Update on the firmware missing issue - I just got a reply this morning too. New version is coming out - looks like there was a small tweak to the self-alignment that was made, mainly for production. There were also a few bug fixes slipped in: Version Function V02.121 Solved: Locked pattern generator menu when 'Audio - IS' or 'Audio - TDM' selected. The Audio items were removed in the pattern generator menu. V02.121 Solved: Front panel firmware update to version did not work on rare devices. V02.121 Solved: Wrong spectrum section copied to reference waveform when trigger reference pointwas not set to center. V02.121 Solved: Connection via USB-TMC: Read function 'viReadSTB' does not answer. It should be on the web shortly, but in the meantime, here is a direct link you can use: http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/www/FileTran.nsf/alias/RTB_2_121?OpenDocument -Rich |

Not a scope related question but still very much R&S related... Perhaps there's a chance this is easy for you to unearth? I have a SMIQ06L inbound. Not SMIQ06B, not even the SMIQ06ATE which isn't documented either but at least it is mentioned somewhere (pretty much a 06B but without screen if I understand correctly...). The 06L doesn't have a screen either, or so it would seem, but other than that? Your guess is as good as mine. Or rather: I hope your guess is a bit *better* than mine. Pretty please? |

Pretty please? --- End quote --- Wow - these seem to be a pretty rare item - definitely hard to find info, but the good news is it seems to be very closely related to the SMIQ06B. Here's what I found: The SMIQ06L is a special variation of SMIQ. There are no options installed beside the B50 and B19 (rear connectors). The SMIQ can only be operated by remote, because there is no display. You have also no BNC connectors beside Trigger, Blank, I,Q, Powerramp and Ref. The specifications are the same as for SMIQ06B and the mentioned BNC connectors. Hope this helps! Rich |

--- Quote from: TimNJ on June 13, 2018, 03:55:08 pm ---The "problem" I see with R&S scopes (from the perspective of a company purchasing equipment) is that R&S scopes are a poor value on paper. For instance, when I was hired, the company got me a Siglent SDS-2104X. Most recently, we bought a Rigol DS-1104Z for a new engineer. We didn't even think to consider an R&S product (or Tektronix or Keysight for that matter). --- End quote --- I absolutely agree. Company purchases happen very short sighted, and they typically look at two values, when purchasing a scope. MHz printed on the front and Price tag. In every single company I worked for the last decade had a Tek. TDS2000 scope in the office. They are terrible and every engineer hates working with them. But Tek said it is 200 MHz 4 channel and about 2000 EUR, so they got the sale. It is really sad. Also, I have the problem with the pricing of the equipment, and options. It is OK to leave out stuff from the base model, and charge money for it. But it is NOT OK to charge 599 EUR for serial decoding, when you buy an MSO. That should be standard. Flexray, CAN, JESD and other interfaces, for sure, charge money on them. But UART? Really? Also, if there is a need to buy an option, it should be very simple to do this. Click buy on a website of an authorized seller, and receive stuff in your mailbox, and you can measure. A mid level manager can sign a PO up to (typical) 500 EUR. If you have to ask a quote for an option, and you say the option is 501 EUR, then it goes to purchasing department, they spend a few days answering emails, it is to expensive to get the signature of middle manager, so it goes to Vice President of bean counting, who sits a few days on it, requests a cost/benefit analysis from the middle manager. Meanwhile you just wanted to measure a signal on the board. Now, because the deadline was last week. |
