However, my first impressions conclusions stand.
and that's ok, it is your first impression and it should not be changed by any comments etc.
The scope had poor pulse response,
yes, the scope you tested have have pure response, it might be faulty unit, manipulated unit
or one of the units with bad response (see my first comment in this thread)
poor trigger jitter/stability,
yes, the scope you tested is having 83EB FPGA design which sucks. The explanation and possible
solution is in my fist comment in this thread, but this does nt change anything on first impression.
it's slow
yes, it is slow as hell, as i mentioned in my first reply in theis thread only 4k and 40k are useful for
daily work, the 512k/1M/2M are for one off measurments. Actually if someone worked with older TEK
DSO with lot of memory then there would be no change^^
it's slow
and something like XY-mode with 512k memory and dual window is actually an bug, there is no other name
for waiting 5 seconds to get an key response. I have no idea WHY this is sill enabled.
and the firmware locked up.
yes it does, this could be fw revision related
If it turns out that my unit was faulty for some reason, then so be be it. But I can only review and comment on the facts I saw and presented in the video for the unit I had.
you know what, i could be the person protecting something here, but i don't see a reason to protect anything.
The first impression is first impression, when someone got faulty or "monday unit" it still does not matter, the first
impression stays the same. There should be no "monday units" nor faulty if QC would be properly working.
Same for firmware bugs, sure when some not fixed yet then they not fixed, but in principle manufacturer (or at least dealer)
should have installed latest firmware to avoid some revision issues, but that was not the case for your unit.
Does it have any influence on your impression? not at all, you got what you got any saw what you saw, and that's ok.
In my opinion you don't have to add any annotations (of course some fixing RTFM are always good). This is test gear and it have to work directy, there should be no locks or bugs, no user/community or what so ever "aftersale solutions". People producing test gears have to understand that they have to be reliable, shit, imagine a car which stops reacting on anything when you try to accelerate too fast when it's cold (i remember i got such E-class MB few years ago, THAT was a dangerous crap) or imagine someone on the gas station (which can be compared to forum) tells you "hey, you could use ferrari engine, then your car would drive properly and not jump around" Your answer would be probably "F* what?" So no, even if there are user made solutions to fix x or y and a and b is RTFM and .... it still does not change anything on first impression!
