I wonder if it will have a faster processor than their series 3 and 4. In my evaluations in 2019 (and later re-confirmed by their FAE earlier this year), the GUI of these two series still take quite a penalty with anything else put on screen, such as FFT, decoding, etc.
Thats still true. Even moving cursors with the knob is annoyingly slow at 4 Series. Really nice concept and functionality of the scope but somehow ruined by the lagging GUI and poor responsiveness.
Yes confirm, I have the 4 series, it is extremely slow. And remote web control is impossible to use
I don't have a 4 series to comfirm. I presume the 3 series would be the same as the 4? I haven't really used any of the new 3/4/5/6 series.
What's the thing(s) that slow it down the most?
In my evaluation, using simple measurements already had a palpable penalty, but still quite workable. Adding decoding or any processing like FFT (I don't recall if I tested simple math) brought such a drag to responsiveness that it severely handicapped usability. Think of a PC with mechanical drive and low memory, where the intense disk swap makes mundane actions such as accessing a menu or closing a window to take several seconds to react to the mouse click while the operation itself executes in a somewhat jagged slow motion.
I think they created the 6 series and started chopping off memory and processor power to create the product segmentation. In my experience they either did not test well their products, did not listen to feedback (common in product dev) or had a bunch of yes men in the room that thought the Tek brand would carry such flaws.
A lost opportunity indeed.
