It looks to me like the real news is Rigol is announcing its series of ASICs called "Ultravision II" Family. Seems to consist of differential probe, frontend, ADC and clock / processing ASIC. The presentation shows they really don't need a lot of expensive periphery, except the RAM and some nondescript dual core application processor. So a lot more of the customer money gets into their pocket, less of the money gets into the pockets of FPGA, ADC, frontend, clock IC makers. I would say it is big news for Rigol and we will see a whole family of new devices based on this, being released in the expensive to cheap order. I also would say this marks a milestone in the growth of Rigol and shows they really think big and have deep pockets, developing all these ASICs at once. Also note they develop ASICs for what is scope specific (=expensive) and leave out the mass market stuff (RAM, AP).
