Should I buy a Rigol MSO5000?
<< < (34/43) > >>

Hi,

1. Nobody knows all the bugs by numbers and if they were solved, you have to look for yourself.
In general, Bugs means not that the scope isn´t usable.
2. What means "better" ? Display was a little bit dim, this was solved by hardware modification, for example, my former MSO5000 I´ve send to rigol service and they modify it.
Newer models got this fix implemented.It´s got an effect, no question, but it´s not the brightest on the market...But trust me, you will see everything on it.  ;)
3. No, what it´s starting price concerns there is no alternative.

Sounds like a good match.


--- Quote from: Anding on September 24, 2022, 10:16:32 pm ---Have the firmware updates fixed the worst of the bugs which it was being criticised for?

--- End quote ---

Yes. They've also added new features like a hires mode to reduce noise.

--- End quote ---

Yes.

--- End quote ---

No.

It was officially released March 2017.

Dozens? Where? The known issues from the latest release notes only lists two:

Dozens from release. Two (that I mentioned) are what they officially admit knowing about but didn't fix yet. One of those is from initial release 1.0.0

Other dozens are list of "improvements" (fixed bugs)
On release it had more bugs than MSO5000. Just read release document.

But they are R&S and they and they own their mistakes and fix them eventually. And everybody think it is Ok to be understanding towards them and their bugs are Ok.

In two  years (March 2021) we'll reconvene  here and see if Rigol fixed their errors.  That is fair, that is level field, that  is not xenophobia, sinophobia or whatever crap is this smearing campaign here.

If they didn't I will apologize to you and agree you were right.

In meantime, you have nor right nor reason to categorically state  "they will never fix it", unless you are clairvoyant and can see future..

Today marks almost three years since the official announcement of the MSO5000 and it's a good time to get back together here and see if Rigol has fixed their buggs/errors?!
I am very curious to see the results of Rigol's efforts.

Have a look at their firmware release history and then compare it with the reported bugs in the rigol MSO5000 bug thread.
