Thanks everyone :).

Also @bsudbrink, that picture is terrifying. It might also be printed off and pinned to my cubicle wall...

I've done worse to former Keysight employees, Ahh, maybe not...  :-DD

You should definitely have a Keysight swag store. A Keysight sticker on the ol' bench would look pretty good.

How about cardboard replicas of the test equipment? People could put them on their bench, giving it a touch of class.
Currently developing STM8 and STM32. Past includes 6809, Z80, 8086, PIC, MIPS, PNX1302, and some 8748 and 6805. Check out my public code on github. https://github.com/unfrozen

That's a good one. It's the budget way to upgrade your bench with new Keysight "gear."

When I applied for an earlier contest, my video used a printed front panel of the prize over another instrument. Maybe that was a mistake...

Of course I did not win anything, as I had only noted on the 13th. |O
And it did have a bug - via my workplace I could enter a second application, at home not. (at the same time)
But as I already told the TEA crew, it was HPAK where I won the single useful thing ever - my first WedgeProbe.
So I'll keep trying and I would take everything except a scope, because there are only... (must not be said, suppose you know)... :box:

( HP8116A, HP3312A, HP4261A, HP5334A, HP1230A, HP466A, HP8447E, HP E2377A, HP6274B, HP6177B, HP6825A, HP7475A and 2x HP28S, ha!)

Being in the Asia-Pacific competition, I only had one chance - a race to answer a series of questions made available at a specific point in time.  I was otherwise occupied at that time - unplanned an inescapable.  I didn't think it would be worth trying two and a half hours later.   :(

I now wait to see how I fare with Dave's dumpster finds.

While I couldn't realistically expect to win anything, the event and effort put into it is very much appreciated. Thanks Keysight!

Will the list of winners of the South Asia Pacific region Wave competition be posted somewhere? It is currently not in this list https://connectlp.keysight.com/Wave_2019_Winners?cmpid=postWave2019list and was not mentioned in the Wave videos.

Thanks Keysight for yet another great event! I really appreciate the effort of everyone involved.

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...

Somehow I got lucky for the first time in forever and won a scope on the 11th.  I've been studying the manual ever since I found out and I'm hoping to make a thread about it when it comes in.    The email said it will take a while, though.  It gives me time to get to know it on paper first.

Huge thanks to  Daniel and all the Keysight team!!

That's because Daniel is delivering them personally on his bicycle.

If some of the reports from last year are anything to go on, you'll probably be able to recite the manual.

So are the scopes they give away typically fully optioned up or just the base models?

I'm not sure.  But it doesn't matter to me. I am grateful for whatever it has. 
On video of the last day of WAVE 2019, Daniel mentioned that he thinks that it has all options turned on.  On the video starting at 10:15.  But that is no guarantee, just his guess I suppose.

Also, after I sent in the release forms they required, I received a confirmation email back.  But it was an automatic reply and  said the person was on vacation and out of the office until 6/18.  That is a really nice long vacation but is probably a typo of some sort I guess. 

I just hope that the email and form was received properly.

I believe it said it was fully optioned just like the BV-L's. The BenchVue licenses are fully optioned.

Thanks! I do have an EE degree, but have really enjoyed trying out the marketing thing! I always hated marketing stuff (like a good engineer should  :-DD), but later found out I just hated bad marketing!
Also, my time spent on this forum is ad hoc and not an official mandate from on-high. What can I say, you all make me feel at home :).

Delivery will probably take a while. We bribe work with our factory and use some special processes that are outside of our normal fulfillment activities. We also try to make sure we aren't messing up any orders/stocking by sending out prizes.

So are the scopes they give away typically fully optioned up or just the base models?

I'm like 98% sure the prize scopes come with options. If yours doesn't let me or Boon know and we'll make sure to get them to you.


Also, after I sent in the release forms they required, I received a confirmation email back.  But it was an automatic reply and  said the person was on vacation and out of the office until 6/18.  That is a really nice long vacation but is probably a typo of some sort I guess. 

Typo! Boon also picked up some malware from one of the forms from someone, so he's been in IT jail this week. If you sent it he got it.

Possible sighting of the deliveries of all that Keysight alien technology....Maybe we'll have to rename it the EETblog.

South Asia Pacific region Wave contest winners are posted at the end of the list here now https://connectlp.keysight.com/Wave_2019_Winners?cmpid=postWave2019list but it doesn't say what prize each person won. Any chance this can be updated?
