| Tektronix New 3/4-Series Scope (June 4th!) |

| ResistorRob:
I just want a 100 MHz, 4 Channel, 8+ Logic, Touchscreen (not dim, *cough* Rigol), Standard Decoding Included in a sexy box (something like the Rhode & Schwartz RTB series or the Tek 5 series) for drumroll.... $1,700! without having to pay to unlock the MSO portion or have to buy any extra probes or hardware. Basically I want an all inclusive Siglent 1104x-e with a nice touchscreen and not having to buy everything as an option upgrade. Something like that would be a smash hit with small business, education market, serious hobbyists, and engineers without steep requirements. Just sucks that nobody can take a $700 scope and add a quality touchscreen for $1,000 more!!! I know this will never happen because it will cut into manufacturers high-profit scopes with big price tags. One thing I have wanted in a scope is a selectable color palette. It appears Tek was listening when they got feedback for the 4 series. Hopefully this catches on with other scopes... more specifically in a scope I can afford :) |

And both scope models are over 15 years old :) I think later Lecroys have selectable colors, too. :) Is that really such a rare feature? :-// |

If that number is accurate, this will be fun to watch. --- End quote --- I think it's hundreds: --- End quote --- Doesn't matter how many, it's how you ask the question and what you do with the results that matters. Just because a majority want some feature doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea to implement. |

Get knocked back?, choose another model and beg again. The engineer usually does the choosing. |
