Can one imagine what we would end up with if all the wants, don't likes, stuff this and that in, make it do this and that, and so on, would create? Designed by Committee seems to fit, but Complete Cluster F**K seems better
The old HP and Tektronix didn't yield to all this type of BS, they had a group of knowledgable engineers/scientist, were actual in-house users, that decided how the instrument would be configured and built.
If a potential user didn't like what HP and Tek offered, wanted this and that, tuff then user could go somewhere else, or fly a kite!! We the users learned to use and operate the HP and Tek equipment like it was intended for, and generally for the better!!
Why, simply because HP and Tek engineers were more knowledgeable about their own instruments than any users, and we the end users learned and benefited from these Masters. Folks that didn't learn from this user experience unfortunately ended up being managers/excutives, and later this trickled up into HP and Tek pyramid which lead to their own demise
Hopefully Siglent will have limited BW and only listen to the very few knowledgable folks, which we know who they are!!
Best,
