![]() $1100 for an option is again not a failure or 's PAR for the course with Agilent and many other manufacturers.over-priced licenses have been around for a long long time. on the issues of waveform generation and pseudo-DMM functionality.again, that is NOT what a scope does.so either of those "failing" to perform like the "real thing" is not showing me anything really. I have a 5 year old scope sitting on my desk that has the same exact 's certainly not a "first".it's over-embellished (as the rest of the review is), with an implication that it is somehow making a scope "groundbreaking".I don't see how that quite fits. for example you point out that the scope in review is the first you have ever used that "has a "real" touch screen keyboard. That is like comparing an orange to a lemon and saying.the lemon is "bitter".it's obvious. anyhow, aside from that.a comparison of a scopes FFT function to a "real" spectrum analyzer.and the scope failing to perform in a similar manner, or to a similar resolution is hardly a "failure". It's not a real descriptor for 's a subjective made up 's like saying "suckey" instead of saying WHY something fails in practice. " lose emotional control"? that's uncalled for.but I hardly think the word "contrasty" describes anything accurately.I have never seen that in a dictionary. If it seems like the review is glowing and the product doesn't have many flaws, it's because it's a damn good product and I wasn't able to find many flaws. I actually ripped apart a Wiimote and started filming a reverse engineering of it before deciding it would just end up being too long and not add much to the review. I could have started and finished filming the review in a single day if I had just run through all the demo signals but instead I did my best to spend 2 weeks putting the scope through as many tests as I could create in the limited time I had. I said point blank that $1100 to buy each serial protocol decode is really expensive and that their waveform generator software costs as much as a cheap AWG. I was clearly underwhelmed with the fact that the multimeter was only 3 digits. I made sure people were aware that the waveform generator's maximum output swing was 5vp-p into a high impedance load and that this may not be enough for some people. (Not really a fair test, but I felt it was worth doing since Keysight took pot shots at Tektronix's MDO3000 in the datasheet). I compared the FFT to a real spectrum analyzer and made it clear that the dynamic range on it just could not compare to what you'd get from an MDO or benchtop spectrum analyzer.

I was happy to point out flaws and weaknesses in the scope. ![]() ![]() Did you watch the whole review or was the word "contrasty" enough to make you lose emotional control?
