New Tektronix 3 Series MDO

<< < (16/35) > >>

Tek seems to have gone backwards with the Spectrum Analyzer on tyhe MDO3 compared to the MDO3000.

However the MDO4, 5 and 6 have Spectrum View which takes advantage of features built into the new ASIC's. I was told that this feature is available on each channel. Nice  :-+

I just got a marketing email for the 3 series, up to $7k off + free modules.
Got me thinking, it's been a year now, and given how the release was kinda met with, meh on here, what's the thinking now?
Has anyone bought one or is considering buying one?, or did Tek miss the mark?

We rarely buy any Tek stuff but a couple of months ago I got a MDO34 1GHz unit with 3GHz "SA" as a demo because one of our clients' marketeers insisted we evaluate them as well (he knew the brand name).

It turned out to be only moderately better than the old MDO3000 (which was horrible). The "SA" is still horrible and performs worse than the cheapest Rigol/Siglent standalone box (which costs around the same as what Tek wants just for the upgrade from 1GHz to 3GHz SA), and the other specs (sample rate, memory) are pretty much the same as with the predecessor. The MDO3 UI is an improvement over the horrible MOD3k UI but still not great. And we found quite a few annoying bugs in the device. The client's engineers also didn't like it.

So in my view, yes, it's as "meh" as pretty much any other scope we got from Tek. Which is rather sad, really.
