content: A few weeks ago RIGOL presented the DS1202Z-E oscilloscope, the image of the back was initially wrong. In fact it is the image of the oscilloscope presented today by RIGOL, the MSO5152-E model.

content: Quote from: simone.pignatti on October 28, 2019, 04:50:37 pmThat's not even competitive with their own 'scopes - MSO5072 is the same price.OK, I guess the bandwidth is higher but everything else is less.Quote from: tv84 on October 28, 2019, 09:56:43 amYep. If you're going to remove half the buttons then at least spread the remaining ones out a bit.Maybe this is just to save a couple of $$ by re-using the PCB and outer case from another model. I'm betting if you peel off the front panel sticker there's lots of holes underneath it.

content: Quote from: Fungus on October 28, 2019, 08:00:30 pmIt's the MSO5000 mold with the extra holes blocked off during the mold process and shot with white instead of black. They can do it without making a new mold. But it's silly penny pinching at their scale. A new mold in china would only run them $10k at worst.

content: Batronix list the rigol scope family in a kind of hierarchy, starting with the 1000, ending with the 8000.The MSO5000-E is listed under the MSO5000 which make sense (Ultravision I vs Ultravision II, 50Mpts vs 100Mpts, 4GSa/s vs 8 GSa/s, and so on).But I don´t understand the price....

content: Me neither...And the promotion on the MSO5000 is still running until end of march 2020.I wonder who will want to buy a MSO5000E.It may be a strategy to boost MSO5000 sales
