I agree, it should not happen and is annoying as hell. Unfortunatly we can see this kind of stuff happening with basicially all big players when it comes to the modern, digital driven testgear. Tens of thousends of dollars for an MSO Series 4, RTM3004 or whatever - the first firmware releases were spicked with bugs. Pressure to release new products seems to be to bug to hold back until this kind of stuff is fixed... ;/

But in the end rushing out new equipment is doing nobody any good because people will be wary of new equipment and postpone purchases.

New anything is getting scary.  It is interesting how many bugs are found so quickly by folks outside the company.  External testing could alleviate a good portion of buggy new stuff.  Give Dave Jones one and he will find a lot of the bugs :-DD

It is really surprising, I don’t know how they missed in testing. Could guess they released an unfinished product and knew about it. On one hand you hear marketers, and even Danny from Keysight advertise and demo the instrument as amazing. On the other hand, there is a different reality, and it’s like false advertising. Very not Keysight like. It seems they spent so much time on the Pulse and Scope View software features of the instrument software, that the rest they could not tackle, they didn’t have capacity and resources to.

You previously claimed that you get something that Just Works and meets specs when you buy A brands.  That they do proper QA and fundamental functional problems thus get caught before release, and that this justified their higher price.  Do you still stand by that?   Because it looks to me like that's becoming less true as time goes on, if this thread is anything to go by.

Maybe a better question is: at this point, what would you say are the advantages of buying an A brand over a B brand?
