Top-10 Digital Oscilloscopes
Loved in the USA

The FNIRSI DPOS350P is a versatile handheld oscilloscope that combines four tools in one: a 350 MHz bandwidth oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a frequency response analyzer, and a DDS signal generator. With its 1 GSa/s sample rate and 2 channels, it covers many basic and intermediate testing needs, making it a good fit for electronics hobbyists, students, and field technicians who require portability and multifunctionality. The 7-inch touchscreen with digital phosphor display offers clear visuals and easy interaction, which is helpful if you prefer a tablet-like experience.

It also includes smart features like the ability to store 500 waveforms and 90 screenshots, as well as USB-C charging with an 8000 mAh battery, making it suitable for extended use away from a lab. On the downside, the memory depth of 60 Kpts is moderate, meaning very long signal captures might be limited compared to larger benchtop scopes. While the handheld form factor is great for mobility, it may not replace full-sized oscilloscopes for very detailed or specialized lab work.

The spectrum analyzer and frequency response analyzer functions add extra value, especially for users needing signal integrity and filter analysis. This device provides a solid balance of features and portability for those who want more than just a basic oscilloscope, but don’t require high-end lab equipment.

The Fluke 123B Industrial ScopeMeter is a sturdy and portable handheld oscilloscope designed mainly for industrial fieldwork. With two input channels and a 20 MHz bandwidth, it suits basic to moderate waveform analysis, especially for troubleshooting electrical signals in machinery and equipment. This model focuses on simplicity and durability rather than high-end lab capabilities. Its true-RMS digital multimeter functionality adds value by allowing precise voltage and current measurements alongside waveform capture.

The Connect-and-View and IntellaSet Auto Reading technologies help users quickly get accurate readings without deep oscilloscope expertise, which is excellent for technicians needing fast diagnostics. The seven-hour battery life with rechargeable Li-Ion battery is convenient for extended field use. The relatively low bandwidth means it might not meet demands for detailed signal analysis or complex triggering scenarios. The display details are minimal, likely adequate but not advanced.

Weighing just over 3 pounds and designed as a handheld unit, it’s portable but not pocket-sized. This device fits well for industrial technicians who prioritize ease of use, durability, and basic oscilloscope functions in the field, but it is less suitable for users needing high-speed sampling, deep memory, or advanced triggering features.
