Ridiculously small Rigol DS1000z series font size
<< < (5/35) > >>
nuno:
There are many things we see but we do an extra sight effort for that, which isn't good for the sight.
I see 3 more people agreeing or complaining in this thread about the tiny font size. Maybe if we all complain to Rigol about it... in EU http://www.eu.rigolna.com/tech-support/ in the US http://www.rigolna.com/tech-support/ .

Hey guys, guess what, I got an answer from Rigol. R&D promissed there will be a font size "Normal" and "Large" option on the next sw release, which "will probably come soon" :) . The AE answering (which told me also saw this thread here, hi there!) told me the manual already mentions such option (indeed, I've just confirmed; I did a few searches on the manual before that that escaped me) but it isn't implemented on the product (yet). There should be a "Measure" -> "Font size" menu entry with "Normal" and "Large" options.
Hurrey for Rigol  :-+  :clap:

Good to hear Rigol is responsive to user requests. :-+

If they read this ...
@Rigol person: Please read the above post by Maxlor. Because that is worth spending some time on. Make sure you have a single unified set of properly rendered fonts and stick with that. And as a bonus ... one unified set makes it easier for the firmware designer (aka cheaper). The firmware designer just has to consult the style guide that tells him what the proper font is for such-and-such. And this style guide should been written by someone who actually knows how to make things user friendly & optimize readability. (Which more often than not is NOT the firmware engineer).

What I'm trying to say is: with the right choice of font for a given size you can get better readability for the same amount of pixels on screen.

I can fw these comments to the AE support person, in case the person hasn't seen them and since I've already a communications channel open. Someone else cares to backup the requests? The more people asking, the higher the probability of them to implement the requests.

I totally agree with you: the font is way too small and it should be a sans serif, not that "Times" font.
