wat - To help keep the hounds off Dave, if you have any general feedback on the scope please feel free to share.   :)
May relax a few who's pockets have money trying to burn themselves out of.  Not me of course...no, no definitely not me....really  ;)
I don't have anything cool to measure yet, that will come soon...

Some marginal comments: it's cool that you can have 4 analogue channels plus the digital on at the same time
Small downside: it takes about 40 seconds to boot

I have one little concern: I don't see how to enter an expansion license, that menu is disabled. (Possibly this will change with the next FW release??)

Possibly only a USB pendisk (with the specific license) will enable the local upgrade??

Rigol-supplied keyfile?

Has anybody ordered their DS7000 with upgrades? How do they work?

Has anyone done any comparisons with Keysight 3000 scopes ? I only see comparisons done with Teks 3000 scopes and we know how hamstrung they can be when there is too much going on at once.

Same as other options, they send a pdf Software License Certificate with the key.

You go to their site, enter the key and serial number and it generates the license file that gets installed via USB.

I've used it a bit, generating some waveforms with a microcontroller (dacs and PWM output, ignore the not-perfect saw-tooth, it's normal like this).

The response is good, just one critic: it should save the settings when powering off: after boot it always starts up with the default settings: all 4 channels active, 1V/div and 1us/div. Digital inputs off.

Probably every other DSO at power up has the settings that were left last time it was used :(

Have a look at the manual, page 19-6, "Power On". Configure this setting to "last" it should work as you are used to.

Even the humble DS1054Z has a menu item to select that... :popcorn:

Press Utility  System, and then press Power On continuously to select "Last" or
"Default". By default, it is "Last".
 Last: returns to the setting of the system at last power-off.
 Default: returns to the factory setting of the system.

manual is your friend.....

Thank you guys ( :palm:

Honestly I wasn't expecting it could exist an option different from "Last", I've never seen it before on any scope (or maybe I forgot about it...)
I'll read the manual, promise!

Hello

I'm buying an Oscilloscope next week and think I get a Rigol MSO7014. What do you think about the unit? The discussion was that my colleague prefers scopes that have a dedicated knob-set for each channel, so I came up with the MSO7014. The other option would be the R&S RTB2K-104M.

Any comments/recommendations?

Thank you very much,

Best Regards, Seppel

Make a test plan to see if the oscilloscope does what you need it to do. If you need to do that on your boss' dime then you better get the R&S RTB2000 or R&S RTM3000 because there will be no money savings. Bosses like to pay for tools which work out of the box and don't need a whole lot of tinkering.

The R&S scopes are also a much safer bet when it comes to firmware updates and support. Rigol doesn't have a good track record getting the firmware on their higher end scopes fixed quickly. Look at the DS2000 and DS4000 threads on this forum.

Hello,

well, the “scope thing” has a longer story. In general we order the scope for one of my colleagues, he'd like to heave TDS2014C (we all know it's a vintage scope), he will use it a lot and he requested to have 4 separate controls. Because the TDS2014C is so hopelessly outdated I stepped in and with the argument that the DS7014 also got 4 knobs we may order the Rigol. Finally I was able to get a better discount on the MSO than the DS, that way I was able to get an MSO. It's a compromise, but considering the TDS2014C starting-point I pulled it very far. The HDMI Output is also something that may be useful on workshops, tech-days,... so I can show off the things we do. The Rigol has an Integral math function, we use the Integral math function a lot on our other measurement systems.

The R&S RTB2k104M with the RTB-PK1 option-bundle was my first choice, but I could not “sell” the “one knob” control to the department actually buying the scope. What also concerns me, the R&S is the piezoelectric effect of the Input, the environment we work in is related to vibration. The R&S is a good scope, that is very likely the next one I will push to buy.

