Ridiculously small Rigol DS1000z series font size
<< < (8/35) > >>
Maxlor:
They did partially fix it with firmware 04.*. They changed the font used for displaying measurements, it's now a sans-serif instead of a serif, which makes it easier to read, even if it is still the same size.

As mentioned above, they added a "large" option for the measurements, it doubles the font size and makes it bold. Doesn't look great design wise (overlaps with the trace area), but it's useful when you're sitting at more than arms length from the scope.

I wouldn't call it perfect, but it doesn't annoy me everytime I look at the measurements anymore.

So at the time rep support seemed promising ...
If no NDA is present, could you post the preview image ?

nuno:
Ok guys, thanks for the headsup on the new sw version, I asked the support directly and they said they were still on 00.04.01 (mine has 00.04.00), so maybe they didn't noticed or the 1104Z has different sw from the 1054Z (what model do you have, Maxlor?)... but I asked and they sent me a "changes" file that I haven't yet looked carefully.

I guess I can show the image, there's nothing special about it, it shows the measurements in a big font, which is probably what you guys described. The second image is what I sent back with just a few suggestions (and also made and sent a short collection of the comments on this thread). I see no problem with the text going over the chart area, I preffer that and the area is big, not a big deal loosing a bit of it for a better cause.

At the time they said it was in the works and a new release should't take long (the support guy is excellent and even got me an R&D preview image of what was going to be final result).

You have a direct connection to the people who fix the user interface???

I have a couple of suggestions...!

Let's start with that damned multifunction knob that moves and makes wrong menu selections almost every time you press it.

eg. To change a menu selection: Press the menu button next to it, use the blue arrow keys to move up/down the menu to the item you want, press the same menu button again to select the item and close the menu.

Another way to do it would be keep everything as it is now but allow you to press the "Clear" button to select a menu item as well as pressing the multifunction knob. That would only take about 1 extra line of code but eliminate a lot of frustration.

(In fact, there's no reason why they couldn't implement both of those things....)

Oh, and they could set up a system where people can make suggestions for user interface tweaks like this.
