--- Quote from: PixieDust on October 28, 2022, 07:14:15 am ---I'm far from an expert but looking at the oscilloscope landscape right now based on what people are saying on these forums: Tektronix seems to be a brand to be steered clear of for many reasons. However, I think the 3 series form factor is pretty much the perfect scope (for me). I REALLY like the big screen and its layout. I think form factor wise, it's what a modern scope should be like! Keysight seems to be the brand to go to on the basis of what is inside the scope and the software, however the small screen is a big turn off for me. When Keysight released their current line up, my first reaction was, "how do you fit all the stuff on that screen?". Maybe it's a non issue. But then there's rumours of non business customers being left in the dark in terms of servicing/support. R&S has some quirks and similarly small screen to the Keysight. --- End quote --- The new R&S MXO4 scope I have is pretty amazing, albeit it did lock up on my first use with early firmware! I haven't done a detailed comparison, but I believe it's base price ($8k) is not far of a similar Keysight 3000, and in that case there is absolutely no contest, the R&S blows it out of the park. |

It's trivial for example to hack a Tek MDO3000 to get everything. |
