On further questioning, they actively don't want to learn what's in a scope, nor its pitfalls and traps, nor how to get the best from it. --- End quote --- Micsigs have a mode where they continuously adjust the horizontal/vertical scale to track the input signal - no need to press a button! :) --- End quote --- It is hard to think of a more annoying feature! --- End quote --- Depends on the implementation. Watch this video at the 12:40 mark before deciding: He leaves it on for most of the video. Just watch... --- End quote --- Having watched the relevant parts, I'm glad to see that it can be turned off, as that is where it would remain if I was using it. When the input frequency changes, I like to see more or less cycles appear on the display, not rely upon the frequency readout. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't warm to that iteration of the MicSig, the "joysticks" strike me as silly---either have a touchscreen only or provide the most important functions as rotary controls. |

PS: The old Micsigs have this feature too... |

The same is true for analog scopes. |

--- Quote from: rf-loop on December 16, 2022, 11:22:02 am --- All ( tens of) HP digital oscilloscopes what I have owned and used as I remember all have raster CRT including also 1GHz 54111D. But Tektronix "CRT" digital scopes what I have owned and used they all have used vector CRT (as normal analog scopes) for it and it was very nice. Just for example 2440 and example 7854 (but 7854 was bit different case with 10-bit digitizer and waveform analyzing processor (with separate keyboard)) --- End quote --- With that vast experience what do you recommend for 1. The hobbyist with little or no scope experience ? 2. The young professional, say the EE student with limited resources ? |
