The lack of firmware update seems to be a norm for many Chinese electronics.
Have a look at siglent…
Their last update for the SDS5000 series was fully packed with debugging things and additional features.
And how long is this one on the market ?
I do hope they will release another update in the future to prove that they can compete with the top-Brands. They need to do that if they are serious about moving upmarket in their offerings like the MSO8000.
This is the main point....
What would rigol be in the future, a deliverer for hobbyists or a global player.
Actual it seems the first, regardless of the models and their prices.
We got two new Lecroy models in october.
Each one costs 12K €, 13K €(WS9054, HDO6034A).
The rigol 8000 with 2Ghz cost nearly 14K €....
It´s bandwith is the only adventage against our new lecroys.
Everything else, EVERYTHING, is no compete.
