| Ridiculously small Rigol DS1000z series font size |

I can read the DS1074Z display just fine at normal working distance. But that said, Rigol could have made better use of the available screen estate. Oh well, give them a couple more years to hire someone for the Ergonomics & Usability department. And while that new hire is at it .... BIGGER knobs! If they could just copy/paste the jog wheels as found on some of the 90's HP gear they'd be all set. |

The Hameg scopes have a small screen with little letters, too. :( Well, they are compact scopes. |

--- Quote from: mjkuwp ---Maybe you can pick up a DS2000 series Rigol from someone wishing to 'trade up' to an MSO of the same. just a thought. --- End quote --- I bought the scope exclusivelly for the 4 channels (the signal gen came handy too). DS4000 is too expensive for me and, having a DS1052E, I didn't want to buy the 4 channel version because I can't imagine 4 channels crammed into that screen size (same size as the DS1052). --- Quote from: mjkuwp ---Can you connect it to a PC and view those measurements? just a wild guess. --- End quote --- Absolutelly not... I would have bought a PC scope if I wanted such a thing. I think people underestimate the power of a "stand-alone" instrument. I'm perfectly ok with the knobs's size but wouldn't be shocked to see them bigger. The DS2000 & DS4000 have a bigger screen Miguel, so if they used the same font size as the DS1000Z it would still look bigger. I can't be sure from the video, but the Hameg doesn't seem to have a font as small as the DS1000Z. The DS1000Z measurements' font is 2mm high (even smaller in width, of course), can you measure the font height on the Hameg? Ii get really irritated with this kind of thing, because I do sw for a living, if I had access to the code I could fix this in a few hours. Damned, this isn't a 2 buck crap! |

This is one reason, why I have the Agilent MSO7000B Series scope. I noticed this too, with many new instruments and I think it is the new generation of engineers that have no problems looking at tiny smart phone screen and even smaller fonts. At least on most smart phones and tablets you can set the font size. |

Funny how you can adjust the font size in a $60 "crapy" phone but not on semi-professional $900 equipment :palm: . |
