Seriously, I keep seeing these comments about how awful the Rigols are, how the UI is so slow it's unusable. I own a DS2072, DS1054Z, and an MSO5074; they all get the job done and I'm happy I bought them. I don't sit there waiting for the scope to respond to key strokes.
Me either. I just don't get it.
The vertical control could respond a bit better, sure, but it
does move the trace and I don't ever recall it preventing me from taking a measurement. Not once.
The menus and stuff? They're not sluggish or slow at all.
I'm much more annoyed by things like having to push the multifunction knob to make a selection. It's an awful way to do things, and the Siglent doesn't fix that.
The Siglents also make it very painful to do
the most basic things like enable on-screen measurements. The Rigol has a dedicated column of buttons down the left side for this. The Siglent makes you go into a popup menu and do endless twiddling of the twisty knob to move around a grid of measurements enabling/disabling them.
To show the same process on a Siglent I'd need to make a whole instructional video. Cheese grater indeed.
Edit: You can see the process of enabling measurements on a Siglent in this video at the 4:23 mark:
"Ok, let's get back out of
that..." fumble, fumble.
How about we never go into
that in the first place?
