Not mentioned in the manual, but uou can plug in a USB keyboard for entering label names, annotations
Apparently it's Windows CE based. What about a mouse?
Tried but doesn't do anything....
During the Q&A section of Keysights live draw today, someone asked about a mouse and Daniel confirmed it should work.
My understanding is that a mouse should work. The "zone trigger" question was the "separate code" discussion.
Going back a page or two to the Tek video (because Tek
never plays dirty
), our ASIC is designed to use the on-screen data for measurements, and it wouldn't be trivial to make measurements happen on acquisition data. The 6000X has a "precision mode" which does give more resolution at a cost update rate. But realistically, any scope with any memory depth will have a loss of measurement precision when zooming out far enough. For ours, it's screen-dependent, but for some others it's full-memory dependent. If you're trying to make precise measurements, no matter what scope you're using the signals will have to be scaled appropriately.
For the comparison stuff, that's more of a legacy item that we have to do for non-technical purchasers. We don't really expect engineers to make purchase decisions based off of them, but if you were trying to build a case to your purchasing dept it could come in handy.
@Mike, I have no idea why your scope didn't have the detents, I'd be happy to swap it out for you.
