That "same old stuff" is not bad after all, is it? What is missing? What would you like to see in such an instrument?
For example, there are more protocols around than UART/SPI/I2C/CAN/LIN.
See the complete app package for the keysight DSO-X 3000.
-> YES, it's shared with all the megazoom scopes, because same platform, minus the 1k and 2k, because product line separation
-> YES, old scope with tini tiny memory. Let's avoid the same old
shall we?
See what R&S is offering as options for the RTA and RTM.. now if some more of the RTA options were ported to the RTM it would be cake, i was told it should happen in the near future. And they are
-> 10 bit
-> Touch screen with what seems to be a proper UI (Not saying anything about siglent of course, haven't tried it..)
-> more options to begin with
-> better reputation, if you want
-> around the same price, RTM starts at less, RTA starts at that price
and only drawback i can see
-> Less memory per channel
Look at what picoscopes give you, they may be "cheating" because many things depend on how powerful your computer is, but they do give them.
if i'm even considering 5K eur so i can only look at a signal and see a blazing fast 500 MHz SPI, i'm going to get a lecroy, at least i get histogram and really advanced math (long functions, math on math on math, math on measurements, display measurement trace and so on).
can we also get histograms and really advanced math? Or even an option for power analysis..
To be honest i was expecting it to be about half the proposed price, given the above. I can't see how it can be justifiable if they want to compete
