content: How long would it take for Fungus to chime in and say the Rigol DS1054Z is way better than the 100MHz scopes Keysight is giving away?And the event isn't better than ever because way less countries are eligible compared to last year!

content: YAY FREEhackableSCOPES!!!!Doesn't matter if they're 2000s instead of 3000s, doesn't matter if they have slightly less memory than we would like, doesn't matter if keysight is cleaning out inventory before a refresh. Free scopes are good scopes and I'm excited regardlessEDIT: didn't see the "including our newest oscilloscope." Now I'm double hyped> And the event isn't better than ever because way less countries are eligible compared to last year!

content: Quote from: jjoonathan on January 29, 2017, 03:23:53 amWell you'd probably have to pay tax over the list price so free is relative and suddenly other options may be more interesting especially in the 100MHz arena

content: Quote from: SimonD on January 29, 2017, 11:15:12 amI don't think people are grasping what this thread is about. It's not about the contest, Keysight have just said on their content website that they are releasing aNEW100MHz scope on 1st March.Usually news of a new scope gets the nerds in a frenzyThe contest seems to have diluted the message of a new scope release. A marketing oops perhaps...

content: Well, it's a 100MHz scope, so pretty basic, an entry level model. Take the touchscreen out of a 3000 and whack it into a 2000, voila, new scope... My bet is still on something like this, but who knows?

content: Well, new scope design or not, I'm already in for a pre-entry and there's a one entry per day during March set-up.And does 'Your chance to increase the number of oscilloscopes in the prize pool' mean that if there are more entries than expected Keysight will increase the prize pool?Looks like I'm going to be busy once per day during March...

content: Quote from: continuo on January 29, 2017, 12:16:50 pmI think so too. I strongly doubt Keysight is introducing a new scope which obsoletes the relatively new 2000,3000,4000 and 6000 models even though they are horrifically outdated when it comes to memory depth.

content: OTOH, there are 10 x MSOX4104A in the pool, what's the retail price of one of these, ~$19.500, ist this correct? And the secret new model X is given away 115 times. The total approximate retail value of all prizes accounts to $318.655. Let's see:10 * $19.500 + 115 * X = $318.655 -> X = ~$1.075A Grand for one of the new 100MHz scopes, that's to cheap for an upgraded 2000 series...Sound really more like a new 1000 series or a rebranded Rigol

content: Quote from: continuo on January 29, 2017, 12:16:50 pmIt could be thet it's the 100MHz version of a range that goes higher - but as this would be in direct competition with the 2000 series, a touchscreen-enhanced 2000 would seem the most likely in that case.Hard to see it being worth Keysight doing something completely new in the up-to-100MHz market as there is so much competition. Maybe another rebadge?

content: Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on January 29, 2017, 01:03:30 pmTektronix did it with the TBS series, and that starts at US$450Granted, rehash of the ancient 2.5K chipset, but still, there is a market for that stuff, mostly in academia. Not sure whether those are essentially loss-leaders or not though to get the students inBut that's not The Danaher Way

content: More and more universities in Europe are turning to Rigol gear for their labs.The golden years where Tektronix used to have a monopoly position in academic latitudes are long gone.And I am convinced that the TBS series with poor specs isn't going to change anything about that.

content: The Tektronix TBS series have some very specific features which could make them more appropriate for school use than a general purpose oscilloscope.

Educational series?Specs like to be 2-ch only, 2GSa/s, 70 and 100 MHz. G models come with WaveGen option.If you'll google a little more, you'll find some preliminary prices too.
