Never got this with my Rigol's, maybe they got some "fun" and forgot the dirty underwear inside after the last production run for the week
Quote from: MJR on June 22, 2014, 02:03:39 pmThe differences in the plastic composition within each CRT line was quite wide. So I have no doubt you have a stinker. Unfortunately even someone like Sony, who at the time had the best tube and electronics by a wide margin, would have tragic plastic runs in which the various solvents used would resurface as gasses after a couple of hours of use.That's quite interesting!Well, yeah I am planning to let this thing run on workdays when I'm not here, until the last day of the "14 days return, no questions asked" period and see whether this gets better at all.Just one more annoyance added:I tried to use a 4GB USB stick in the front USB port."Flash driver FileSystem init failured!" (sic)I found a thread here about it not supporting exFAT, well it wasn't formatted with that, but for good measure, I re-formatted with FAT32.Still can't use it. Fail.I'm not going to waste hours on researching what magic tricks to perform to make that thing use USB sticks... maybe I'll try 1..2 other sticks if I find them, but if that doesn't work, the thing gets kicked out. Just embarrassing. The old cheapo hantek handled "any usb stick", even bigger ones.EDIT:Another stick, 8GB verbatim, worked. I noticed that it was formatted with 4KB block size instead of 32KB of the 4GB sandisk that doesn't work, so I reformatted the latter also with 4KB, to no avail.
