content: 800 x 600 res in a 12.1" display? At that price point?Why not just do the electronics and pair it with a Samsung Galaxy 12.1?http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/SM-P9000ZKFXAREven the old mso7xxx has 1024 x 768. With high-res vertical (12 bits), seems they are display-limited.

content: A nice scope, but definitely not for hobbyists.http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5991-4087EN.pdfQuoteSo finally they managed to make a true 2mV/div sensitivity? That's good.But this scope is more expensive than a car, LOL.http://www.ford.com/cars/focus/trim/titanium5door/

content: Quote from: DJ on April 29, 2014, 10:16:16 pmSays it uses the same Megazoom IV so not surprising.But yeah, sub-par at this price point.Looks like a new Infiniium S-Series too that has 10 bit ADC.

content: Quote from: electronics man on April 30, 2014, 02:14:07 pmHope so, the S-series looks quite nice (as it should). At least it is back to XGA. Intel i5 based + SSD.Loved my old infiniium with an external display.

content: This MSOX6000 scope is IMHO very similar to MSOX4000 series reviewed back in 2012.

content: Quote from: Carrington on April 30, 2014, 02:06:42 pmReally, who can even afford these kinds of prices anymore?It would be nice to have such an instrument in the lab.But how many hours of engineering service do I have to sell, to make enough profit, so that this scope would be paid for?May be some day in the future, several companies will share one scope.

content: Quote from: Carrington on April 30, 2014, 02:06:42 pmNo matter whether you pay $22k or $73k, you still get the same hardware, just different software options installed.They've tried voice control over ten years ago on the 54845A, interesting to see that again.

content: We are getting the 6GHz X series (4+16ch) in 2 months. Was really impresses by it when we had it for a trail period.We got it with a Infinnimode 6GHz probe and a bunch of software for €42000. Seem like a real bargain.
