NEW 100MHz Keysight Scope Release on 1st March 2017

[TheAmmoniacal]

Do the dumpster schtick serve a purpose I wonder 

[jjoonathan]

Hey, I thought it was pretty funny

[kd4ttc]

I always enjoy the eevblog.  But here is a posting that tells of a new scope without any other site on the internet saying a word about the 1000X series! Way to go, Dave, quite the scoop!

Hey, I thought it was pretty funny

What would have been even funnier is if someone from the building management had come in & found him fishing the dumpster & insisted he put the stuff back as it was now property of the recycling company

I am the building management    (or part of it)

Actually a young girl did walk while I was filming, she didn't think a guy with a tripod and camera in a garbage room was the least bit unusual.
Millennials...

Where is the video? Asking for the link probably makes me look stupid but my curiosity wins this time

What are the chances that the review of the new Keysight  Scope will be one of the top 10 video's Dave has done so far.   Dave can you give a date for that. ( March first ?)

Maybe she didn't think you with a tripod and camera in a garbage room was the least bit unusual.

don't think Dave is "That Guy" yet in the building. He is just another owner, who is there odd hours, and who has only an occasional visitor, and a lot of post delivery.

is there going to be an mso version ?

Not based on the current views of the sneak peak video

Not that I know of.

These look to be a rather interesting entry level scope. About time one of the major test equipment makers comes out with an entry level scope with features that can compete with the runaway success known as the Rigol 1054z.
Even if it ends up being 3x the cost of a Rigol or Instek it could be worth it if the UI is as responsive as their other Megazoom scopes.

However; I'm more excited to hear about this eevblog diff probe...

[jjoonathan]

Normally I would suggest checking the magical dumpster for the new diff probes, but I suspect you'd find that a queue had already formed in front of it.

[nctnico]

Me too although I'm slightly surprised Dave went for higher bandwidth instead of lower cost.

Assuming that this scope costs around $1200 USD, I'm surprised that they didn't create a more stripped, cheaper 50MHz version to grab some market share from Rigol's 1054Z. Something like this being 3x the cost is huge to students or people just starting out in the field.

There is quite a bit of potential to convert beginner EEs to Keysight's brand, and you'd think that they would leverage that. 

Wonder where this new Keysight scope is made? China or Malaysia? I'm not too familiar with Keysight's newer product lines.

[EEVblog]

Assuming that this scope costs around $1200 USD,

It doesn't. The bottom of the range unit is priced very competitively to the Rigol.
Bang-per-buck is a different story.
Let's just say that Keysight are aiming squarely at the Tek TBS1000

China.

It was a new model, so it is what it is.
New models give me a chance to get to market with it quicker and build up a rep for it before others start selling it. Worked a treat for the BM235.
Also, I don't see a lot of point in competing in the ultra-cheap category, you'll generally get beat by others who are happy to work on lower margins.

It seems to be.
The mainstream success of this Keysight 1000X will depend upon it's ability to get hacked.
If the base unit with sig gen gets hacked then it could sell like hot cakes.

I've checked their price on Taobao

TEK TBS1052B 2786CNY (about 400USD)

Rigol 1054z 2330CNY (about 350USD)

But I bet that students will get a healthy discount thus leveling the playing field somewhat

Why? There is so much competition out there with 2 channels and better specs (for example: the DSO1000X doesn't have a LAN connection which is standard on all competing scopes). What sets the Rigol 1000Z apart from the rest is having 4 channels.

That, and being able to unlock all the extra features with a simple keygen.

about better specs, correct me if i'm wrong but other two channel scopes can't use ext trigger as a signal for decoding... and decoding from memory (i still don't understand what happens in the siglent sds 1000x, the last posts in that topic are very confusing. i should have one to play)

Let's see what the exact price is first and then come up with a list of alternatives.
