Hi,
Dear @BTO,
Thank you for commenting on my doubts.
I put my questions here, because luckily you have good contact with a Rigol Engineer, who can answer the technical FW and UI questions raised by MSO5000 consumers.
Yes, I agree with you that:
“Re Problem 2 and 3 - IS NOT A PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH I CAN SEE HOW IT WOULD BE CONFUSING.”
See that I put the entire procedure here, so you and other colleagues can reproduce the test.
I suggest that the Memories (Ref1 -> Ref10) are numbered in the UI as (Ref0 -> Ref9), This will maintain the logic of all files saved in Drive (C).
I saw that you were able to place (ALL) the IMGs saved in Drive (C) on the screen at the same time, and also in the (Ref) Table.
@BTO, but in practice this is not necessary.
For example, see that you can make a sequence of Waveform Measurements of many signals in one (Radio #1). And save in the Table (Ref) and in the Drive (C). To then compare with other Radios identical to (Radio #1), to adjust, for example, IF Coils, RF Filters, etc...
See that you have in Drive (C) the IMGs of interest to adjust everything you need, and you can transfer them to the table (Ref), to use (ONE AT A TIME), and not all at the same time. You only need (1 IMG at a time) to make the comparative adjustment.
And then you do one (Press -> Default) and delete the entire Table (Ref), and do other things of your interest.
On another day, you take a different model (Radio #2) and do the same procedure. And you don't have to worry about numbering, as the MSO5000 does automatic and sequential numbering, starting from (RigolDS0 -> RigolDS1). You just need to have external control of what was saved in each position of the (RigolDS x)... Or change the name of each one, in each operation.
But imagine that you have 200 or more IMGs saved in Drive (C) of many Radios and other Equipment, I think it is better to leave the automatic numbering of the MSO5000.
And one fine day, you have a model of (Radio #2) to adjust.
It's simple, you can load 10 IMG at a time, in Memories (Ref1 -> Ref10) and you are ready to adjust (EACH ONE) of the adjoints, step by step, and the screen has to have (1 IMG at a time), and not the ones (10 IMGs at the same time).
See that if you (Press -> CLEAR) you clear the screen of all IMGs, and what I want is to sequentially select the IMGs from (Ref1 -> Ref10), (ONE AT A TIME), and do a comparative test, and adjust your copy of (Radio #x) as it is in the IMG of Ref.
But the MSO5000 UI does not allow you to load just one IMG, for example (Ref3) on the screen. Check.
Another idea, imagine that you are in a small artisanal factory, where you have (10 Adjustment Stations), with different people or operators. And each (Adjustment Station) has an MSO5000 loaded with a single Reference IMG (Refx), each operator makes an adjustment, and see that productivity will increase a lot, as well as the quality of the adjustments.
@BTO, notice on your MSO5000 that the UI does not give you the option to load (1 IMG) saved in the (Ref) Table. You load (10 IMGs), and have (10 IMGs) at the same time, but you can't load just (1 IMG). Some (BUTTON) is missing from the UI. Check out.
In the hypothetical (Adjustment Station), it is impractical to have (10 IMGs) on the screen at the same time for the Operator to choose (One), and compare with a signal of interest on a board.
To be continued.
