New Rigol DS7000

Hello All,

My 2 cents and recent observation.
 
I have a early Rigol DS2102, use only as needed for the pass 5+ years.  Software rarely updated and when I did Rigol Rep. was shocked at the version I had. Works great.  Still has over 1000 min. of trial code active. :-DD
Anyway...
Was looking to upgrade to the Rigol MSO4014 from TEquip. and the price was $ 3500.00 plus 2 Free Bundles of upgrades (Bandwidth and Trigger Code).
Well that price break and the Bandwidth are gone after the 7000 came out. :=\  Snooze you loose.  Now $3999.

Now I will also wait on Dave's REVIEW.

I may just go back and just get the upgrades for my DS2102 only once they run out and save a dollar or 2. :-// :-// :-//

Like I said...My 2cents and observation.

Howard

Concur. Just found the DS7000 would like a few reviews from knowledgeable third parties.

I keep Googling looking for DS7000 reviews from 3rd parties but find only Rigol and distributors posting the videos and specs.

You would think Rigol would have had this out to Dave and others to post reviews/teardowns to maximise their marketing for a new premium product they bill as being the match and better value than the current 'A' brand offerings.

Makes me wonder why we are not yet seeing reviews from the likes of EEVBlog etc?

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but one slightly disappointing thing, maybe, is that the 10 GSa/s  is, erm, muxed over all 4 channels. Whereas on other 4ch scopes, I think, it's just muxed across AB and CD.

So while it's 10GSa/s when using one channel, you can't do the trick of using CH1 and CH3 to still get the full sample rate.

e.g. on a ds1054z with 1GSa/s, you could use CH1 and CH3 and it won't split the sampling rate in half.

Sampling 4 channels on a DS1054z would give 500MSa/s per channel, and the DS7000 would give 2.5GSa/s.

I suppose it's still a minimum of 5x greater.
Using 1 channel it's 10x greater, any more than 1 channel, it's never more than 5x greater.

not at all. 1054z has a single ADC.
