Pete in Texas, that was very observant of you of noticing my open safe! LOL!!! Yea they cleaned me out ;-)
Constant phase, regarding your questions, the noise that you hear on the video are coming from three sources. It is coming from the DS4054, the DS1164 which is the scope sitting on top of the DS4054, and from my Array power supply. The noisiest is the Array power supply. So the fan noise coming from the DS4054 was not as loud as you may think.
To boot up, the DS4054 took about 20 seconds.
In the 1mV/deiv, the noise was about 0.5mv of noise. It was lower than what I got on the the Agilent 3000 series which was around 2mV of noise.
Here are two more links.
The first is a rehash of the previous videos. The second video is a comparison of the Rigol DS4054 with a Tektronixs 4104 1GHz scope with 10 megs of memory. I took it to work to measure a long time sample time of 633ms. I then expanded or used the time delay to expand and see a sinewave of 10MHz. As I expanded or zoomed in the 10MHz on the Tectonixs, I got some evidence of aliasing on the Tectronixs manifested by some modulation in the amplitude. The 10Megs of memory was not enough. I then made the measurement on the DS4054 and did not get the aliasing effect or the modulation in the 10 MHz signal. The huge 140 meg of memory is a huge advantage and is what makes the DS4000 series a really powerfull scope.
