I obviously can't share numbers, but the AFR/MTBF is easily 2x better than a lot of our other gear. --- End quote --- I really can't understand why people get so worked up about caps. A failed cap is a very easy fault to diagnose and fix - if you can't fix that you have no business owning a scope ;D |

Either way Keysight won't push out stuff they'll need to fix for free (at least not on purpose). |

It seems that Keysight is not using the best power supplies for their scopes and that also has its benefits: I bought a few Agilent dead scopes, including a great 4 Channel DSO7000 series and all it needed was some attention to the power supply. But in each of these cases, it was not a bad capacitor, instead either a resistor or a NTC broke. Actually I never found a bad electrolytic cap in a broken Agilent scope. |

Basically it's pretty much the same as the 2-channel, with the addition of : 2 more channels 200MHz max bandwidth Black case LAN Temp controlled fan Slower bootup at the moment due to Linux - improvements are promised so wait & see before deciding. I'd say it's borderline uncceptable at the moment. |
