What about RIGOL battery and portable use? Can you run RIGOL Scopes and Spectrum Analysers from Battery or portable UPS Power Supplies?

Posted on: December 14th, 2020 by Doug Lovell

A Google search uncovers a raft of battery backed up power supplies but the recommendation is that the DSA800's run from a supply that has a sine output. For thi...

Posted on: December 14th, 2020 by Doug Lovell

14/12/2020
We have found many instruments to be fussy about USB sticks (more common on instruments of slightly longer-standing design).
