Issue is a similar spec Keysight is 4x as much  >:(

This scope was physically damaged (it was received with back cover broken. And that plastic is quite good quality and sturdy..).
It has nothing to do with quality and reliability of little Z machine which is very good.
DS1000Z has it's limitations, that are by design and driven with price. But quality is actually formidable.

OTOH, you did mention something I wholeheartedly agree with:  If Keysight was 20-30% more expensive than Rigols of this world with the same specs, most would simply buy big brand.
But they think brand is worth 4x the price. It isn't. It is worth some percentage, but not 4 times more...

Ok if it's been bashed around then yeah that's fair enough. I retract my comment :)

This is the sort of stuff you read here for the first time after the scope has been in the market for at least 7 years, and has probably sold more units than Keysight ever will of any model in their lineup.

While I appreciate that it's bad luck for the owner of that particular scope, it is not going to influence my buying decision when it comes to the next piece of test equipment I might need.

Of course. My comment was a slight stab at Keysight’s pricing more than anything.

well, i've had it on for many hours, i was thinking if i had the multimeter connected to on of the power supply outputs while it rebooted itself and it showed no change, then i would just connect it to another output and repeat, but it just won't reboot itself now for more than 8 hours! i wonder if this error would be the kind that gets worse over time or if i shold just not worry about it and deal with the ocasional reboot?  :-// :scared:
