Owon 8102 / Aktakom 2121mv DSO
By Nathan
I purchased this scope from T M Atlantic as an Aktakom ads 2121mv and found the first digits of the serial number are sds8102. The scope is identical in every way to the one pictured above.
I have used it to build a few 555 circuits and found it very accurate the max frequency out of the chip was 398 khz rise time 58ns, and the chip is rated at 500khz rise time of 60ns. Memory functions were easy to learn and work very well. You need a flash drive in fat32 Aktakom's website can tell you how to make it with win7.
the good
Battery power(not included) runs for plenty of time for most uses.
Fan is very quiet. I did not think it even had one until I moved to another room because it is quieter than my fish tank.
Low noise and stable waveforms. No noise and jumpy waveforms as reported in other cheaper DSO's.
Despite the thin profile it is very sturdy and has two positions level and tilted back slightly.
Huge screen. The screen is almost more that half the front of the scope.
the bad
With buttons on the side and bottom of the screen I find myself always having to move my hand around to set up a measurement.
The auto measurements stack up at the bottom left of the screen and encroach on the waveform display if I set up too many.
The Stored waveforms display in a whitish blue color without scaling info, and cannot be changed.
the battery screws in with some very long screws so quick swaps are out of the question.
Overall I purchased this scope for the deep memory and battery power and it performs those functions well. It was very easy to learn how to use this scope and the Aktakom has a built in user guide that just uses a help button. unlike the help in windows this guide is actually use-full.

Best Bang for the Buck Scopes on the market right now.
By R. Garth
When trying to choose a new scope to replace my older Tektronix Digital Scope I kind of went through the seven hells of frustration trying to figure out which one to buy. At first the choice seemed easy as Rigol seemed to be the rave, but on closer inspection of Rigol scopes I was not that impressed, I think a lot of Fan boy Rigol stuff started up because of the Fact that Agilent used Rigol to make their bottom of line scope model so people expect it to be very good and in some ways Rigols are good scopes.
The Owon or Aktakom as it goes by it's USA distributor is IMHO a best value right now because the construction and the features are top notch. Owon in making the SDS8000 series took care of most of the remaining problems in the 7100 series and they upped the capabilities quite a bit.
It's Fantastic 8 inch (800x600) HD screen is the best you can get in the sub $1500 level of scopes. The 10M memory depth is unheard of in a sub $3000 scope, no other model has this memory depth, most top out at about 1 or 2MB. The 2GB sampling rate is enormous for a scope in this price range, most are 500MB some are 1GB but 2GB is huge.
The construction as I said is top notch, it does not feel like a Chinese product it feels like something made in the USA, the fidelity of the signals it produces is very good, I tried mine a SDS8202V up to 400 MHZ and while the signal had dropped about 6db it still had reasonable integrity. Using the 8202V within it's 200Mhz band range it performs like a champ, the triggering is solid, the waveform reproduction is accurate and looks oh so good on that 8" screen. The SDS8101 is the same model just a 100 MHz version which is most likely being limited only by a software lock.
The other great feature of the Owon is that its one of the only full size DSO's that can also be used as a portable, it has a battery compartment under the bottom and uses a single 7.6V 8Amp rechargeable pack (~$59 extra) I highly suggest you get one as you can use the scope for 4 hours on batteries if you need it for field work.
The 8000 series and the 7000 series both have FFT built in which is great because the scope can double as a poor mans spectrum analyzer. I own a 1.8Ghz Tektronix Spectrum Analyzer and on comparison to the Owon I found the Owon was surprisingly good at displaying the Main Frequency but not so great on Harmonics.
The only negatives I have found so far with the Owon is that the Firmware is not fully developed. Don't get me wrong it does a ton of stuff (Make sure to download the pdf manual and take a look) and all of it works perfectly but Owon has yet to really Tap into this Fantastic screen on the scope. They could use it to do split screen Zoom but they don't. They could add in a number of other menu functions and take better advantage of all the fantastic screen space and the really fine dot pitch they have available. During my research leading up to my purchase I did a lot of reading and found that Owon was resistant to firmware changes claiming that they had no Bugs in their firmware! Recently they did a 180 and are now releasing updates to add new features, this is great news as it means that the current Owon scopes may all be getting more features added.
In summary I am impresses, it's a lot of scope for the money and while it may not be as popular as the Rigol it sure beats the crap out of a Rigol 1052 or any of those other Rigols in that sub $1200 price range and that's why I say for right now it's the Best bang for the buck
