DsLogic Plus - Trigger on high signal on any of 4 channels

<< < (3/5) > >>

CustomEngineerer:
At some point you've got to realize its probably you thats the problem, and not the equipment right?

NE666:
To be fair to the OP, I don't think I'd be particularly impressed either if I'd spent the ~500 USD (after taxes) on the U3Pro32, which I'd been looking at and which, very likely, shares the same limitation by fact of using the same software.

That's getting rather expensive, for such deficiencies to exist. And that's why I didn't buy into this manufacturer's equipment. The software is 'ok', and better than most at these prices, but it's not really 'good'.

Unfortunately, it seems that to have "high-end" LA features still requires the benchtop LAs of days past.

And how much effort would it be to change the program, instead of checking 2, to checking at least 4 channels for this case? Probably would take 10 Minutes at most.

I guess its the same with the Siglent 12 bit scope series that seemingly share the same software. I am really glad i did not spend a 4-digit price there!

Its just a few tiny little things, that would make a product great. Problem is, people dont really recognize improvement potentials, or they cant just accept that they bought a not so nice product. Best example: mask test on the SDS800X HD: it takes 15 clicks, to just activate and use a newly created mask. And thats with a used filename of one character.  :palm: I cant remember if those clicks include getting rid of the scale/position bug though.

I understand that we are talking about a proper trigger, right? In which case changing the "program" (on the PC) would not get you anywhere. You will need to change the FPGA which needs to make those trigger decisions in real time, keeping up with the 1 GSa/s sampling rate.

There may very well be technical limitations which limit the number of channels that can be monitored. But if that's the case, it would be nice if the limitations were reflected in the  GUI and the documentation, which apparently they aren't.

ok but its not $500, its $400, we don't include taxes in price comparisons.
And OP didn't spend 400, the dslogic plus can be had for as little as $85.

Then feel free not to buy it and use a boat anchor instead.
