Forget about aging - just about what is happening now.
I am. All evidence so far shows shows Rigol have fixed the problem. Unless more evidence or productions variation comes to light in the future, then that's the end of it.
I also fully agree. I purchased a 1054z also (has not arrived yet), even before the fix was known but the when problem was already discovered. When comparing this scope with other scopes
in the same price range, in my opinion it still came out way ahead even with the jitter. And now that Rigol has provided a workaround, I do not understand what people still are complaining about.
Other scopes in this price range sometimes suffer from a very buggy software, lack of features, and those take years to be fixed, if ever at all, and yet people still recommend these based on bang for buck. But when a scope has good software and hardware to start with, but only has internally a hardware workaround, seems suddenly not a good product anymore?
Yes, Rigol made a mistake (as we all do in our jobs), and next provided a workaround instead of a fix to prevent a recall (which we all would try to do also). For me, I am glad that they were able to solve it this way, so that they can keep their fantastic prices. The cost of a worldwide recall would probably raise the price of this scope and future products, and people would still complain about having to miss there scope for many weeks until it is fixed...
