New Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope
bd139:
This sort of stuff is why I’d rather pay 2x as much for a similar spec Keysight.
Issue is a similar spec Keysight is 4x as much >:(

That's a defect, never seen a reset with mine since it was bought many years ago. I managed in the past to make it freeze by sending wrong SCPI commands, but long ago, not with the latest few firmwares.

What sucks is that you need a scope to troubleshoot that ....

Thank you all! i guess i'll have to try fungus' suggestion first, wonder if it's actually a power supply thing and i'll catch it with the multimeter, that would be great, i mean, it would be better if it stopped rebooting itself, but figuring out why it does sounds like the next best thing!

i just had to pay shipping for this one, so i'm still quite happy with it for the price, even after having dhl break the case. i wonder if this problem may have also be caused by them throwing it around during shipping :palm:

What are you on about? This is obviously a 'scope with a problem.
Nobody else's 'scope is resetting like this, hence the suggestion to check the power supply.
