Marmad, thanks for the video - I've watched it previously, several times. I might have seen more of your video productions than Steve Spielberg films
.
The more I learn the more the 2072 just keeps getting better and better looking. If somehow Rigol offered a 16 channel LA version of the 2000 series it could turn out to be a legendary piece of test equipment.
It seems that on an Agilent 2000 series scope it costs about $650 to go from a 2 channel unit to a 4 channel unit. I'm sure there are plenty of uses for channels 3 and 4, but I'd be curious to know how many people here would take the 2 extra channels or take a 16 channel LA with some reasonable amount of software/decodes for the same delta price?
Rigol seems to have determined so far (with their 1000 and 2000 series) that one way to keep the price down is to go with 2 analog channels rather than 4.
In my case I'd take a 2 analog channel scope + a 16 channel LA over a 4 analog channel scope. Maybe the LA could be made available in 8 and 16 channels as upgrade pieces of hardware and some software. At $325 on top of the 2072 or a 2102 to add an 8 channel LA I'd be all over it, but I guess the alternative is if Rigol doesn't want customers $ for an internal LA then we have to buy someone else's external LA.
Marmad, if you get chance to show what can be done with synchronizing LA signals (from one of your external LAs) with analog signals on your 2072 using some combination of trigger ins and outs I'm sure many of us would be happy to see such a Marmad video.
