I was just googling for Picoscope, and this appeared in the "Sponsored" section above the actual search results. https://www.processcontrolexperts.com/Tektronix/MSO68B-6-BW-10000/ At almost $200,000 that is the most expensive scope I've ever seen! Why does it cost so much? |

Because it's 10 GHz, that's really exotic stuff. $200k is not all that outlandish for high dollar specialized test gear. At a former job we had a HDMI analyzer that was around $100k and it was not nearly as fancy looking as a scope. IIRC my TDS748C was around $40k in the late 90s which would be considerably more today and it's "only" 1GHz and 4 channels. |

How many engineer-years do you think it took to develop? How many do you think they are going to sell? That's your answer. |

Those are rookie numbers. 110GHz 4-channel version of the Keysight UXR-Series scope costs $1.3mil. There is probably less than 100 customers for that worldwide. |

The Tek name? :) If you still think it is expensive, price out a set of IsoVu TIVP1 differential probes for it. At $28K each, a set of 8 will cost more than the scope. |
