No doubt it was promptly returned to Keysight and re-entered their pool of promotional/demo units.

Easy come, easy go, as they say.  He showed up to the lab two days later and couldn't find it, turns out he took it out to the dumpster room himself in a pile of cardboard boxes and the garbage collectors took it away the next morning.

A real shame, but I'm sure he'll scrounge something else up soon enough.

I'm pretty sure that scope had an Agilent label...

Probably because it failed the drop test ...  :o

Well, seeing how the dumpster seems to be where his deliveries take place, yeah ... (though the delivery service seems to be nice enough to remove the items from the packaging for him.  Wonder if he pays extra for that service ...)  ;D
