If you can't buy Chinese then don't buy Tektronix because their (lower end) products are made in China. Keysight is made in Malaysia but maybe China too nowadays. You could consider R&S which is produced in Europe. The RTB2004 has an option to decode Arinc and it is 10 bit as well. |

I work instrumentation and am looking at an option to replace my group's current scope (it saves to 3.25" floppys) and was considering the 3 series. Features I liked: Very pretty screen. I like pretty colors ability to decode ARINC 429 if you give TEK your first born ability to decode UART I see you all are not impressed with it for the price, but as we are not allowed to order Chinese products where I work, is there something else I should consider instead? I don't think I need high bandwidth, I'm working with simple analog 0-10v signals and digital data streams. --- End quote --- Keysight 3000T series ? It is really fast, feels like analog scope.. Short acquisition memory though. Very good, nevertheless . Rohde & Schwarz RTM3000 series? It's 10 bit, and 500uV/div, very nice for analog (sensors and such). Very long memory. Probably more expensive than Tek, but WAAAY better machine. |

Or if PC USB scope is acceptable Picoscope does it all, and you can have 23" touch screen.... |

I looked at the RTM3000, but haven't received a quote from them yet. Also looked at the wave surfer. Didn't look at the picoscope, but I don't think that will fly with management. One limitation I should have mentioned is that no part of the order can be more than $5k. So we can buy the hardware(Tek scope and function generator option), and then add the software (bus decoders) later when the budget allows it. As long as the company is not based in China, I don't think the bureaucrats here will notice where it is made. I also looked at the HP scope, but Tek gives our company a deal and so it is cheaper. |
