SPI decoding on a Rigol DS4024

Tried out the SPI decoding capabilities of my new DS4024.
Very nice! It took a little playing around to figure out the settings. Since SPI isn’t completely standard, you need to make sure that the high/low option is correctly configured for each channel.
The picture doesn’t really do justice to the crisp image on the screen.  Click the image below to zoom in for a clearer view.  The screen is non-glare, but the camera seems to pick some up (more than I can see).

The DS4000 series oscilloscopes are big. Compare the 4000 to the DS1052E on the shelf above it.

Various meters over the years.  The probe type meters sound more useful than they’ve really been. 

Bench meters:  BK 5491B, Agilent 34410A, Rigol DM3068

Hand held:  Fluke 289, Sinometer IT803, my 23 year old Metex M-3650B, BK 2709B, Extech430 & 505, BK 879B
