Budget Brilliance: DHO800 Function Generator
The Rigol oscilloscopes have a long history of modifications and hacks, and this latest from [Matthias] is an impressive addition; he’s been working on adding a function generator to the DHO800 line of scopes.
The DHO800 series offers many great features: it’s highly portable with a large 7-inch touchscreen, powered by USB-C, and includes plenty of other goodies. However, there’s room for enhancements. [Matthias] realized that while software mods exist to increase bandwidth or unlock logic analyzer functions, the hardware needed to implement the function generator—available in the more expensive DHO900 series—was missing.
To address this, he designed a daughterboard to serve as the function generator hardware, enabling features that software tweaks can unlock. His goal was to create an affordable, easy-to-produce, and easy-to-assemble interface board that fits in the space reserved for the official daughterboard in higher-end scopes.
Once the board is installed and the software is updated, the new functionality becomes available. [Matthias] clearly explains some limitations of his implementation. However, these shortcomings are outweighed by the tremendous value this mod provides. A 4-channel, 200 MHz oscilloscope with function generator capabilities for under $500 is a significant achievement. We love seeing these Rigol mods enhance tool functionality. Thanks, [Matthias], for sharing this project—great job bringing even more features to this popular scope.

Die y-Achse ist doppelt skaliert, mit einer unteren Skala für °C und einer rechten Skala für mm/h. Die x-Achse ist mit der Beschriftung "Di. 08. Juli" versehen, was für "Donnerstag, 08. Juli" steht. Die Diagramme zeigt die Temperatur in °C in verschiedenen Farben und die Niederschlagsrate in mm/h in einer anderen Farbe. Die Temperatur wird durch einen roten Linienverlauf dargestellt, der von etwa 10 °C um 12 Uhr ansteigt, um etwa 18 Uhr zu einem Höchstwert von etwa 12 °C und dann wieder sinkt. Die Niederschlagsrate wird durch einen Stäbchenverlauf dargestellt, der in verschiedenen Farben kodiert ist, um die Häufigkeit der Niederschlagsraten darzustellen. Die Farben reichen von dunkelblau für die häufigsten Werte bis hin zu grün für die seltensten Werte. Die Häufigkeit der Niederschlagsraten ist am stärksten um 18 Uhr, mit einer Niederschlagsrate von etwa 3 mm/h. Die Temperatur und die Niederschlagsrate sind in einem Bereich von 10% bis weniger als 5% gekennzeichnet.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 244.
Richard Verdi's new Thames & Hudson World of Art volume on Velázquez (2023), is great on the art, presenting a chronological discussion of most of the painter's works, but much much weaker on the life & organisation of his studio. So, if you want to assess Velázquez oeuvre then this is the book for you, but if you like artists' biographies then give Verdi's well written but tightly focussed volume a miss.

I know how often some troll on the internet threatens to "get a lawyer," and we all know how empty those claims usually are.
But I’m not just anyone. I gave $1,000 to support this project based on promises that were never fulfilled — only to be harassed by them. Now they’re violating my privacy and flooding my inbox with junk.
I have both the incentive and the motivation to move forward with this.

The image shows a close-up of a branch from a plant bearing clusters of berries. The branch is adorned with green leaves that have visible veins and serrated edges. The berries are round and vary in color, with some appearing green and others a deep red, indicating different stages of ripeness. The background is slightly blurred, showing a fence and some greenery, suggesting an outdoor setting. The lighting is natural, highlighting the textures of the leaves and the glossy surface of the berries.
