content: Yeah, Mike's phone number is in the form, I don't think that one is public. The rest of the information is though. You can remove all the identifying parts in the URL and shorten it to:http://info.tek.com/en-a-new-era.htmlI filled it in too, but I'm not affiliated with any company, just wrote "none".

content: My guess is any extra connectors on the front with be a AWG, trigger - not 7 or 7 analog channels.

content: Re. channels, I'd guess either 32ch MSO or 6ch analogue - some applications lihe 3-phase motor drives could use this for simultaneous V/I on all phases.

content: Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on May 18, 2017, 06:07:48 pmIf it goes that route - I wonder if they will have 10 or 12bit A/D to go head-to-head with LeCroy 8ch - maybe this will be lower cost than that? For power applications - dynamic range is good to have

content: Quote from: JPortici on May 18, 2017, 07:00:41 pmBecause it's "More". like 2GHz is more. Tek have failed to keep up with the competition on similar specs, so maybe now they're trying to find niches not served by them.

content: Quote from: JPortici on May 18, 2017, 07:00:41 pmAt least on Pico X+16 MSO you run out of all digitals if use 16x1bit as 16bit ADC input to gain 16bit "virtual channel". With 32 would still have 16 left... Of course if such thing even possible on Tek. As for analog channels - indeed run out of them in no time when attach to some motor... +use digitals to listen for 24V PLC signaling. So think more the merrierBesides micros and HF signaling there is whole world full of actual machinery that does actual stuff. But if its 2GHz... hmm... Tweak 3ph motor plus wireless signaling instead of 24V at the same time maybeIn that case they should install enough memory so it could run at least 5GSa/s in ~100ms/ timebase.

content: Quote from: rx8pilot on May 18, 2017, 07:57:23 pmI wasn't being entirely serious about 32ch MSO, but it would be a relatively cheap way to claim "The Most channels". I highly doubt it's >4 channels at 2GHz though ( or if it is, the price is way into 5 figures for that configuration)Though re-reading the Tek site : "...with unparalleled digital visibility..." maybe it is more MSO channels
