OWONMSO8202T Series MSO Mixed Signal Oscilloscope with 16-Channel Logic Analyzer, 2 Channels, 200 MHz, 2GS/s Sample Rate

The unit seemed to work as a standalone unit, however the software to connect it to a computer would not work correctly. The CD supplied with the unit would not run at all, and the driver downloaded from their web site installed but would not recognize the unit over USB. I returned this device to the manufacturer.

The only existing review of this is from someone who couldn't get the software to run on their PC and returned it. Fair enough, if you want a scope like this so you can hook it to your PC, you've been warned. I suspect most people don't see this as a critical function (why not get a USB based box that would be smaller?), so I thought I'd chime in as one who has never even attempted to use it via my PC.I bought this when I was overseas to debug a hardware problem so I didn't get it through Amazon. I'm a firmware guy by education, so keep that in mind as you read this. I needed both a scope and a logic analyzer. I had hoped that it would provide true integration of the two functions, but unfortunately it really just has two distinct modes of operation. There are generally ways around that as long as your condition is repeatable, but if you need live, coordinated, mixed signal, I don't believe this unit will do that.That is the main reason I give this four stars instead of five.The manual is Chinglish, but it's certainly not the worst example I've seen. The good news is that figuring out the unit via the controls themselves is pretty straightforward if you've used a scope or analyzer before. If you haven't, well, I still think you'll be fine if you watch some of the great examples out there on YouTube even if they aren't for this partcular scope.The screen is quite nice, good contrast and sharp. The controls all have a solid feel to them. The only real "build problem" I see with my unit is that the control label overlays are just *slightly* off. Parts otherwise fit together as you would expect and none of my fellow picky, nerdy types who have seen the unit have ever said anything about the overlay.The oscilloscope side of the unit has all the functionality I've needed. Good set of signal measurements, pretty easy to figure out the controls. I wouldn't say I've pushed its limits as far as bandwidth, but for all of my analog signal work (mostly sensors of various types), it has performed well.The logic analyzer has also been quite useful. The "Deep Memory" setting lets you store a lot of data, as long as you don't need really high bandwidth. Here the controls seemed a little less intuitive but admittedly all I've ever used before is a USB/PC unit and this has a ton more options with no mouse to help. Again, so far I've worked extensively up to 32Mhz with the analyzer and it has proven itself multiple times.The feature that I never thought I'd use but now love is the battery. You can get this with or without an internal rechargeable battery and after much debate I ended up going ahead and springing for the battery. Then, not a month later I found myself having to debug a problem in a remote location with very limited power. Awesome. In the past when I had an issue with a unit, I'd drag the unit back into my office to hook it up and debug. Now, I just pull the power cord out of my OWON and take it to the problem.Hopefully someone else who has pushed the unit to its limits will chime in here, but I think it's a pretty impressive unit for the price. It's definitely not a two-star product.
