REVIEW - Rigol DS2072 - First Impressions of the DS2000 series from Rigol

<< < (465/566) > >>

Sparky:
May be this already mentioned somewhere, but I just noticed it: MSO version of DS2000A series is coming!

Maybe that's what the big v00.03 firmware update and version number jump is about?!

See http://www.rigol.com/ and select the Chinese localization.

Will the LA have 8 channels or 16 channels? When is it expected? Details on launch date and model numbers? Pictures?

My speculations:
  - Upcoming DS2000 series with built-in LA? Yes, no doubt!
  - Model numbers: DS2072AD, DS2102AD, DS2202AD and DS2302AD.
  - LA 8 Channels at 1GSPS.
  - Launch in the EU, 6 months after it is launched in China.

Good prediction!  Seems to be 16 channel LA; I'm not sure what the sample rates are though.

The range of brightness is not very dramatic.  Try looking at the rise/fall transitions of the calibration waveform as you adjust the intensity.  You should see the brightness change in them.

You are 100% correct.  When looking at the square wave, brightness has a good effect on the rise/fall lines, and does close to zilch for the horizontal lines.  I finally found the button-push 50% brightness setting in the manual section for the multi-function knob.  So if you read and remember the whole manual, the info is there.  If you use it as a single-subject reference, you'll never find how the knob push sets the brightness.  Thanks, from a part-time user who doesn't remember all the details.

That just went public recently.  I don't think it's been mentioned here yet.  Good catch!   :-+

Yes, there were significant changes to the FW (and substantial increases in size) to incorporate the new LA functionality, AND all the new SCPI commands supporting it.

They obviously focused on those enhancements, and de-prioritized correcting known bugs on the analog side (for now).
