Hi,
Yesterday my MSO5074 has arrived. Factory installed firmware 00.01.01.04.04. Hardware 01.00.000.
I've read the instructions and now is full option
It took about 5 minutes, I appreciate your work here
Indeed, it's the best option to buy, and not only for a hobby work.
I was very close to order a Siglent because of somehow better included features (bode plot was one of them) and a better analog input stage for low signal but I really don't need 1mV/div, a true 4mV/div is fine.
I hope that bode plot will be included in the end, the sooner the better
8GSamples, 200M deep memory, 9 inch display, included dual channel signal generator, etc. No competition for the price, of course with 'patch' applied.
Also, the mechanical power switch is way better than the "soft" one. Not only for environment friendly, but also for a long term power supply reliability.
The airflow noise it's there but it's not a big problem. The noise from the sleeve or ball bearing is more important.
Fan noise is like an old style PC power supply. For the moment is ok. In the future I will see if it worth to replace it.
Best regards !
