Same "axis numbering" problem on my brandnew 34465A:

2.5 , 2.5000 , 2.5001  - WTF?  :palm:

Isn't there enough place for:
2.49995 , 2.50000 , 2.50005

--- End quote ---

It's actually...
2.500 10
2.500 05
2.500 00

But, yeah.  Agreed on the :palm: for rounding and truncating axis labels in the first place.  You're not the first to trip over this!

Yes, you're right. And it shows, keysight cannot even round correctly, they just truncated the values... |O
That's not what I expect, when I spend $1500 or more...

Is anybody here, who has a good contact to Keysight/Agilent/HP, who could ask for solving this bug?

BTW: How can I store a screenshot of the instrument's display?

Shure?

Most probably their math package uses "round to nearest even" to avoid propagation of rounding errors e.g. in statistics mode.

With best regards

I think this one has made it in to the requested changes for future FW updates.
Also, I would wanted to have the StdDv shown in engineering notation or proper units and not so many zeros.
Like the 34410A / 34411A has it shown.
5.67 uV on the 43410A instead of 0.000,005 V
Hopefully we will see this in a future update as well.

You can save it to a screenshot or use Benchvue or over the LXI web interface.
It is pretty easy and works well.

No, maybe "round to nearest even" is used, you are right, but...

...on axis numbering, same result as shown in screenshot (2.5 , 2.5000 , 2.5001 is nonsense).

OK. I tried to save to USB and got only raw data...
