We live interesting times...

[nctnico]

Interesting indeed. Is Lecroy going to stop making oscilloscopes themselves and rebadge their entire line?

[2N3055]

 

[TK]

Siglent still cannot get the wfm/s to professional levels... if they announce 170,000 it is going to be more like 20,000 or less

[Sighound36]

Martin72 will be a happy bunny 

Looks like a rehashed newer Leroy HDO4/6000A with 1/2 the sample rate.

What options  are available Mr Tautech any eye jitter apps in the offing at all


It is a plane?, he can jump single 1 mile high code blocks in a single bound, looks a like a job for Tv84

can you explain that a bit?

[jemangedeslolos]

How many people are working in the R&D dept at Siglent?
I don't understang how they can get out of so many different devices in such a short time.
Impressive   
 

[Sighound36]

It's not siglent per say its the price of cooperation between Lecroy and Siglent scratch my back and we will give you our first generation 12 bit tecnology hence only 5G/s I suspect this is interleaved as the 2012 Lecroy' 12 bit equipment was only 2.5G/s this will have Siglent hardware and a first gen Lecroy adc

Now if you could marry the Rigol horsepower with the Lecroy 12 bit DC and Siglent's Lecroy O.S. now that would make an interesting project.

Tv84 happy to purchase one for a play date if you wish 

[Sighound36]

Just noticed the price points currently Lecroy are happy to deal the Hdo6000hd 12 bit 10G/s interleaved  1Ghz and Mso spectrum view  @ 45% off retail which works out a much better deal than the new Siglent

There is a 6000hd replacement due pretty soon apparently mind you the basic Keysight MSR 500Mhz starts at 18k gbp lot to think about

Even KS entry level has 200,000wfm/s so 170,000 on this type of scope is way too low

But historically it is near impossible to get the published wfm/s from Siglent. I.e. i cannot get near 10,000 on the 2000x plus, it is more like 5,000.  And if you have measurement open, it pauses like every second

Ex demo model.

[JPortici]

Oh, finally. Unfortunately i have no insights about this one what's the ADC? Love the huge screen

[edigi]

Probably can't afford anything like this for a long time but it certainly looks interesting.

What makes me wonder what is the deal between Siglent and Lecroy? Is Siglent allowed to reuse older Lecroy tech?
The SW of this must be still an enormous R&D effort, is it done by Siglent by on its own from scratch (risks of buggy SW) or there is some reuse there as well?
With higher sampling rate this could be a very serious tool.
Siglent can become a quite disruptive player in T&M area very soon with such rate of new equipment introduction (thinking of the not so long ago introduced SVNAs, RTSAs and now this DSO).

Tv84 happy to purchase one for a play date if you wish 

I'm not sure I understand better 
Because if the price is much lower, I don't understand Lecroy's strategy.
If Siglent can mix platforms from Lecroy, with almost the same GUI/OS, Lecroy will no longer sell low/mid-range oscilloscope.
The best would be for Lecroy to buy Siglent.

But I'm not a marketer, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Lecroy doesn't make low/low-mid-range oscilloscope anyway.. It's not enough of profit margin..
As long as they make nice profit just reselling it's good business.

And if they do buy it, they will still keep both "premium brand" and "general population brand".. Like Lexus and Toyota..

Exactly but perhaps with more synergies as it is precisely the case in the automotive sector and more understandable for us buyers.
Because even if this SDS6000pro is based on an old Lecroy platform, we are still talking about 4x1Ghz 5GS/s 12bit and 250M of memory.
These characteristics are starting to be expensive at Lecroy for my little wallet.

But synergies already exist, it seems to be almost the same enclosure than WaveSurfer 4000HD and surely much more ( screen, adc, etc)

But as I said I'm not a marketer.

[pascal_sweden]

I really don´t like the black "panda" look on the screen.

[2N3055]

Difference is actually very obvious. Both Toyota and Lexus use same platforms and engines.. It's design, trim, luxury, soundproofing, and general feel that is different.

Same here. Lecroy shines in software/analysis options.  For instance, protocols on best Siglent are still so few, only comparable with cheapest WS3000Z. Just one step up, and you get all kinds additional stuff.  Hardware can be same, but it's exclusion triggers, Wavescan, LabNotebook, tons of protocols and other advanced stuff that is differentiator here..

So it's more like, if they keep working together, that they will keep the lines separated. Or maybe they part their ways like Rigol did with their partner...

Time will tell..

If one day Lecroy and Siglent share the same HW plateform, maybe a furious will be able to turn Lecroy apps on Siglent scope.
I wonder if this kind of person hangs out on a forum like EEVBlog ?

Been done years back, flashing Siglent FW onto LeCroy's and vice versa.
