I just got my DS1054Z so I'm running through all my initial shake-down tests. Works great so far. I use a MUCH more expensive Agilent MSX-X-3014A at work. It's amusing just how close the Rigol is in operation. It's obvious that the firmware is rather "related" even in this higher-end Agilent.
I actually like the Rigol interface better because of the plethora of soft keys where the Agilent has only 6. Yeah, the Agilent operates a bit faster/smoother but for the price difference I'll take the Rigol.
It is running 04.02.SP4 which I believe still has the jitter/PLL issue. I will be upgrading to 04.03 tonight.
I was looking at the Rigol firmware release notes and noticed that it says "and optimized processing speed". Of course, as with the rest of the document, the English is rough. Maybe this doesn't mean what I think it should.
Has anybody noticed their 1054Z being more responsive in any way after this update?
Thanks,
Scott
