OMFG. Better not post that usbscope jokes in reviews. Seriosly, PLEASE.

I know, you will post anyway, but then at least set proper probe mode

don't insult my scope, at least its not a stingray , it actually has very good specs, better than one used on sites for PSU testing, and what I am measuring at isn't even at its finest resolutions, 20mv/1ms is nothing for this scope. If you check USB scopes are almost everywhere now, they even use them in universities. BTW if you tell me not to use a USB scope in my review, you should tell every review site that uses them, and I don't know one that doesn't. Times are changing, there is no need for my to haul a rusty used POS to measure ripple.

Anyways its not something I would use for SMPS development, and it has very limited functions, no generators or anything. it does a few things and does them actually well. It can measure ripple excellent.
I like the pass fail test, i run it and it tells me how often it passes the threshold i set, it is very interesting to see max ripple spike, and then see how many times that spike occurs, the results are surprising. I can capture clear images, record videos, capture 10,000 data points whenever i feel like it. Apart from that I can run FFT tests and so on. From my previous use of desktop scope at school, this scope is just as good, if not easier to use once you read the software manual. I also don't have to worry about isolating the ground. It might not be a $1 tektronics unit, but its good enough. But wait how about I use the same timescale for all my testing......... i looked at your review a bit closer this time Tin...

its in AC coupling, what are you talking about? you want me to measure ripple in DC mode? LOL





I am using the same timescales you used, and ill test the UD7, and if my results are like yours then nothing is wrong, but I am not going to go measure most at 1ms and then switch to 40ns for one.
