I do the occasional electronics project at home, and I own a nice Fluke multimeter, but every now and then, an oscilloscope would come in handy. I don't really have the space for a full-size desk scope, so when I saw this little box of tricks, I thought I'd give it a try. It's great! All the functionality of a basic 2-channel digital 'scope - cursors, measurements, adjustable triggering, XY mode - in a box the size of a Fluke, with a decent signal generator and an acceptable multimeter as well. The signal generator will do the usual sines, sawtooths, square and pulses, along with a few other more exotic waveforms. The meter is basic, but has all the functions and ranges you would want for most electronics work. The kit is pretty comprehensive, too - in addition to the meter, you get a carry case, USB cable and UK power adapter, two scope probes, a pair of meter probes and an output cable for the signal generator. The manual is a bit sparse and not that well written - if you already know how to use a scope, you'll be fine, but I wouldn't recommend the manual to a beginner. (If you already know how to use a scope, a meter and a sig gen, you won't need the manual anyway - the controls are all pretty logical.) It all feels of decent enough quality - it's not a Fluke ScopeMeter, but then it's less than a tenth of the price! It is powered by a rechargeable (via USB-C) battery, which is good for 4-6 hours. Cracking bit of kit, and fantastic value for money.

The oscilloscope is actually a brilliant little bit of kit! For the money, I'd struggle to find another 'scope to compare the features with. It's compact, boots up quickly and the supplied probe is more than good enough. It's also a multimeter, and comes with pretty good, flexible test leads (stiff, cheap test leads are my personal hate!) The fact that it is portable means you can easily use it under the bonnet of your car, or anywhere where you'd struggle to use a bigger, bench 'scope. The quality of the display is good, bright except in direct sunlight it's not readable; the same could be said of most devices with this style of display. It's rated at 50Mhz, I've never needed to have it up at this extreme of frequency so can't comment on accuracy - it is certainly in line with my bench signal generator which is calibrated whenever I can remember to do it :-) Having two channels is pretty much the industry norm, so hey-ho, nothing to say about that. Battery life seems reasonable, given that all the buttons are backlit and the screen is bright. The built-in square wave calibration to compensate for overshoot works perfectly well. One thing to mention - if you're used to old-school 'scopes with analogue rotary controls, these new-fangled things with buttons and menus are going to take some getting your head around, at least it did mine!

I think its worth the money, not allways clear how to use it but it is a techi tool, overall think it works well.

I have waited to review this. I'll firstly address the battery issue. Mine's been absolutely fine. I've had it for ten months and it's been idle for the last six. Just fired it up and it's showing about 90% full, still charges and everything. I say that because other reviewers have had issues with battery life. I think if you need a scope, this is a great place to start. I purchased the 50Mhz with generator. The broad specs on this are very acceptable for general use, 50Mhz will do most things, the 125MSa/s sample rate is good enough for my use. And the frequency generator is an incredibly useful feature. Not to mention the multimeter, very handy. If you don't own a scope, and you're curious. I would highly recommend the one I bought. I like the frequency generator for fault finding. I've mainly used this on vintage guitar amps. But I have also used it to diagnose injector signal issues in cars. Obviously just two channels, so you can only compare two cylinders at a time. I have a four channel bench top oscilloscope, sampling at the standard 1GSa/s, but I haven't had cause to use it since getting this. It's so portable, does basic DMM functions too and is just good enough for most things I need. I guess my use is diagnostics and fault finding. Fantastic value for money. If you're on the fence, I would recommend you just go for it. Wish we had kit like this fifteen years ago!

There’s not much really to explain. It’s an all in one, 2-Ch scope with a combined Digital Multimeter. Other reviews have stated it’s not a surgically accurate piece of kit but for my basic needs (testing automotive waveforms and power/gnd in the field) it’s about as good as you’ll get on this price point. It’s fairly compact, light weight and extremely clear enough to use but the scope controls can feel a little clunky. Once you’re used to it, setting triggers and changing time scales becomes second nature. My only gripes are the BNC Probes aren’t the best (I use a different set of test leads) and battery life could be a little better but at least it’s rechargeable.

Great hobby and educational scope. Used on a few projects now and it is great. Ideal when helping kids with physics homework. Battery life on a full charge seems a tad short so don’t leave on if not using. Easy to use. Great value for money and does not take up valuable space.

It is very accurate in measurement when used as a multimeter. The oscilloscope is very practical, especially for me that little space in my laboratory. It works well and I recommend it. However, there are 2 points on which I think it could be improved: 1. Sometimes the triggering loses the wave and I have to redo the auto button to resume it 2. The battery does not last long. I recommend using a powerful charger because it could happen that the batteries are completely discharged and the oscilloscope turns on partially with dark video. In fact, these had made me think it was broken. But then I calmly reloaded it and everything was back to the way it was before. I also have to thank the supplier who was quick to reply when I needed them. Recommended.

Normally I don't do reviews, but I was absolutely blown away with this. I originally had a old Rapid Electronics multimeter that sadly died after 10+ years of use. I saw this, and decided to get it, as wanted to gamble with oscilloscopes, due to not having one. I didn't realise when I bought it, but found out through just looking through it when it arrived, you're able to test resistance of resistors and the capacitance of capacitors. I was blown away with this. No more having to deal with the colour bands of resistors, no more having to deal with arduino software to test capacitors. It's all there, and all accurate within of course an acceptable margin. I did swop the multimeter leads out to my other ones, as the ones that come are fixed, so I was unable to swap the end out for SMD probe, alligator clips, and wire grabbing probe. But that's not entirely a problem. Pro's - Features I mentioned above - Packaged nicely - Little carrying case - Fully charged when arrived (In my case) Con's - The multimeter leads it comes with are pretty basic. Can't wait to use this more 🥰😊
