This makes me wonder now who got it first, Keysight or Siglent? This budget end scope market has really become quite competitive and when one rolls out a scope with specific features and specs for X dollars, it's not too much later before other brands start to follow with a similar product. In this case I wonder if Keysight was putting their 1000x series together and saw Siglents bode plot feature and thought they should include it as well.
I'm pretty sure Siglent copied Keysight.
The Keysight was released in Feb 2017, but I was given the prototype by a guy in a trench coat in the back alley at the Electronex show in Sep 2016
Copy what? Quite a hard accusation or suspicion.
No it's not, there is nothing wrong with copying/matching a
feature that competitor brings out, that's normal business practice.
BTW, Siglent
have copied the UI of Keysight gear
completely in previous products, down to every menu option and screen layout.
Perhaps Keysight copied some others idea that also oscilloscope may have SFRA.
Of course they did, SFA in a scope is not new, Keysight didn't invent it. But what they did do was to introduce it into an entry level bench scope.
Siglent have been working on the same thign at the same time, but I believe Keysight beat them to market, and first to market wins innovation bragging rights, and everyone else "copied"/"followed".
Perhaps also Siglent think same, independently of each others. If only copy idea that oscilloscope may have SFRA is it copying. Perhaps like Nissan or Lamborghini copy Ford.
Why I think this?
IF Siglent have copied Keysight this model perhaps then they release something total junk crap.
But because they did not copy they make something what is even some amount useful and not only for tell students that in the world there is also "BodePlot" and studets roll they eyes.
Chill out, you seem to be caught up on the word "copy", it's no big deal to copy a feature, in fact it's
expected that a competitor do so.
Ford puts airbags as standard in entry level cars, Nissan copies, etc etc.
