They should sell it as an option. I think many of us will happily spend $15. Easy earned money for the manufacturers. --- Quote from: eTobey on March 16, 2024, 11:30:37 am --- --- Quote from: Hydron on March 16, 2024, 10:40:14 am ---Configurable channel colours (given they're using RGB LEDs as channel indicators, it should be easy-ish) was a feature request from some on this forum... --- End quote --- That sounds like the same issue with rigol. The hardware was designed good, but those that designed the UI for it were not so much motivated... --- End quote --- |

The Hameg HMO series has a green colour on channel 4. --- Quote from: eTobey on March 15, 2024, 07:20:29 pm --- --- Quote from: csuhi17 on March 15, 2024, 07:12:24 pm ---Also, why not green instead of light blue. This was a very poor decision from Rigol... --- End quote --- Show me one oscilloscope from the other manufacturers, that has a green color on a channel! --- End quote --- |

You can give a channel a name, but not change its color. I guess they have never reard about 'color blindness' --- End quote --- Some R&S scopes, like the MXO4, lets you choose each channel color and it can be any custom color (i.e., not from a fixed menu with a handful of choices). It not only changes the trace color, but also the LED backlight color of the vertical buttons and knobs for the channel that is selected. But there's a minor downside: The probes *do* have a color ring, and unless you remember, or physically mark the channel colors, you can't plug the probes into the right channel when the scope is off. --- End quote --- The MXO5 adds RGB LEDs right next to the BNC jacks so that they actually match, too. What’s a bit annoying on the MXO4 (which they could easily fix in software) is that the colors of the RGB LEDs aren’t calibrated to match the display. Edit: in fact, this even visible on their own photos of the MXO5. Look at channels 7 and 8: plainly different on-screen, nearly identical on the LEDs. And channel 3 is deep orange-red on-screen, and basically peach colored on the LEDs. |

They all use yellow for Ch1, and then pink/red, light blue, and green for the remaining channels, in varying order. So do most of the low-cost ones. Rigol is fairly unique in not using green. On 8-channel scopes, it’s common to have two different shades of green, one slightly yellowish and one slightly bluish. |
