For my part, I was just hoping that they would add a few new functions. Pass/Fail, statistics for example. |

These functions where not promised / specified when you bought the device so there is no reason to expect these (or other) functions to be added. I'm aware some B-brands have made it a business model to put incomplete products onto the market and succesfully hype firmware updates / bug fixes as taking care of their customers but they are not fooling me. The products should have been finished right out of the door. MicSig deserves credit for not doing business like that! OTOH I also like to know what I get myself into when buying a piece of equipment. A clear specification with what it can do. Nothing more, nothing less. No day-dreaming about what it should do in my opinion and getting mad at the manufacturer for not following my dreams. If a piece of equipment can't do what I need on the day I want take it out of the box, I don't buy it. When I bought a TO1104, MicSig was upfront about the state of the firmware and promised to add 'data table view' to their protocol decoding. They kept their word and added this in a later update and it works as expected. When doing an in-depth, almost full functionality test of the TO1104, I had to conclude it is one of the least buggy oscilloscopes I have put my hands on. IIRC I have not been able to find a single thing that didn't work as expected / specified. |

I haven't seen firmware upgrades for the MSxxx series, like the MS310. Most software for that older leagacy-line, that pops up is scope-suite and not user upgradeable firmware.. https://www.eyou.com.au/upload_files/Micsig/MS300.pdf - https://www.facebook.com/micsigeurope/ (latest entry summer 2015) Comparison table.. https://micsig.eu/media/Download_/tBook/The_comparison_table_of_Micsig,Agilent,Fluke.pdf Most of the later Micsig scopes, handle firmware through OTA channels, so you just connect to your WIFI on the scope's inbuilt WIF, and there are dedicated download features/apps for the system's OS, alongside a dedicated app store, where the actual app for the oscilloscope is, alongside other apps, like office, for excel and word etc if the user wanna work with the waveformdata from the scope..also some apps for electronics and apps for FTP access to the scopes folders. for media The first minute of this video' gives an indication of how it works on these newer Micsig scopes. . |

When I bought it, I didn't know if these functions would be useful for me. So many scopes have not yet passed through my hands and I do not develop instruments, so I don't know that they will not be further developed after release, but will only receive bug fixes. I consider it a bit wasteful if the hardware can handle it. But if I buy anything from now on, I will keep that fact in mind. thanks. |
