Ah, yes.  I see.  I guess that begs the question of if you knew you were to supply a 100 MHz scope for a Client, why you purchased a 50 MHz unit instead.  But you don't have to explain yourself to me.  At least I understand your dilemma now.

P.S.  Black electrical tape?  ;)

Thanks a lot, Mike, for taking the time.  There are some shots in there I'd never seen before.  I see your board is labeled DEMO6 (and flolic's was DEMO5).  Also, they kind of cooked the 2005 Keyboard PCB when they soldered on the pots.

P.S.  One of the files (1477) doesn't seem to be accessible...

Np your welcome, I think the keyboard pcb  is just flux all over the board where they soldered on the pots.
1477 was removed, it was some ddr2 ram I sold on Ebay,uploaded it by mistake :)

well it goes like this: I work for a BOG standard company who design and make air con and cooling packs for vehicles. The companies electrical competence dates back to pre WWII ie: we still use power resistors to reduce 24 V to 12 V but then if your equiping a military vehicle (we do a lot for MOD mostly indirectly) you want it to be robust.

We messed up on a design (nothing new) and need to verify for EMI as they go nuts over that.

We are of course very ill equiped and the way it went was thus:

Eng.: Simon have you got an oscilloscope in the QC dept. ?
me:  No but I have one at home if we need one.
Eng.: It's ok I have one upstairs, do you know how to use one
me: (having thought well yes you stupid **** I just tyold you i OWN one) sure

Later he called me over and showed me his sons ex hameg 303-4 and said "show me how to use it" after some fiddling trying to get a trace out of it as the buttons had obviously been randomly pressed and I'm no scope geek I just use them he said to take it away and get it working and to let him know.

He came back later and explained that the client need a 100 MHz scope but at least we have "this one" that does 30 MHz and maybe 50 (yes for a pure sine wave only i bet) so I suggested my 50 MHz digital. took it in next day and he was impressed and said we'd best use it instead, I explained that I could probably get it to work at 100 MHz although obviosly as this guy is not on the ball (he's the one that can't draw a non abiguos evaporator coils drawing and generally get stuff right let alone understand finer things) he has not thought yet that the client will find it odd that we present a scope with 50 MHz on the face and say it will do 100 MHz, after all the mess ups we have made I know they will think we are as nuts as we are  ;D

oh well will prove to be fun, better than the usual work routine, if only they would take electronics control more seriously I may have wider scope in the job, being a goods in QC inspector is boring  :-\

Mark_O:
Wow!   :)  I'm speechless.

???  David, that surprises me.  I've been monitoring the Rigol websites pretty carefully for almost 2 years now, and I've never seen an ATTEN product there.  Perhaps you could supply a pointer?

Also, Rigol's Head of Service said that, "Atten lives like a kind of thief who never gets the respect."  Doesn't sound like the kind of relationship where they'd host their (competitor's) products on their site.  You can read his full commentary here, under the username RScope.

Also, Rigol filed a lawsuit against ATTEN for violation of copyrights, and won.  You can find it with a Google search.

Forgive me, must of been half asleep when I posted that comment. I was referring to the following site, which is obviously not Rigols official website!
