How about you try to contribute something intelligent for a change?[/i]
What change? Are you implying that my opinion is silly?
Yes, it is. You
could have argued your case like an adult, instead you resorted to a personal attack.
If you continue this way then you will not last very long on this forum.
Anyone following your posts can see that you very often attack Tektronix. Fact.
Yeah, right. And always supported with the reasons why I believe Tek is crap. And I'm not the only one who represents that opinion.
And if you follow my posts then you should know that I have quite a bit of experience with what test gear is on the market, more so than the average EE.
I am a perfectly happy user of Tektronix products and particularly an MSO 3014 scope that has proved to be a reliable instrument. It performs as advertised within the envelope established on the data sheet and I can trust it with critical measurements. Day after day.
If you're happy, great, and I'm sure if you just do very basic stuff or treat it like an analog scope then it's probably not that bad. That doesn't mean they aren't slow like wading through molasses or that the UI locks up if the slow processing in these scopes is busy doing stuff, or that Tek isn't years behind all other big brand manufacturers.
And no-one doubted that the MDOs don't conform to their specs, which should be a given for pretty much any big brand instrument.
I hasten to add that I do not have any affiliation whatsoever with Tektronix or its sales force. I make my purchases trough an agent, so no direct contact with them.
Well, I have had contact with them on plenty of occasions, especially with their support, and it wasn't really great. Even warranty repairs can be a struggle.
I express my opinion as an invitation to whoever is considering acquiring an oscilloscope: Have a hands on experience. This advise is my contribution.
That's fine. Personal attacks however aren't.
Maybe next time you should also consider basic decency and courtesy before posting.
