Review

The application of my scope is often catching pulses as they pass, and less frequently surfing the waves. High resolution is valuable for knowing what is exactly pulsed. Using a signal generator up to 60 MHz showed that the OWON XDS2102A meets its major specification domains, and the expected detail from a 12 bit resolution scope. The low noise, about 0.3 mV, and 1 mV sensitivity are highly useful for my applications. The supplied software is not very impressive, and the driver does not work for Windows 10, version 1903. No problem for me, because I prefer a dedicated oscilloscope; otherwise I would have bought an OWON VDS instrument without controlling knobs and buttons.
The instrument has a broad wealth of features, and it takes some time to master them all. Since I own it a few days, only the most important have been checked. It feels sturdy and reliable, and I expect the equipment will serve me well for the years to come, for very attractive low cost of ownership.
