If love to see videos of Nilu, David and Carlos making use of their shiny new toys, even if it's too prove what most of us suspect... two of the three 'scopes won't even break a sweat.
Congratulations Carlos!
What an amazing success of this thread on eevblg.
And what an amazing move my Keysight and Daniel.
It seems like the spirit of HP is back!
We learned a lot by running this contest, and we really appreciate all of your feedback and support. If you hadn't rallied around Carlos (rx8pilot), we wouldn't have given him a scope.![]()

They said they'd take care of you, but a loaded 6000x is above and beyond
But I wanted to write here, to tell you that your video was really nice!
I really have a lot of respect for engineers that take up all the disciplines in their business, including public relations and project management.
What really striked me most in your video, is your passion and your honesty!
You can really see that you like the stuff you are working on, and you seem so honest person!
In Swedish there is an expression "glimten i ögon". This expression is really suitable to your video
I am happy that you got the scope! Well deserved!
Hope it is an enabler for your business, and that it will allow you to take up many new cool FPGA projects!
Are you looking into the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ architecture?
What about High-Level Synthesis? Are you a strong believer of "All-in-C" based design? I am!
Good luck with your new scope! I am sure you will have a lot of fun in learning and experimenting!
Carlos - you gotta post a pic of the shirt Jason made you
They said they'd take care of you, but a loaded 6000x is above and beyond
I would say so!!! Daniel had mentioned that they would 'take care of me' but I honestly did not think it would be anywhere NEAR the MSO6000X Loaded.
I'd love to see videos of Nilu, David and Carlos making use of their shiny new toys, even if it's to prove what most of us suspect... two of the three 'scopes won't even break a sweat.
Did David get a scope? If so I missed it.

.....but this forum is not the right place to flesh that out because it will escalate mercilessly.
Congrats to everyone who walked away from Scope Month with either a scope or some new knowledge!
I am looking for a FedEx truck with a Keysight box!
We are giving David K a scope as well. 5000 organic votes is still a crazy high number, and I had conversations with him throughout the course of the contest about what he was doing to get votes.
All of the top three worked really, really hard to get their votes. I definitely don't support the buying of votes, but my understanding after talking with David is that a friend of his did that without him knowing. I believe that 100%, but this forum is not the right place to flesh that out because it will escalate mercilessly.

The 54006A can be found for a relatively reasonable price on eBay. It's a 6GHz Lo-Z probe good for browsing. Make sure if you purchase that it comes with the original BNC-SMA adapter, inline capacitor, both walking stick probes and a set of replacement resistors for both probes.
The inline capacitor allows you to probe high speed serial offset DC signals without biasing/loading them too much. Frequently such signals are coded in such a way to maintain an equal number of 1s and 0 over time, and you can reasonably use the inline cap in these cases.

People that have received these fantastic products may want to consider incorporating them in their insurance policies as some companies may require additional notification and amendments to existing polices to ensure proper protection.
Hell for a 5k scope I would be half tempted to bonk somebody on the head and then do a runner with it, for a 10k scope I would probably bonk them twice just to be sure.![]()
