content: Dear admin/dave.Our thread got a bit derailed (my fault-ish) and would like to split this forum post (and everything after it) into its own thread.https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/low-cost-logic-analyzer-probe-for-rigol-mso5000-easyeda-project/msg5097933/#msg5097933Should be possible with SMF as far as I understand, but only you have the power?https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/software/smf/split-topics/People are getting upset for hijacking their precious thread and I don't want to loose the history of what was discussedThanks!!

content: Would it bebetterif you started a new topic (or topics) containing asummaryof what you have learned from the existing topic?You could include pointers from the various topics to the others, so that the all-important context isn't lost.

content: While that's extra work, it certainly is an option! But if a mod can click the 'split' button; that'd be much less workAlso, 'hijacking' a thread is an unintended thing; and once it has happened, and there's more posts about the hijacked content ... well who knows :p

content: The problem is the mod has to go through and figure out which posts are and aren't related to yours.Honestly not too sure why you posted in there as your option is not low cost, we had another thread with various high-spec LMH7324 designs (ribbon, usbc, some others).

content: Quote from: thm_w on January 26, 2024, 10:37:27 pmSure, except in this case, no. There was a very clean 'break' when the topic was hijackedAll conversation (except some mud-throwing) was all ontopic since! So doing the split can be done very cleanly. Leave the mudslinging as is, no problem.Quote from: thm_w on January 26, 2024, 10:37:27 pmNot sure this is the right place to discuss content :p But I'll bite anyway.What makes you say the option is not low cost? Lets exclude the cost of the raw PCB, as you can get 10x10 4 layers for €2,- from pcbway. So the chips are expensive? There's an OPTION for LMH7324, an OPTION for LMH7322 and an OPTION for SNV65. You don't HAVE to get all of them, and the SNV65 option certainly is cheap. So then the only 'costly' thing would be the HDMI connectors, which was just the entire point of the excersize. So cost-wise, I argue they are about equally 'cheap' and deff. low-cost compared to the original.Yes, there's a ribbon variant, a USB-C variant, and now a HDMI variant. The other variants where inspiration and credited the authors.Regardless, I'd love to have a thread where we can continue this conversation

content: Sorry, can't deal with that mess, it's a huge thread. As a general rule if a thread with more than 10 pages has not shifted to a new topic then the earth must have stopped spinning.

content: Quote from: oliv3r on January 31, 2024, 04:31:41 pmOK I just saw LMH7324 on the silk and assumed thats all it was, if there are other options then honestly it seems like a good design and not really an issue left in that thread.

content: Quote from: Simon on January 31, 2024, 07:25:34 pmYep, sorry, it's just not practical to deal with a thread that has half a dozen pages of posts after the one you want to split. There is bond to be lots of posts in that group that refet to the orignal topic.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on January 31, 2024, 11:06:04 pmBut, as stated by oliv3r yesterday, that does not seem to apply in this case. Discussion on the original probe design which had been presented in that thread had gone quiet, and after oliv3r presented his variation, all subsequent discussion circled around that. (Plus some complaints about that new discussion being off-topic, which could be moved as well to keep things simple.)So everything from reply #147 onwards (the one linked in oliv3r's top post above) could be moved into the new thread.
