BSIDE O2 handheld, 50 MHz, 2 channels, touchscreen review

A two-channel handheld oscilloscope with 50 MHz bandwidth, 250 MSa/s sampling and 128K memory, a 3.98-inch resistive touchscreen, a built-in seven-waveform signal generator and a 3000 mAh battery.

The bottom line A capable handheld with a real specification — bandwidth, sampling, memory — and a generator built in. Triggering and probes are not described, and both matter the first time a signal needs to be captured cleanly.

The BSIDE O2 listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: two channels with 50 MHz bandwidth, 250 MSa/s and 128K memory, automatic or manual capture of many waveform types and a persistence function; a resistive touchscreen usable with gloves and a side wheel; a 3.98-inch full-view colour TFT with lockable display and one-click waveform saving; a DDS signal generator with seven waveforms; and a slim, rechargeable build with a 3000 mAh battery for more than ten hours.

Bandwidth and sampling on a handheld

50 MHz at 250 MSa/s is five samples per cycle at the bandwidth limit. That is enough to see a signal’s presence and approximate shape at the top of the range, and comfortably more at the lower frequencies car and hobby electronics mostly produce.

A touchscreen that takes gloves

A resistive screen responds to pressure rather than skin, which is why the listing can say gloves work. On a workshop floor or in a car, that is a practical choice over a capacitive screen.

What the O2 listing leaves out

Trigger modes, probes and decoding. A scope without a described trigger can still show a repeating signal, but catching a single event depends on it, and the manual is where to confirm the modes.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 75 € to 90 €.

It is sold in the British Amazon store as well, in its own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.

The American Amazon catalogue lists the product, yet no seller was offering it.

Questions makers ask before buying

Does the BSIDE O2 work with gloves?

The second bullet says the resistive touchscreen can be used with fingers, including gloved ones, as well as styluses and pens, and a side wheel is available too.

What can the O2 signal generator output?

The fourth bullet lists seven waveforms: sine, square, half-wave, full-wave, triangle, ramp and DC, with adjustable frequency, amplitude and duty cycle.
