I see this often in my line of work were we buy machines instead of test equipment (unfortunately :) ), when a new supplier tries to enter the market he has 2 choices: - go low in price => then we say it too cheap to be trusted - go almost equal in price => then we say difference is not large enough to take the "gamble" And yet we complain that our machines from the A-brands are way too expensive... :-// |

Basically, the only path a brand has to financial success is to become an A brand. The bargains are found while the brand is not there yet (if it ever makes it)! :D |

After the instrument is upgraded, the performance parameters can be automatically refreshed to ensure that the instrument asset information matches. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- THIS is really cool... :D |

Ah, I totally missed this, I just bumped into the model and found this thread. Thanks google :) We talked about 'rigol former engineer resume' and 'next gen' ... i guess this is it then. Somehow I'm happy it will be FAR out of my budget :) Means I can focus on the MS5000 :p Technically, I think this is the 'Mountain Eagle' (I think it was) platform, so ZnyqMP, 64bits multi-core as the driver of the OS. The app is probably new gui, but same 'insides' (they won't rewrite the flamingo appEntry from scratch, reuse what you can, slap a new UI on top). I've seen the Rigol software development skills, and they are ... desirable. So sadly, I expect that the software quality will be poor, but hopefully they spend more on testing and fixing bug on this platform as this is more high-end/expensive. means probably we won't see any fixes in the MSO5k-8k line ... |
