With the BSIDE O1, the electronics hobbyist gets a very useful and reliable measuring instrument for measurements in almost all circuits he or she encounters. Although the oscilloscope only has basic functions, this is good enough for most measurements in the hobby range. What stands out is the measured bandwidth of 8 MHz and the excellent way a sine wave at that frequency still appears on the screen. The main criticism we have of this meter is the very poor contrast on the oscilloscope's screen. By choosing a lighter colour (yellow or light blue) in the software to display the oscillograms, this drawback can be overcome. A second inconvenience is that the ‘AUTO’ function sometimes takes a very long time to select the correct settings of sensitivity and time base. If you want to measure several signals in quick succession, this is rather frustrating. A pity is the fact that the manufacturer did not opt for a BNC input for the oscilloscope. That would obviously increase the price somewhat, but would allow the use of a standard oscilloscope measuring probe. The multimeter does what it is supposed to do: measure voltages, currents, resistors and capacitors fairly reliably. However, an additional current range of 100 mA would have been welcome!
