So... some observations:
- The 500MHz passive probes are physically identical to LeCroy 500M PP020 probes. Same accessory baggie, same witches' hats, etc. They auto detect as 10:1 automatically.
- It came with all options permanently enabled, except BW, SENT and MANC. So included the MSO license; good thing I didn't buy it!
- This includes FG, PA, 1553B, I2S, Flex, CAN, MSO.
- The touch screen is really good - must be capacitive?
- The 500M upgrade works good, rise time (10-90) dropped from 0.95ns to 0.65ns. (Using a Leo Bodnar pulse gen.)
After installing the 500M option though there is no way to upgrade it further.
