Not quite true. SDS6000A has HDMI.

I don't consider the SDS6000A one of Siglent's mid-range scopes. It is, in fact, one of Siglent's top-of-the-line scopes.

It might be Siglents top of the line scope, but that doesn't alter the fact that it still is a midrange scope, albeit an upper midrange one.

"Midrange" is an absolute term, indepedent of the manufacturer. Or would you, for instance, call a 200 MHz entry level scope from, say, GWI a "midrange" scope, just because their top offer is a short memory 300 MHz instrument, which you then consider to be "high end"?

If it is absolute then you should be able to define yes?

As an example:

WaveRunner 6 Zi Oscilloscopes - 400 MHz–4 GHz (in 2011 they were calling that mid-range)

Need more performance or have other application needs? Consider the DPO7000, MDO4000, or MDO3000 series.

Tek cover quite the span for mid-range.

My good old HMO1022 (now discontinued) has a jolly good DVI output.
Good to have when you have visitors in the lab.

Of course, like with cars, classes are not always sharply defined.

Yet there is a consensus about the main requirements for the various scope classes, mainly bandwidth, probe interface, math & measurements, available applications and software platform.

In this case it's quite simple and a single criterion is sufficient to know where to put the SDS6000. Above mid-range there is high-end. And today's high-end scopes are DSOs running on a PC platform. I'm not aware of a single high-end scope running an embedded platform. On the other hand, there are some upper midrange scopes running on a PC platform.

Now that it is clear that the SDS6000 isn't a high-end scope, how can we know it isn't just an entry level scope? Well, the answer shouldn't be hard either. 2 GHz bandwidth, active probe interface, Eye diagram and jitter measurement applications - all these are dead giveaways that this is not entry level anymore.

They would call this "mid-range" even today. I don't see why these things should have changed during the past 12 years.

But that doesn't change the fact that siglent doesn't offer something as simple as video output until the SDS5000X series, and then only in the antique VGA format.

SDS6000 has HDMI, not VGA - and thankfully so for its screen resolution is 1280 x 800.
