Excellent entry level DSO w/ Poor PC interface
By Dr. Jake
The good: Excellent entry-level 100 MHz, dual channel, ****stand-alone**** unit. Excellent display and control layout. Menus are nicely done. Build quality looks fine. Extremely quiet fan. Nice spec's, including FFT, channel add/subtract *and* multiply (i.e., built-in amplitude modulation). Large waveform storage capacity and config storage capacity.
The bad: 1) The manual is written by a person who's native language is *not* English. If you've ever tried to read such a manual, you know how much work it is. You essentially have to translate the whole thing if you really want to understand the unit. And it's well over 100 pages of work.
2) There is no documentation for the USB interface to the 'scope, and the EasyScope 3.0 software is about as basic (lame) as you can get. Worse, it saves the waveform files out in a proprietary Yokogawa.com *.wdf (Unix wildcard notation here) file format. I gather from my surfing that Yokogawa licenses DLLs with an API (to Atten), and EasyScope uses those DLLs. There is a cut-and-paste-to-Excel workaround that I figured out, but that's ugly, and you can forget about writing any USB interface code to this puppy, unless you have the time to spend sniffing the USB traffic and "breaking the code". You're better off mowing enough lawns to pay the extra $150 for a comparable Rigol.
In summary, if you don't plan to use the Atten with your Mac/Linux/PC and are happy to merely **look** at stored waveforms on the scope (as opposed to number crunching them on your Mac/PC), buy it: it's a great value.
If, however, you want to do *any* interfacing to the Mac/Linux/PC, you're probably better off spending the extra money and getting a Rigol. (In my case, I want to do i/o to Matlab and my own Mac app). The Rigol provides a clean ASCII Command API, which is IEEE and de-facto industry standards-based (Rigol OEM's Agilent's lower-priced scopes). I hope my modestly costly mistake saves you from the same fate.

Think Value, not Absolutes!
By K. Winter
Agree with the other reviewer that the PC interface leaves something to be desired, though I've certainly found it workable. Really, a 100Mhz scope for $450 (current price, I actually paid about $375 when I bought mine, not via Amazon) that works? As values go, it's pretty hard to beat.
Personally, I don't get all worked up about Chinglish manuals. Sometimes you have to read something a little more carefully than you otherwise would. But between that and the on-screen help, I've always managed to use the scope effectively.
I've been working with a sensor that really stretches the scope, particularly in minute changes in voltage, and it has certainly been sufficient in that regard. I wouldn't say I've pushed it in the frequency domain that hard (most of my hobby designs cap out at 20Mhz).
Still, I'd unquestionably buy it again. I think it's a fantastic value.

Big Bang for the buck
By Eric
WOW!! what a nice scope for the price!! Really nice screen and nice menu to boot! The User interface is quite nice, however since i'm used to using a Tektronix at work it took a little getting used to but not bad at all. This scope is perfect for electrical engineering students on a budget, hobbyists, or working electrical engineers that just want a nice affordable lab setup at home to use for their own projects. Very accurate, and responds well.... Not as fast as a Tektronix or an Agilent but for the price this comes with amazing features!!! Not too loud and doesn't over heat, best of all the build quality is surprisingly premium for such an affordable unit. I was worried I'd get really crappy quality for the price, but to my pleasant surprise this is actually feels like a tough unit that'll last for years as long as you respect it. The buttons feel nice when you press them and the knobs aren't of that poor quality that you get on older scopes. Though I already had probes of my own to use that were better than the ones it came with, it's worth mentioning that the probes that this came with are still well above average quality though they don't seem like they'll last long.
Like the Atten function generator i purchased as well, the pc software and the directions are PURE Garbage. I almost gave it 4 stars for that reason but i realized how little i enjoy using the PC interface in general so I decided to give it the score it deserves... 5 stars all the way!
