Why isn't there any example pic in the datasheet showing hands+probes? ?
I think we know the answer to that one...
"Get rid of those wires, they distract and complicate unnecessarily the composition"
Whoever took the pics was probably concerned more of the esthetics (exposure, lighting, reflections, Apple-like simplicity, poser's pose etc.) than of the logic of actually using the device.
The location of the probes under the screen might be just fine and might not impede the operation in any way in normal use. Micsig's probes placement above the screen seemed to many a bad idea too. People worried about the wires obstructing the screen, but it turned out not to be the case at all.
Unfortunately I get a feeling that that most of this scope concept is about cool looks... Like somebody up said "Apple of scopes" kind...
BNCs on the bottom make sense because despite all kind of stupid photos Tek takes, that is a cool, thin looking desktop scope. With batteries it will weigh few kilos and be huge to hold with one hand. So like I said, a scope that has mobility of laptop around the lab.. Membrane keyboard might be a hit feature where scope needs to wiped down and disinfected.. Many places you don't get instruments dedicated to you, but basically check out what you need..
This one is small and light, you grab it, take to your desk and it takes little desk space...
This is also why Micsig is brilliant, despite being quite limited in some respects...
Except Micsig is actually portable, has built in battery and you can use it handheld.
I don't know how good this ne Tek is. I didn't try it. I don't know how well it will be accepted..
But I give kudos to Tek. For first time in many years they did try to think a bit out of the box.
They will probably autodestruct with too high prices and usual attitude, but this scope had some innovation in thinking.
