When was this supposed to be revealed - June 7? I don't suppose Tektronix was naive enough to really think they could keep all the leaks under control did they?
Of course not. This is all part of the process - the human race
loves gossip and speculation and believing they know things they're not supposed to know.

Who knows the keygen will also beat the June 7th deadline...

If there's a keygen to unlock all options on the base model then it's going to be a nice deal.
Yes, it is an extra cost. There is no free version of Tekscope software anymore.

At least you can get everything and all the 'Pro' licenses for a one-time fee. Just figure on adding $1310 to the price of the scope and consider it an all-inclusive package deal. That's better than companies that insist on bleeding you dry by charging separately for each and every decoding protocol, etc.

It's impossible. You have to give datasheets and photos etc all the distributors who then load it onto their website ready for release, but the search crawlers will eventually find it.

Will be interesting to see if it happens. AFAIK is hasn't happened for the 3/4/5/6 series yet?
Probably because the prices are so high on those that those who hack things like this aren't going to spend the money to get one.
Series 2 two could be different, it's R&S RTB type pricing for the base model.
Hi all,
Do you have seen that bundles are not only to be purchase for almost any functions,
but there is also a one year subscription only available for each ?!...
They have already in mind that license options are sssoooo expensive that
limited time bundle would be more affordable (Sic!).
Frex
I just noticed this: Apparently the PC software is an extra cost...
(Wonder how much the "MIL" costs?)
Between this, the yearly calibrations and the maintenance contracts this thing could cost a lot of money, long-term.

Just for the scope independent decode its not a bad deal, with the big disclaimer that its offline decode and doesn't enable the protocol/serial triggers on the scope (which are priced higher than the offline package). Now if someone would just make some open source software to do that sort of thing across different bands/models of scope.....

I'm quite sure that if you ask the right questions to the right people a key generator turns up. But IMHO very few are likely to want to use it until the equipment is no longer produced. Personally I want to respect the engineering that goes into making good equipment.

I didn't realize that the 'Pro' licenses were not actual scope licenses....ugh!
Totally unreleated product.

That's a TALL capacitor.
What timezone do the NDAs expire in? Sydney, Australia, or do we have to wait...?

Is that also a tall, badly soldered capacitor?

Only 6.32am in east OZ and likely Dave's not outta the scratcher just yet.

Kiribati. So, no problem.

Be aware that my unit is a qualification build, not production. I've had it since April.
Unfortunately things have come up, and the date has crept up on me, so I won't have a review video available on release.
Finishing off on the teardown video today so should have that. I also have first impressions video and a talk about the design with Andy Tedd from Tektronix on the 2nd channel.
That's gonna be a long day
Bit pissed off the Farnell datasheet link has been pulled ...... anyone have another link or saved copy they can flick my way ?
Grab it now.
link expired
anyone else has a link to the datasheet? thank you!
They called all their other new 3-6 series Next Gen too.
To be fair, it was Next Gen for Tek. Their stuff was very outdated before the 3-6 series that came out. I was sad to see the state Tektronix was in as the former beloved American flagship brand of oscilloscopes. I do think they redeemed themselves with their new scopes instead of selling junk by slapping a trusted brand label on it. As a hobbyist, they are out of reach for me at the moment, but I keep dreaming they will make a killer entry-level scope for the educational market, but I won't hold my breath, lol.
