content: Dave,Do a Rigol DS2000 comparision with the Agilent that you have to see how the Rigol stacks up. I would suggest to show a Video signal since it is probably the most complex signal that one can use. It has high and low frequencies (digital sort of, horizontal and vertical sync) and analog. I would be interest how they compare. I would suspect the Agilent would win.Robert

content: Quote from: olsenn on April 09, 2013, 12:50:25 pmThey are too different.MSOX3000: only 4Mpts memory, 1000 000 waveforms/sec, but not more sensitive than real 4mV/divDS2000: 56Mpts memory, sometimes up to 50 000 waveforms/sec, probably real 0,5mV/divEach scope is good for someone else. But the Agilent will probably last longer. It has 5-year warranty

But I prefer the deeper memory, and vertical amp on the Rigol, and it has better features overall.But I prefer the working and feel of the Agilent. The Rigol feels like it has too many bells and whistles that get in the way for day to day use.

content: Only talking comparisons with a 3000X speaks volumes of Rigol's VFM I guess.
