So looks like your's still works relatively well then Martin!
Another big issue is that the BACK key does not go back on the menu hierarchy navigation, it goes back on the menu navigation steps you took. I cannot reproduce it, but in one case I ended up in a menu option where the settings were changed and I was shown a previous setting
And it also bothers me a lot that the menu options on the display are not aligned to the right navigation buttons. Maybe it is time to create a new thread of all the problems with this scope...
One last rant... you need to press the multi-purpose knob all the time, and it is prone to moving and selecting an adjacent option instead of the one you need... you can scroll and it should set the last option where you stopped when scrolling, without needing to press the knob.
One last last rant... when you press the option key, you are presented to the touch keypad... if you want to use the multi-purpose knob, you need to press the option key again to make the touch keypad go away... then you need to scroll and there is no accelerated function, it just scrolls slowly through all the values... you are not presented by default with the typical values, like the UART baud options, etc
And so on and on and on...
The firmware needs to be completely rewritten...
firmware bugs? Are we fairly confident that they will be worked out
How are thresholds set for decodes?
Hi,
"New" user guide(02/2019 instead 10/2018) is avaible…
I've been monkeying around with XY mode and I have to say I'm not super stoked. A lot of the options that the DS1054Z had are missing. For quite a while the 1054 only had split screen mode, with no option to go full screen (added in a later firmware update). The MSO5000 is the opposite - there's no option for split screen which was handy. I also don't appear to be able to adjust trigger options while in XY.
When you say 'split-screen' mode, what do you mean? The 'zoom' button does some split-screening?
As it was mentioned many times before, measurement instruments don't measure anything. Operator does, using instruments.
Know the theory, know how instrument operates and work within it's operating principles and hardware limits.
So you have 10 MS/sec and 10 Hz resolution bandwidth...
What do you think how fast screen should refresh on this FFT ?
In order to have 10 Hz RBW on 10 MS/s you need to have 1Mpoints FFT. So this is FFT on 1 Mpoint.
And also, in order to get 1 Mpoint at 10 MS/sec , you need 0.1 sec to acquire data for single FFT.
So if FFT took no time to calculate at all, at those setting you would have maximum 10 refreshes per second.
And 1 Mpoint FFT will take a bit of time.
So few times per second is realistic... Even once per second is definitely not slow for a 1 Mpoint FFT at that sampling speed....

Yeah I'm comparing against dedicated analyzers which is probably not a fair basis of comparison. Your point is well taken. Overall I'm pretty stoked about the capabilities of this device, and for the price it's a great solution for my own needs.
