#oscilloscopes

1 post1 participant0 posts today

It’s #signalsaturday and I’m continuing the #CuteGen™️ test series by looking a bit at the harmonics 🙂 How clean is it?

Starting at 1kHz I’m using my #Siglent #oscilloscopes powerful FFT functionality and with harmonics >60dB down, this little thing really is a decent audio function generator.

I then moved to the spectrum analyzer and did some tests at (much) higher frequencies. Only included 10 and 30MHz here, but pattern is clear: harmonics are generally nicely attenuated, more than 60dB, although at the high end, it’s not quite that much, more like 50dB and a sub-carrier spur appeared as well. Makes me wonder how well the 60MHz version performs 🤔

Looking for anyone who has experience with cheap 1- or 2-channel digital oscilloscopes like FNIRSI or similar brands. I occasionally need to check hardware at home to see if I've configured it properly, or if the components are working properly, and not really keen on spending a lot of money.

My immediate need is for checking the time pulse output from a GPS receiver, so 3.3V/1Hz is fine.

i got one of those cheap little pocket #oscilloscopes off of aliexpress back in late october and it finally showed up a few days ago and damned if the thing doesn’t actually work

the control interface is random madness but honestly i’m kind of loving it particularly for $60 i mean wow
