Amazing to see the tight integration of everything. microsd instead of nand chips, integrated inductors inside chips, one big heatsink, standard usb power benefitting from scale instead of expensive in-chassis DC-DC, standard android OS... It's built down to a cost, but I'd argue that a lot of these choices are preferred over more custom solutions. E.g. industry-standard isolated USB-C PSU isn't going to easily fail as it already has millions of units in the field.

Worth your time to dig into the Xilinx IO pin datasheet. Reading between the lines there is a LOT of analog capability in the pins in addition to a ~1GHz 4-bit shift-register, frequency multiplier, and 1-2ns variable delay line. The analog capability is a side effect of the 100+ differential, semi-differential, and low voltage swing logic formats the FPGA supports. Ends up that a high speed rail-to-rail comparator on every IO pin is the simplest way to support every logic standard. You can either do fully differential inputs, or feed in a threshold voltage for a whole bank of pins. This comparator is VERY useful and I'm surprised it's not officially documented in the datasheet. TLDR, logic analyzer wired directly to the FPGA will work great but be a bit more ESD sensitive than I'd like.

It's really nice that they populated all those extra small components. Those are always the hardest to find if you want to hack such a device. I tried to add Bluetooth to a slightly older car radio. It has an audio input selector that is controlled by I2C and has traces going to an unpopulated RCA jack on the back used for a cd-changer. It has some kind of a bus system on the board that checks if devices are present and communicates with them. If you unplug the Cd part, there is no CD option in the input selection anymore. With that functionality I can't just solder wires to those rear solder joints but I would also have to populate the components used for the cd-changer bus and somehow trick the CPU into thinking that there is an active cd-changer connected. I now just soldered the Bluetooth module to the front audio-in pins and can change the input by flipping a switch to turn on/off the BT receiver. I could even use that thing as a simple Bluetooth receiver if it is turned off with the audio-in jack as an audio-out.

The discretes being fully populated would depend upon the MFG method. For very high speed /throughput MFG you have one reel for each form factor of components that is pick and place. So for example you would have a 0603 reel and it has all resistor, caps, inductors on it. This allows the pick and place to work in a linear fashion across the board. MUCH faster and if the parts cost fractions of a penny the savings for this high speed is likely higher than having different master reels made. Discretes in volume in China are basically the cost of material +5 to 7%. Master reels (where these discretes are placed in the appropriate position from raw reels to master reels) cost virtually nothing and are often just a contract line item. And of course populating the discretes terminates otherwise open lines. This is an exceptional design. Hats of to the Rigol engineers.

They used to do this for through hole parts which were physically much bigger so you couldn't as easily line 10s of different components up next to each other on a machine. But surface mount components are so much smaller and tapes are what 8mm wide at minimum? You can fit 50-60 maybe more different reels across each side of a high volume PnP machine... Do they really bother to populate custom reels of different surface mount components in a particular order just to make the machines job easier? Doesn't make sense to me...
@dennisfahey2379

Yes they indeed do. If you watch a video on very high volume production consumables (like cell phones) it is phenomenally fast. Reel changes and repositioning adds up very quickly. Generally the Production Engineer will evaluate the cost benefit and order the reel stacking. During the pre-release design review stage (or earlier) you bring in the PE and make sure the Design For Manufacturability needs are met. Part of this review are cycle, throughput and test times. A good PE prints profit really.

SD card would have a squashfs image on it, no FAT or Ext3/4 file system on it, just a bootloader in the first LBA block, that is loaded and executed, that then will extract the file system, mount and decompress, and run it. Would suggest to clone that card to another, as it likely does write logs and temp files to the mounted file system, and that will kill the SD card in short order with all the writes going to the same blocks, as that card probably does have wear levelling, but it does not work well with a non ExFAT file system. So around 50k writes before you get issues.

Seems crazy that Rigol are offering the logic analyser and arbitrary function generator features on this smaller model when it was not on the DHO1000 or DHO4000 series. I'm interested in the DHO914S which includes these features with the 125MHz analogue bandwidth (maybe hackable to 250MHz), so would like to see reviews of how these features perform given that past reviews of Rigol have shown their offerings to be quite buggy and lacking refinement.

Strange to use a micro SD card like that. I've seen that done for a prototype or development revision, but then for later builds they swap it out for an emmc module to save cost. Gluing it in also makes it seem like they don't intend users to swap them out as a means for an upgrade, but maybe for a technician to upgrade?
@techmage89

It's possible they want to be able to quickly/frequently update firmware in the factory during assembly. With SD cards, you can do that with a cheap duplicator machine, but it's harder with an emmc.

Some eMMC modules have very high failure rates. I have a bunch of network devices here with dead eMMC modules, which I can’t fix because the ROM has a very limited eMMC driver. And eMMCs are on small daughter cards, so they were designed to be swapped! If these devices, had micro SD, they’d be simple to repair. Never solder in flash memory if you can, because it wears out too quickly.

Front panel mould can still be the same, just have parts of the mould set that are swapped out to have the logic analyser subsystem in there. Back one they simply use a sticker to cover the holes, cheaper to make 3 stickers with silkscreened labels and part numbers. Termination resistors and bypass capacitors are populated, probably to minimise reflections on the lines, and also the caps are easier to leave in place, so as to not need to change the solder paste stencil, and the glue dot stencil, making it easier to change board numbers on line, just place the extra chips, which are the major cost, while the passives probably added an extra 5c to the BOM cost.

More likely the passives are placed, well the bypass caps anyway, so that the PDN behavior is the same. You'd have to (well, ideally you would, but we all know how often we do it ourselves in practice...) evaluate the supply quality for every assembly configuration. Easier just to leave it alone, and let the low impedance sink a little more current in the case it's unused. The termination resistors hanging around though, beats me =)

@@dreamcat4 No question that it provides more resolution, but I can't think of any instance where I was dealing with a signal of a couple of volts where I needed more resolution. If I was working with a microvolt signal, then possibly. There's also the issue of signal to noise ratio. If I've got anything other than a very clean signal, then the extra resolution is overshadowed by the noise.

I suppose the scope has an internal dc-dc converter to provide all the necessary voltages that can handle some supply voltage changes. Based on your experience and the results of the teardown, please let me know what you think.

First thing I do with most electronics I got (NAS, routers, etc) that have a fan is to replace the fans with Noctua ultra silent industrial ones. They make the typical sizes and come in all voltages. But I would never dare opening up a scope, because I don't know how the Noctua fan might interfere with the EMI, and if the built-in fan is specially optimized for that and that's why it is so loud. Bear in mind, an ultra silent, decent static pressure Noctua fan of that size can cost upwards of 25 Euro/USD, so that's a decent chunk of the scope's price. Plus this fan looks like that would be almost impossible to be replaced.

SD cards can be used in either SD or SPI mode and each others interface might not read the correct data. Or the cards are hare programmed to only use one mode. You could get an SD to SPI adapter used on Arduinos to try to read that card. They might use them as a cheap eMMC alternative which is something I once wanted to try on a QNAP NAS with broken eMMC flash. Sadly I wasn't able to remove the old chip so I just sold that NAS. It was a nice and modern model I got for really cheap. I'm a bit sad I didn't keep it to try it again. I was also able to control it via a soldered on serial port which was kind of nice.
