Thanks both for your input.
I am missing out active probe interface and possibly some megahertz, therefore I´m trying to see whether or not someone have successfully hacked the 7000 series
BTW what is the difference between MSO7014 and DSO7014, did the MSO series include the LA?
The 7000 series is fully upgradeable via non purchase methods
The mso does include a 16 channel LA probe
The 7000 has a larger screen better touch experiance, 10G/s sample rate and 500Mpts of deep memory it's a grown up version of the 5000 a nice user experience. The bode plot function is due very very soon as well for both the 7000/8000 series
We have the 5000, 7000 and 8000 Rigol models and use them every day we like them.
Martin72 made a very good observation regarding the 5000 its rough diamond and he was spot on it's just seriously good value with a plethora or options. It is being thamed nicely now
The 7000 is more refined, nicer user experience coupled with more raw horsepower plus a superb 500mpts of deep memory and 10G/s plus a genuine 50 Ohm scope termination and probe recognition.
It also has the ability to perform multi domain analysis with its inputs which may prove useful as well.
hope that helps
