Third party probes?

A bit weird that a 12-bit scope of this calibre does not have power analysis.
Is it on the development roadmap, and is it going to be a paid option? Kinda sucks if you get the all included bundle deal today, but have to pay again for power analysis down the road.

Hi Dave
My thoughts on this, people who are going to purchase one of these fine scopes imho primarily for the low noise capability as well the FFT performance
For that performance to be fully realised I would suggest that correctly R&S interfaced probes would give a better result although always happy to be proved wrong especially in the wallet department!
That said I did have a demonstration hew micsig fibre optic probe a week or so back and its a far more preferable option that Lecroys offering , plus its pretty darn good as well accuracy wise
I feel it will come down to the option & probe costs for the person purchasing the scope
Currently my Lecroy probe count stands at 22 so to swap maybe cost prohibitive
Yes you can make some respectable DIY probes that would work no question, although I would suspect that the majority of potential purchases will opt for the factory options
Will also take into account that its new product and they have been making firmware changes regularly to keep onto of the teething troubles also its not like Keysights MXR failed at starting gate damp squib.
R&S being very proactive with this unit imho
The MX04 is due Friday so will report over the weekend

Must confess that I have high expectations regarding your MXO4 vs LeCroy comparisons.

Yes, power analysis is on the MXO4 roadmap and is being actively worked on right now.
Question: are there any particular features or functions you'd like in power analysis and/or do you have a list of requirements? We're very interested :)
Edit: yes, it will be a paid option, similar to our other oscilloscopes that support this (K31 option)

But again, we're interested in hearing feedback about what you'd like / need in a power analysis option. If you post (or PM) your feedback, I can guarantee that our product management team will see it :)
