To the Topic:
I know there are a number of folks here who are not fans of the 3000 series, but it's a lot scope for $2900. Based on a 2014 release, these scopes are not very old either - the "z" series was just released late last year.
I´m one of them - cause we got since january 2018 a WS3024.
Bought in the hope it´s a lecroy, what couldn´t get wrong….
Yes, it´s lecroy style, hefty look and feel, lecroy-specific probe-connections, works without any problems with our AP011 currentclamp for example.
Or full hardware serial decoding...
Nice big bright screen....BUT:
Awful slow response, it seems that the hardware is a little bit too weak for the lecroy features.
And it freezes at several circumstances, only hard reset will help.
Many firmware updates so far and an end is not in sight.
Against my rigol mso 5074, the WS lost clearly in performance….what a pity.
The 3000Z models are improved versions what the hardware concerns.
You can see it that the power analyzer option is on only avaible for WS3000Z versions.
I wouldn´t recommend the WS3000 series…
To get the circle closed, in that case I´m with Dieter...
