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

<< < (8/26) > >>

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  :)

My Lecroy LT 574 has selectable colors for UI elements and waveform traces, and I think the bigger Wavepro 900 has, too. And both scope models are over 15 years old :)

I think later Lecroys have selectable colors, too. :)

Is that really such a rare feature?  :-//

I think it's hundreds:

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.

I'd rather have the colours match the colour ring on the probe tip.

Except they don't realise they are selling to engineers who don't give a toss about such things.

The engineers do not but the person who authorizes the purchase does.

Sure, but the engineer chooses the model they want and then begs, that's how it work.
Get knocked back?, choose another model and beg again.
The engineer usually does the choosing.
