Your also paying for the calibration with the 34470A.

..which is identical for both instruments.

It's quite simple really. If you have decided to add a 6.5 and a 7.5 meter to your product lineup, you design a 7.5 and downgrade the same design to a 6.5. When it comes to pricing, the higher spec, niche product bears a higher amount of the development costs in it's pricing, as well as the slightly higher material costs.

To argue that the only difference in price should be the material cost shows why engineers are rarely involved in selling anything.

And consumers win too, because invariably the lower end product is better than if it were not derived from a higher spec design, without paying a premium.

Market segmentation is great and all, but be careful with creating artificial market segmentation when your primary market is engineers.  In addition to leaving a bad taste in their mouths, they tend to find a way to hack around it anyway.

Hi all,

I think I may have discovered a bug in the SCPI command of the 34465A.
I'm trying to store png picture using SCPI over telnet issuing the command:
HCOP:SDUM:DATA:FORM PNG
HCOP:SDUM:DATA?
and I found that the output data is partially corrupted.
As an example the PNG header must be (hex) 89 50 4E 47 0D 0A 1A 0A and I receive 89 50 4E 47 0D 0A 1A 00.
Even If I restore the header the PNG is still garbled.
Of course if I try to download the data (I tryed even 1M samples) values are correct.
Firmware version is A.02.14-02.40-02.14-00.49-02-01

I've already submitted a support request to keysight and I'm waiting for an answer from them.

Anyone here knows something?
