That certainly doesn’t look very fast.

🤣🤣🤣 Sure. It updated in real time, same as the scope. But not all signals are that fast. ;)

The web view doesn't replace the main scope display, it augments it (unless you are actually working remotely where HDMI output is of less help).  So you can still see the fast updates on the scope but read the finer detail and text on the large screen.  And easily take screenshots.  With my RTB2004 it gives the best of both worlds in my opinion.

I haven't tried the VNC control or HDMI out on my MSO5000 as that is on the bench where I typically just do testing of assembled PCBs.  The RTB2004 is my primary scope on my R&D bench.

Then do a demo with a fast signal. It’s impossible to demonstrate UI responsiveness and display update rate of a web interface if all you show is a slow signal!  |O

(And what’s impossible to show in a screen capture is latency. I know from experience that even another 100-200ms of latency makes it much, much harder to use the controls of a scope. The RTB2004 and RTM3004, for example, have a fair bit of UI lag even when just using the internal display, enough that I often find them annoying to use. This is in stark contrast with every Keysight scope I’ve used, because they update the UI very quickly, no matter what else is going on.)

That's a fair point. I think I might setup my laptop over wifi near the scope so both screens can be seen at the same time. Over ethernet the latency is minimal, I'm curious to see how it will work on my old macbook.
