I'd rather work outside. |

--- Quote from: armandine2 on January 11, 2022, 01:12:39 pm --- not planning, but let's say considering filming a test - to inject two antiphase sinusoids into my capacitance displacement transducer - once my bench space is clearer. You can of course see a youtube upload of the generator in action - by Dave on eevblog - Fluke averaging multimeter upgraded to RMS. --- End quote --- ooh! that would be nice to see. about Dave's video, i couldn't find it after some time searching. could you please link it? (or pm it since this starts to get off topic?) Thank you! |

The answer was "Absolutely!!" However, with the present Keysight posture towards individuals and small groups/companies it seems that Keysight is being run and dictated by "others" than engineer/scientist types that made HP great. This posture falls directly into the short term mentality line we see everywhere, create value for executives and shareholders this quarter and don't worry about long term results. As we move along in time we see the results at Keysight, less and less of the old HP in every way, and more and more of just a me too instrument provider :P --- End quote --- Can you blame them with Chinese test equipment manufacturers breathing in their necks and eating a bigger piece of the pie each year? Appearantly a lot of customers don't value the level of support A-brands offer and buy cheaper gear. Staying stuck in old A-brand habbits will drive the A-brands into the ground; they have to react and make their organisations more lean. --- End quote --- Yes I do blame them. What they do make me feel the Chinese products are worthwhile. Besides a lot of their equipment are not made in the USA any way. |

Wait - I have an idea! Just add a bottle of booze to your order with Keysight. Then they will implicitly assume it is a work order :-DD |
