DS-203 – DS-203 3.0" LCD Pocket Mini Oscilloscope Reviews

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
Its relatively easy to operate when you figure it out. Its compact, portable and it has output generator (square, lowbitrate-sinewave, triagnle, saw) with adjustable frequency. 2-analog inputs, and 2 digital. Battery big enough to finish your measurement, without need of charging. :)
Cons:
Its hard to operate it at first, but you will get to it. Capacitive calibration is problematic due construction of the input section.
Other:
If you search for relatively cheap oscilloscope that can show PWM, and you are okay with a little inaccuracy of measured voltage (+-10%), then its yours. If i was looking for pocket oscilloscope it will be definitely next buy.
Bottomline:
Max input voltage 80Vpp Charged via USB, runtime on battery havent found yet. (1000mah lipo) - pl384070 I recommend, when you buy it, to remove the back cover and adujst those sharp points on it that could damage the battery.
