Impressive feature set for entry level low cost oscilloscope.
I got it to view I2C communications in decoded trace through protocol analyzer. I was not putting a lot of hopes, but now I find it impressive as a replacement of any analog scope in everyday lab for signals running at below 50MHz. The feature and measurements included are great, the analog persistence on display is appealing, and best of all, it can be remotely controlled through National Instrument tools over Ethernet. A less convenient remote scope panel is also available and may be very handy.
The scope does not have a trigger input and operates its triggering exclusively from the samples of ADC.
When not all memory is used for a single shot, the scope combines several traces for "better resolution". They are using some post-acquisition trace alignment, so in this mode one may see weird pictures on display in some corner cases, but for baseline measurements it is fine. I thought it was using a more sophisticated front end amplifiers as in other 1xxx series, but this one is pretty baseline. The sampling rate with 3 or more channels is 250Msa.s, so it is good that the bandwidth is limited by ~70-100MHz.
In summary - this is a great instrument for hobbyist, student, maker and everywhere when working with mid-speed analog and digital circuits and Arduino-style microcontrollers. Read full review...

Wonderful Tech Equipment
What can I say, the Rigol 1054Z is the best selling entry level Oscilloscope in the world. This has a feature rich operating system that is almost unbelievable. With all of the options turned on and the firmware updated it can do almost anything that the antique radio and television amateur and professional technician could want. I will be satisfied with the Rigol 1054Z for a long time. There are many videos on the operation of this oscilloscope on YouTube and any questions that you have can and will be answered on a myriad of forums such as the eevblog forum. Enjoy this nice piece of equipment. Aloha from MauiRead full review...

Best test & measurement tool available for the price.
This oscilloscope has measurement capabilities which go far beyond what most of users require.
In my opinion it is by far the best measurement tool available in terms of bang for your buck.
Quality far exceeds my other Owon DS7102 scope.
I am a test and measurement technician ...yet still surprised in a pleasant way as I learn each new inbuilt measurement feature.
One down side is there is only one vertical shift knob and only one channel sensitivity attenuator.
It has to be shared between all 4 channels.
Making it a button pushing exercise to remember and find which channel the knobs currently apply to.
Overall a great machine though in terms of capability ...maybe not so user friendly at first, but as stated earlier it's a pleasant learning experience which becomes intuitive after a while.

Great scope for the money.
I've used good equipment and I've used cheap equipment. Of the value equipment I've used, the Rigol certainly gives you the best value for the money. And the deep deep memory depth makes PWM-type measurements easy. Definitely worth the investment. I recommend highly.Read full review...

great hackable value scope
This is one of the best values for hobbyist scope around. it is easily upgraded to 100MHz version which is exactly the same product physically. even as a 50MHz scope it is wonderfully usable for most people. the sampling rate and memory depth is better than pro scopes of a couple of decades ago. very capable for all but very high frequency work which is beyond beginners. the 4 channels may be more than most need but if you ever do automotive work, you can use this scope easily. excellent hobby scope.Read full review...

Quite pleased with the bells and whistles for the price.
If you are used to high cost scopes, you can see subtle things such as the responsiveness of the display to the position knobs but for the price you can't beat it. I am using it as a home hobby scope and I am thrilled with it. It is way better than getting a 1980s or 90s used scope for the same price in my mind. I've only had it for a month so I don't know how the "cheapness" will manifest itself with time. I'm crossing my fingers.Read full review...

RigolDS1054Z
The oacilloscope has nice functionality and features.
Build quality in also good
The only drawback is Rigols trick to "downgrade" the scope and charge you extra for software options that are already built-in.
Specifically the rs232 , I2C and SPI protocol decoder .
The scope can also sample in a deeper buffer , but they "detuned" it and force you to buy a license to utilise this option.Read full review...
