Have you ever tried the new Tek UI? In my opinion its good. On the Series 4 at work i tend to use touch display. On my Siglent at home i find myself still more using the knobs and buttons than touch UI. So at least for me Tek has done something right.
Maybe so but it's still a complete dog's dinner.
Take the dialog that pops up when you double-tap the screen:
It's a complete mess of dropdowns mixed with multi-choice buttons for no good reason and there's lots of little things wrong with it:
a) "Waveform Style" and "Graticule Style" - one line of text, "Waveform Intensity" and "Graticule Intensity" - two lines. Why?
b) Why is the "Waveform Intensity" box wider than the "Graticule Intensity" box?
c) Why are the Graticule settings in a dialog called "Waveform View"? Maybe the dialog could be called "Display settings"? You did double-tap the "display" to get to it.
d) Why are some things in drop-downs and others not? Dropdowns need a tap top open the menu, then you have to look at it and find the entry, then another tap to select it.
e) What on earth is the point of a numerical box with a percentage in it? What happens when you tap it?
f) When you tap the persistence time it only highlights the text (as if it's expecting a keyboard to be attached??). You have to double-tap it to get the on-screen keyboard. How many people would have a physical keyboard, why can't it open the on-screen keyboard directly?
g) Does that pointless mouse cursor follow you around all the time or is it only there when a mouse is connected?
About that on-screen keyboard for entering a time:
(excuse the crudity of the Windows Paint job)
Here's the same display settings on a Micsig. They're not hidden behind a double-tap, you can find them under the "Display" menu:
You touch the name of the thing you want to adjust and the settings appear below. No dropdowns so selections are a single touch instead of two. Brightness settings are done via a slider.
It has a logical flow to it and the user interface elements they used are faster to use and match the types of values being entered.
