I bought the D version (the one with the logic probe) about a week
before they slashed the price on the E version. When the upgrade was
small for the logic probe version, it wasn't that much of a decision.
When they slashed the price of the E version, the D version is now sold
at much more of a premium. [Hey, it could have been worse. I could have
bought the D version a week before they slashed the price.]
The software is terrible if you are running win7 64 bit. You need to
load drivers from the National Instrument website. There are OCX files
that need to be added to win7. [One I found is SPTBDOCK.OCX.] It's truly
a cluster. I have saved files to the usb via thumb drive, but still
can't get them decoded properly.
There is rigol2dat.C. Not working or perhaps pilot error. On
sourceforge, there is wfmconverter. Signal looks fine, but no f-ing scale.
I've got much of it working, but perhaps this is best discussed off the
group.
Try FIVE89TU for an extra 5% off.

A while ago, Rigol dropped the price of their 100 MHz 2 channel scope to be
the same as their 50 MHz version. That was low enough for me. Since then,
they dropped the 50 MHz version to $330.

I'm happy.
It comes with USB and serial ports on the back. I've been playing with the
USB port.
The programming manual and/or firmware have various quirks/bugs/omissions.
If anybody is interested, I'll clean up my notes (and/or code) and put them
on the web.
I've crashed the firmware several ways while debugging things.
I haven't figured out how to do a screen capture over USB. I can grab the
data and feed it to gunplot. (I can do a screen capture to a USB flash drive
and carry that to a PC.)
