Hi, just my comment about this subject titled "Scope recomendations in $15-20K range" 1st comment about that kind of stuff : PLEASE be FAIR : 1. metrology is a basic part of your process 2. metrology is not a basic part of your process I'm a "eternal" "young player" as our dear Dave would say ... and so : asking for advice about a scope (a scope is a basic tool !) in the range of 15-20k range => that's weird ! I see 2 options : - "15-20k" is the budget : very narrow (weird !) - the purpose is to do some measurements ? or show off based on the scope screen's displaying ? (weird too...) bottom line : anyone that asks about advice with such a budget : 1. he's a jerk : because it has the cash but not the know-how (what to to with it) 2. he is... another kind... and I need to understand... what kind of guy you are :-DD I'm a "young player", but I manage to go thru the BW / rise time and so on.. because at the end, a scope is a time-domain tool, as simple as that. Sorry about this rough reply :-DD |

Sometimes products can be supplied with a minor fault (e.g. I've had a Keysight product (not a 'scope) arrive with a wonky fan blade hitting the metal chassis, it really was not worth the effort to return, but I'm sure Keysight would have done so if asked. I've had a couple of products from a couple of top brands that initially had different battery back-up issues, again minor. I've used the MXO 4 for about a year, and not experienced any hardware fault so far, but of course this is just a single datapoint. Firmware releases for the MXO 4 have occurred approximately every 4 months, with the major releases containing useful new functionality as will as the bug-fixes of course, so that's been a very positive experience so far. In summary, hardware/construction of it seems good, although I wish it came with a hard cover by default, since nowadays 'scopes have huge screens. It came with a nice, 1cm-thick piece of protection material in the box, which served as a temporary screen cover for a long while! By the way, when you receive it, initially it might look like the MXO 4 screen is very glossy, but it's actually a thin protective sheet. Took me about a month to notice it was removable! |

Sorry about this rough reply :-DD --- End quote --- Yeah right. ::) Please tell where you might go to seek wide advice on such a purchase ? Here with 1000's of members with all manner of equipment seems a good place to start narrowing down on possible purchase candidates, don't you think ? |
