I am in the market for a 2GHz scope at the moment and I was hoping your MXO 5 would fit the bill, but I cannot hope that one day you will implement the features that I need. I have to make the decision on the features you have delivered. And sure I could probably buy your scope and get the features i need from other equipment, but why would I do that when I can get everything I require in single packages elsewhere? I dont need dedicated equipment for features I may only need occasionally.
Completely fair. Are there specific features that you're looking for that we don't have on the MXO5?
I would also like to add that what you said does not necessarily contradict my original point, i.e. you are now trying to rush to market to compete with cheaper brands’ new scopes to recoup your R&D costs of your new hardware while in my eyes at least not providing a more complete software package. I really like your new hardware, and I really was hoping that this would be my new scope.
I can absolutely, positively, 100% assure you that we aren't "rushing" anything to market to compete with "cheaper brands' new scopes"
(and by "cheaper" I assume by this you mean Siglent, Rigol, Owon, etc.).
As a hobbyist who's bought both analog and digital scopes for his own personal use with his own money (I can post pictures
), I'm honestly very impressed by how far some of these "cheaper brands' new scopes" have come in the last decade or so. But that's not the market that we are addressing the the MXO4 and MXO5.
Yes, it'd be great of someone who was about to buy a new Rigol DHO80x said: "You know, I might just spend the extra money and get a R&S MXO", but I get the feeling that doesn't happen very often. (Although if you are such a person, please PM me!)
But I do appreciate the feedback and I'm very sincere when I say that we are always interested in hearing which features / capabilities are most needed by our (potential) customers, so please do let us know!