Best Regards, Seppel

The microphonic sensitivity on the R&S RTB2000 is mainly due to the BNCs not being fixed to the case. The RTM3000 has the BNCs bolted to the chassis and this should take care of most of the microphonic sensitivity. Then again I don't think it is much of a problem in real world scenarios. It doesn't look like much but Dave is sending very large impacts directly into the oscilloscopes. It is unlikely a vibrating table causes a similar effect. Also consider that modern scopes have near real-time web interfaces so having a big screen connected to an oscilloscope directly is not that big of an advantage. It is a pity the department buying the scope is so hung up on the 'one knob' because with a good touch screen interface you can do without the knobs AND work faster.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

The "piezo effect" is a hard sell if you have to specify the oscilloscope where someone else has to use as well and may have his mind set on a specific model that does not have this effect (I am assuming this does not happen).

I would contact the three manufacturers and get demo units to get the "approval" of everyone involved. That would be a much safer approach, although you may not have the luxury of time.

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...

Dunno when it started, but there seems to be a sale where you get all the protocol decoders, the power quality measurement and the AWG (on MSO models) options for free until end of this year:

Hello,

we just bought a Rigol MSO7k with Trigger-options, my first impressions:

  • You can increase the brightness of the MSO7k, per default it's dim, after setting it to 80-90% it is ok.
  • Having HDMI is awesome  8) , I tried it with a big screen in a meeting-room, cool feature. I'll propose we will use it on one of the next Tech-Days where we show products to customers. Why they just got 1280*720, instead of the 1920*1080 I have no idea, hopefully they offer it in one of the next updates.
  • Boot-time is ok  :) , I used Tek's, LeCroy,... that were far worse, I think Dave overreacts  :-/O.
  • The protective front cover is included  :-+ , I think every scope(or other equipment) should have it included as standard. It makes storage very convenient, very nice.

It'll take a while until I can come up with some more details, currently I'm very busy with project management,... In January I'll have more time.

Best Regards, Seppel

500MHz and 500M memory are not options that Rigol have disclosed. Interesting.
Just think, they are selling, at a profit, a 4CH 500MHz mixed signal scope with 500M of memory and dual ARB's for as little as US$900 retail.

Highly unlikely to be a problem in practice, the feet and case decoupling would almost certainly attenuate anything to down in to the existing noise floor.

If the company is paying, and money isn't really an issue, get the R&S, it's a much nicer and more capable scope with the 10bit ADC. Little contest there really.

The v00.01.01.07.01 .GEL file is a .TAR archive and can be opened with the 7-zip decompressor.

Inside there are the following files:
<snip>
fw4linux.sh and fw4uboot.sh are 2 AES-CBC encrypted shell scripts
<snip>

I'm curious, I'm looking at both shell scripts, but the first character seems to be off in both. In fw4linux.sh the first character seems to be an '=' but I'm quite guessing it should be a '#' to make the first line a comment. I can't seem to spot what caused the error, it's not a simple bit-flip ..
as for fw4uboot.sh, it seems to be missing the entire first character ...

Can you double check if this is indeed what went wrong?

Finally, I think the shebang went missing on purpose; they probably are calling the script as `sh fw4linux.sh` somewhere so the executability likely won't matter ...

The first 4 bytes are (what I think is) a CRC32, after decryption! I didn't bother to verify but I can if needed.

So, I cutted those 4 bytes. (i think all of them)

I assume that if that is important maybe they, when removing the CRC, replace it with the proper #.

I have the AES key in the 5000 thread, so you can do the decryption yourself to validate.

I don't have a scope yet, so I'll see if I can run the binary in qemu (I have it from the fw update). But if you manually did some cutting, then that can explain things, or rather, maybe they muked up the en/decryption of the file and it's not exactly 32 bits (I would not be suprised there).

But thanks, that explains it!

I've recently tried this scope.
It's full of bugs, regularly locks up and hardly worthy as a serious instrument at this time.
1. Using the search button regularly causes a lock up
2. Memory waveform recall.. lucky if it does.. partial recall, sometimes none, sometimes a bit, occasionally most.
3. Cursors that have been moved offscreen loose their position when the other cursor is moved.
4. Cursors don't track the math trace properly
5. Trigger rearm time seemed to be 60ms,  no hope of storing fast segments into memory
6. Plugging in a probe generated a whole load of screen data/noise killing the current view.
7.. There were others.
