Wavesurfer 3054 perhaps?

According to Jportici this one is also dog slow. And like every Lecroy: no peak detect and that will bite you in the ass sooner or later.
Personally I'm waiting for Keysight and/or Tektronix to release new oscilloscopes based on faster platforms. Currently there is nothing out there which offers a significant upgrade over what I have now.
Couple of months ago i was demoing a wavesurfer and a keysight 3000 and 4000 (because the rep had that one available).
The lecroy was much more advanced that the keysights.. histograms, the math options, the persistence options, the ability to add decoders after the acquisition
many of the things you could do with the lecroy you could do them with the keysight 6000 series
however,
-touch screen was a resistive type piece of shit, felt very cheap and was completely inaccurate even after calibration, also had a very laggy response. meaning that you must use the scope with a mouse, there are things you cannot do easily with buttons
-once you enable longer memory traces the UI slows down a lot. more and more lag between pressing a button and getting the feedback, this for me was already enough to give it back.
-since the scope is clearly underpowered, wavescan was also a joke. wfm/s dropped down to the tens (acquire, scan all the waveform for the pathetic list of events available then rearm the trigger) and you can do the same things in other scopes, because it's a castrated version with few options
-the decode options were the usual ones, what we really needed was available on the HDO4000+ scopes (3 times the base price)
-the awg was a complete joke, you can get a better one for a tenth of the option price
the keysight on the other hand..
- 4000 series has a bigger screen BUT it's only bigger, resolution is the same because the waveform area is drawn by the ASIC. 4000 series also has 2 AWGs IIRC
- Touch screen on these one was.. WOW. a proper capacitive screen. and THIS is a scope with an interface designed for touch.
- The AWG is perfecty usable on this scope, it's more or less equivalent in frequency and resolution to what you could get for the same price. Plus, it's completely integrated in the scope and with a couple of steps i can save an acquisition and replay it, also the FRA. I call this a good compromize
- The amount of decoding options. which of course has also what we needed.
and for the bad stuff:
- Keysight frontend is very noisy
- Short memory
- can't decode data after the acquisition (however i can with infinuum software, but that's another whole lot of money)
- math is somewhat limited but not as much as other scopes in this class
- no histograms
- persistence is meh, i prefer the hot-cold type
i didn't even consider Tek or R&S for a second, because i would get a newer TDS2000 -in terms of options, math, etc- for the same price as the keysight.. pass. I already have a TPS2000 in the lab, don't need a new one without the isolated inputs
In the end i found the keysight to be a good compromize between all aspects (UI,AWG,Options versus memory,math) and during the evaluation period that scope was atually used to do real work wether the lecory almost just stayed there and look pretty.
Consider also that to me 100 MHz bandwidth is enough, i can live with slower samplerate (hence the 1MS memory can be enough) but i want the advanced options and math that still comes with higher bandwidth scopes only.
Basically what we needed was a more advanced all-rounder. The keysight was the perfect fit. if we need something special, we can always ask for a loaner for a couple of weeks/month
i was really disappointed because i like lecroy a whole lot, at home i have an older model (which i'm looking forward to sell and get a waverunner 2 or something newer if i can afford one)
I wish lecroy would make a GOOD scope for us, but apparently they don't care for this segment, which is understandable. they are replacing everything with the -much more expensive- 12bit HDO line, leaving out only the scopes they don't care about
