I would assume you'd be able to get a loan unit from an R&S dealer in Japan... Unfortunately many Youtube reviews are rather shallow so I really recommend getting test units before committing to buy. I have regretted not doing that in the past; it ended up costing me several k euro because the equipment dealer didn't want to take it back while the unit clearly wasn't delivering what was promised.
:-\I don't think that they will loan a unit for a hobbyist............
AFAIK SDS6034 H10 Pro 350MHz is based on platform that goes up to 1 GHz, with 2 ADC and different memory architecture.
Worldwide SDS6000A are all 2GHz platform, common with domestic 2GHz SDS6206H8/10/12 PRO, with 4 ADC converters.
Only that platform has support for Jitter/eye.
So if you want to "reach" 2GHz, and have jitter/eye option you either have to buy any world release SDS6000A (8bit), or full 2GHz chinese version.
Software wise (except eye/jitter)everything else is the same, FFT length and all.
May be the new problem now is does the 10bit ADC is important......?
I see many post talk about ENOB....and two tone FFT..... So the RTM 10Bit really greater(useful?) than SDS6000 8bit...?
And any one can tell the SDS6000A UI speed?
I am using RIGOL DS2102A.....very slow
and it only 2ch that i look to buy a 4CH scope.....
Let me just chime in a few words about SDS6000A. It is a fast scope with large touch screen. It is also very nice to use. If you get SDS6000A you can upgrade it all the way to 2 GHz. It is 8bit but has low noise front end and noise wise will perfom on par with R&S. How important 10 bit resolution is? Well it is not so much difference, from 8 bit to 12 bit it is visible difference. It depends if you are doing stuff where you want to squeeze every little bit. In general work god 8 bit ADC and good front end does the job, and in Siglent SDS6000A both are world class.
I have SDS6000H12 Pro, and use it daily and love it.
Visual design of R&S scope might be a bit more designed for a aesthetically applesque type of appearance, but Siglent GUI is logical, modern and does the job.
Scope supports lots of stuff not being mentioned often: mapping of network drives, excellent remote control over browser (both great for documentation), 2 custom probes presets per channel, arbitratry math in 4 math channels (you type a complex mathematical expression and that is the channel). It supports eye/jitter package (RTM3K does not), comprehensive power analysis package, excellent FRA (Bode plot) analysis. It has 2 zone triggers, many advanced trigger options, many measurements, track and trend plotting, histogram analisys and histicons that are always running histograms on all measurements (I love this one, it's fantastic)...
It is a very advanced mid range scope worth every cent.
It is also a part of growing family of new touchscreen Siglent scopes that are their strategic platform. That means active maintenance and development.
I personally thing that RTM3000 (while very nice scope) is no match to SDS6000 in its versatility. New R&S MXO4 might be, I don't know, haven't try it yet.
But I'm confused as to what exactly would you do with the scope? Is 2GHz really necessary?
