can't take a photo now - but I can assure you it's the same as a DP832A. Lan & 232 are software key only options - no hardware upgrade required.
They even supply the plug for the trigger port in the base unit and the software is disabled by default.
These are so ripe for a good'ole Rigol I2C sniff - (or jtag in this case
thanks!
I had originally ordered the 832A, but after looking at the specs and seeing the price of the hires option, I didn't really see why I would want an 832A over the regular 832 that was about half the price. I must have misread a previous comment and thought the 832 did not come with the digital/LAN ports, which I was very much hoping to use. I'm very happy they are included
It's pretty smart, IMO, for Rigol to keep the price of the hardware lower and provide *value* in the options.
I will buy the hires option because it's worth it. I hope Rigol keeps the value trend going, I bet it's going very well for them.
On a side note, I got a tracking number today on my DP832. If it shows up, I guess I will be working this weekend
(aka, want to play with my new toy!)
