The other thing that "Megazoom V" would bring them is branding. People know the Megazoom branding, it's one of the if not the most well known branding in the scope business for the last several decades. Wheter it's ASIC or FGPA or some some hydrib or whatever doesn't matter, they would be crazy not to brand any new technology scope as "Megazoom V Technology". |

It is addictive as hell.. That thin line that looks like it came fro best analog Tek that let's you see things you didn't see before... --- End quote --- I can see bit depth being the new must have paradigm shift in the low-ish end scope space. First it deep memory, you didn't want to buy a scope without it. Next it was fast update rate, you didn't want to buy a scope without it. Next it was 4 channels, you didn't want to buy a scope without it. Cue bit depth... |

That is sort of my point. They will call it Megazoom, whatever the implementation. It is the architecture that counts.. |

I'm cured. --- End quote --- Yes we know. Also you think Keysight scopes are unusable because of your experience with long discontinued 7000 series... You seem to hold the grudge for a long time. --- End quote --- Wrong on both accounts (and you know it)! |

Especially in a lower end product where volume matters. And they will be in it for a 10 year timeframe. |
