great noise limiting features, but you must know how to use them. Going from Analog to Digital scope requires learning, but lot of training videos on line by RIGOL. Great scope for the money!

What a difference time makes....
5.0
I bought this for a hobby scope. The last time I daily used a scope was in the late 90's. I wrote some PIO code on the RP2040 and was looking at the resultant waveforms. In every way I could think of, this scope was better than the very expensive ones I used back in the 90s. And to think a 200 MHz scope for under $300 - these are amazing times!

5.0
I'm not sure which I'm more impressed with, the 1202 or TEquipment. They are both well above expectations. I've been using an ancient Tek scope with a nearly unreadble display for some time and decided to get something better. To be honest, there were alternatives to the Rigol, but when TEquipment's price and options inclusion were figured in, it was a clear winner. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. To put it in perspective, my _biggest_ complaint is that the alligator clips on the probe grounds are _very_ stiff!

I have some training and experience with oscilloscopes but it was in the distant past. I wanted an oscilloscope to help as I have redeveloped my interest in amateur radio. The Rigol DS1202Z is well built and a much more convenient size than oscilloscopes that I have worked with in the past. This will be a great addition to my ham shack.

Nice little scope does everything I need it to and does it well. The only thing I do not like and the reason for 4 stars is that the controls for the two channels are one set of controls and you have to switch between channels.

With tons of features, this scope will give me something to grow into in my electronics hobby for years to come. It will take me quite a while to "bump up against" the limits of this scope. If I become that much of an electronics master, I'll be able to afford an expensive scope! This scope does more than any hobbyist will ever need. I watched several reviews before I bought it, and I'm completely satisfied now that I have it here on my bench. The probes are very high quality too.

Possibly the Best Scope in this Price Range
5.0
I used HP and Tektronix dual-trace scopes in my job as a test technician in the 80s. These were bulky and expensive so I never purchased my own. During current downtime I'm getting back into studying electronics. With modern digital scopes we now have access to far more features in a small package for about a tenth of the price so there is no reason not to own one. Rigol makes scopes costing thousands more but this one has more features than I will ever need. In the 80s I had to use a separate expensive piece of gear for decoding and this scope includes that function. The Rigol DS1202Z-E would be an amazing value at twice the price.

Great scope
5.0
I've been very impressed so far. I'm going through EE course, and I needed a scope that can analyze multiple fast signals and perform basic math functions. Now, truth be told, there are plenty of cheaper scopes that can do that, but I wanted something proven, reliable and with fast interface. I'm a programmer by trade and user interface is one of my pet peeves. This scope comes with excellent boot up time, great accuracy, I2C and other serial decoding features (tested, quick access). The only thing I didn't like is slow screen response. But you can see how this is splitting hair. I share the Apple philosophy on interface: all features should be accessible within 3 user actions. In this regard, this scope is excellent. Play with it, learn it, until it becomes intuitive. Once you memorize what all the knobs do, you can get your analysis down to seconds. I haven't tested CSV export or LAN capability yet. But the fact that you can save the data externally opens a huge opportunity for analysis and automation using Python.

I debated hard between this and the ds1054z. I figured 200MHz 2ch was more important then 4ch 50MHz for my amateur radio purposes. Plus they had a “stuck at home” deal for $60 less then the 1054z. Hope this scope turns out to be good. I’ll update review once I get it out of the box and use it!

I've had a 2-ch 100 MHz scope for about 5-6 years from a competitor, and paid almost twice as much for that one as the Rigol. The difference is night and day. The Rigol scope is actually smaller (a plus for portability), twice the bandwidth, has a ton of memory, and has the serial bus decoding missing from my earlier scope. The 30K waveforms/sec update rate is a big plus, as well.

For a general propose bench scope it performs the basic functions necessary to troubleshoot and repair amplifiers. I look forward to testing it's memory and using the scope to capture hard to find glitches that will help predict where the weak spots are for future repairs and reliable fixes. The one criticism is there are times when pushing the multifunction button ,the scope will not respond, which I think a firmware update may fix this issue.
