Hi Rich,
I just joined EEVblog because of your original post :-)
I have three R&S questions:
1. when did R&S come out with their first swept-frequency (superheterodyne) spectrum analyzer?
(I know you're a 'scope guy' so maybe you have to ask around internally)(I think ca. 1968-70, but I can't find it anywhere on the net)
2. Please correct me if I'm wrong...but each of the 4 input channels on my (2012) RTO 1024 has it's own 10 GS/sec ADC, correct?
This is to answer a nerd argument: someone is telling me the actual sampling rate is MUCH lower, and also, that the RTO 1024 is based on a 2 GS/s Hameg design.
Which sounds pretty fishy to me
3. Is there any hope to get a sw update from R&S to fix this miserable GUI?
The RTO 1024 is an amazing machine but hobbled by a klunky user interface... (dare I say I'm a committed LeCroy man..? :-o)
:-o
Many thanks in advance for your kind attention and
Best Regards,
Glenn B
