--- Quote from: tautech on August 19, 2018, 02:55:15 am ---No sales pitch Josh, just hard facts ! OK so the WIfi is not for everybody and you might never want/need it. The AWG and 16ch MSO are another matter IF you ever have the need for either. Instead of needing to purchase other standalone products you can add this functionality and again if/when required and without sacrificing little in the way of precious bench space. None of this may mean much to your use case however it does to others. --- End quote --- I was just teasing you. ;) BTW- I didn't include the MSO in that $900 price. That's even more $$$. For my needs, I'm using a Tenma 72-505 audio generator that I got from Newark for $34. It produces clean waveforms, and it's battery powered so it's floated and I don't have to worry about ground loops. If I ever need a pulse signal, I bought a signal generator app on Windows for $2.49 that also produces clean waveforms through my USB soundcard. |

Granted, the issues tend to happen in somewhat "tough" situation, but still, looking at the display, it _should_ have had plenty enough good data to have triggered. --- End quote --- Can you explain this situation with some detailed documents about real signal and test setup etc and including scope model and FW also. --- End quote --- Once I get the time to retest the issues I have seen previously, but now on the latest firmware, I'll certainly provide the info about any remaining issues. I tried to write down them as well as I could at the time, exactly for this purpose. (But don't hold breath, it is the last day of my summer vacation, and who knows what kind of pile is waiting at work tomorrow...) |

That is, not one of these nice new entry-level choices, don't even remember if either or both were available at the time. I think I need to clarify that I did not wait for that specific campaign/bundle (I didn't even know what or if anything would be coming). I just waited for something of a bargain, e.g. a pure discount could have been used to buy at least some of the options (with "saved" money), and in my case it happened to result with the mentioned bundle. During that campaign the lower bandwidth variants got a bandwidth increase to next higher bw variant instead. |

Does anybody have any opinions on the probes that come with the two units? Does anybody think there's a different model I should be considering? |
