Hello,

it will be interesting to see if a suitable PC software is finally released. And whether 4 * 6 Gpts/s and 4 * 1800 Mpts are meant.

I would guess memory and its sample rate are shared, between the 8 channels.
Aint that usually Micsigs terminology for their scopes.

Though, its a big fellow with 16" screen, and wickedly thin at just 3.5cm.
Positive to see that they still use the verticalwide-formfactor 16:10 so you get more vertical depth for your 12-bit vertical resolution.  (1920x1200) and not the media aspect of 16:9.
IN Micsig's lower-end scope line, its 4:3 aspect ratio.

Would have loved to see these modern high res 3:2 screens from laptops in Oscilliscopes, and scope vendors using quality screens from fx the Surface Book line, as it is a good IPS screen with vertical depth, but likely to high res at 3000x2000/3:2 (taxing to run all those pixels) but not even sure if its IPS or TFT (likely TFT) in these modern big-screen Micsig oscillioscopes as seen on your MHO3 (14"-1920x1200/16:10) and the coming MHO6-line (16" 1920x1200/16:10)

Hello,

You can't rely on anything. For example, the Siglent SDS3000X HD has 2 * 4 Gpts/s but only 400 Mpts once.

1800 Mpts distributed over 8 channels would still work. But you can't distribute 6 Gpts/s over 8 channels.

The MHO3 has 2 * 3 Gpts/s and 2 * 360 Mpts.

It would be nice if they made better use of the hardware.

Interesting. I'm curious about pricing though.

[egonotto]

Hello,

my guess is that the MHO6-3508 could be around €7000.

That seems rather high to me. The 4 channel version sells for around 3k euro.

[egonotto]

Hello,

at Batronix, the MHO3-3504 costs € 3,568.81. The MHO6-3508 has twice the sampling rate and five times the memory. The R&S® MXO5-83 costs € 33,320.00.

With all due respect to Micsig, but I don't think you can put that into perspective, and not just in terms of price.

Hello,

depends on what you want to do with the device. If you want to do sophisticated analyses with the device, the Micsig is probably out of the question. However, if the basic functions are sufficient, the Micsig has the edge. (If my assumptions of 4 * 6 Gpts/s and 4 * 1800 Mpts are correct).

I doubt the latter. Don't be surprised the memory depth and samplerate are shared across 4 channels. But I'm 100% sure you'll get half the memory and half the samplerate with all channels enabled. Still, having 8 channels is an interesting option for digital work as you'll have enough channels to not need an MSO feature. Only probing will become a bit bulky though.

Could look like the UI differs a bit from the MHO3 series.?

[egonotto]

Hello,

yes, there are now probably two math channels and two reference channels. The previous menu on the right would probably be too cumbersome.
The naming has also changed somewhat.
MHO3-3504 and MHO68-350.

Will there ever be an MHO64-350?

How many saved/reference channels can you have visualized on your MHO3 at the same time?

[electr_peter]

Big screen and very slim form factor - what happens if it falls on it's face?

[radiolistener]

Does it supports to run SDR receiver on it with spectrum waterfall?

[maxwell3e10]

It would be nice to have a new reasonably-priced 8-channel scope, even an 8-bit one. I've been using Yokogawa DL7480, it works pretty well for a fairly old model and is not too expensive.

Hello,

four: " the reference waveform is displayed in blue-violet, and the four stored waveforms can be
displayed simultaneously"

Yep, it's the same as on the older entryline Micsig scope.

Used it when comparing different FFT/windowing variants and where they differed.

Hello,

at evision they have the Micsig MHO68-350 12 Bit for 7.138,81 € including tax.
Delivery time: 1-2 weeks

PS: could it be that the MHO6 no longer has a trigger out?

As currently no detailed spec's seen/given as maximal FFT size. Even whether if d/dt math function is included.
