Let’s Talk About LeCroy Scopes, AKA… the “Wuerstchenhund Holds Court” Thread
<< < (28/28)
tautech:
Wuerstchenhund initiated robust discussion based on his wide experience in the TE field as an advisor to professional purchase. There is little equipment he has not come in contact with or used.

Some could never look past his valuable input which brought complaints and eventually banning.
Later a group of supporters requested his reinstatement here which brings us to where things stand today.

Last I heard he had some talk of relocating which as we all know would be a considerable draw on any of his spare time hence little contribution here for a while.

Would be good to see him check in again......

I'm asking because I wonder how the Wavepro 7300 and the Tek TDS7254 compare.

I wonder how many people who use(d) a Tek TDS7000 scope you'll find in this topic ;D. I'm pretty sure Wuerstchenhund wrote about the TDS7000 (though probably not in this topic). He was not a fan, if I remember correctly, and thought much higher of the Wavepro 7000 series. I have never used the TDS7000 series, so I can't comment.

I believe the TDS7000 series does not use standard BNC inputs, so be sure to budget for whatever adapters you might need (to 50 Ohm SMA/BNC/N or 1 MOhm BNC at reduced bandwidth) if you don't have four TekConnect probes.

A link would be helpful and welcome.

Yep that's my impression as well and highly likely the case; but maybe, just maybe only for the >= 4 GHz models.

Well, anyway it also has some desirable (to me anyway) advantages over the WP7000 (incl. a service manual, possibly even with schematics).

Thank you

Not really. In the end he had to admit not having any hands-on experience / knowledge where it comes to the wide range of problems electronics and embedded firmware engineers need to deal with on a daily basis. Basically he just recommended Lecroy regardless based on his experience in a rather narrow field which just happened to fit Lecroy well (or people he bought equipment for just didn't care / know to look further to see if there is equipment which fits their use case better).
