The Owon XDS3104E oscilloscope is the 100MHz version in the XDS3004E series of oscilloscopes. The series has been expanded with two good entry level 4 channel oscilloscopes with a very good price/quality ratio. These oscilloscopes are an interesting alternative to the 4 channel 1000 series from Rigol and GW instek, and are also priced quite similarly. The oscilloscopes offer a larger screen, higher bandwidth and a higher waveform capture rate than for example the DS1054Z. The oscilloscopes are available with 4 channels and at 60 or 100 MHz and feature a touch LCD.
The oscilloscopes offer low background noise, and a relatively large memory for samples. To process data it is possible to connect via USB (host and device) or LAN to various devices. Furthermore, the oscilloscopes support LabVIEW and SCPI.
The difference between the 2 models is only the bandwidth.
