I see Mike has the updated MSOX logic cable in this picture.
Daniel can you tell us if it offers a performance improvement over the original woven cable or is it simply a cost reduced version?
As this is rather off topic in this thread feel free to include a nice scope boot screen with your response. :)

The UI on the 3000 isn't quite as zippy as the 7000, and the resolution isn't as good either, but I think I find the form factor more convenient. I certainly don't regularly use any of the extra features. What is a bit disconcerting when switching between the two scopes is that the various controls and buttons are in subtly different places, so it's not uncommon for me to find that I have a bit of wavy wondering finger action when switching between scopes.

Interesting, for some reasons I prefer the MSO7104B over MSOX3104A. Mostly because of the larger and more crisp screen and the faster response on all knobs.
I am not sure if I would like the touch so much but one thing that seems to be really great on the new 3000T series are the extra measurements and not just limited to 4 as in the older 3000 and 7000 models.

Touchscreen looks very useful and definitely not a gimmick, even before considering the zone trigger - I already find myself using it for selections from longer menus, and ability to type labels, filenames etc. looks very handy. Seems fairly resistent to fingermarks.
Some useful new measure functions that I could really have used in the past, like pulse/edge counting.
Additional push functions on buttons are well thought out and very useful
The only downsides so far are :
Longer startup times ( approx 3x)
Front panels LEDs are possibly a bit too bright.

How is the noise level with shorted inputs? My DSO7104A is rather noisy even with bandwidth limiting on which results in rather thick traces; I guess your DSO6000 series will be similar.

I think the thing about touch is that it's so common on other devices now that you tend to just start using it instinctively, especially on a new unit when you're not familiar with the knob locations and menu structure.
It appears that you can pretty much drive it entirely from the touchscreen but I don't think this is especially useful as knobs are just better for basic functions.

Oh dear, I really needed this. I've been having a rather troubled week and this is the first laugh I've had in a couple of days.
Fantastic! <3 Thank you Mike!
