content: Hello people and first thing I must say - It is very nice to see a bunch of advices from someone who knows their equipment, as you do.OK, now on to my question: Yokogawa DLM-2000 or Agilent 3000 X-series?Scope will be mainly used for measuring transients and voltage rise time on computer PSU's. It's a 4-channel job and a "time out" trigger function would be very helpful as well.Some cons and pros would be very welcome too, if you have some - from first hand of course ...Thank you in advance,cheersD.

content: Well, in my opinion, as of today, the 3000X is the best of its class range. Dave's review pretty much sums it up. I know Dave got his unit for free, but I don't believe he will put it in his lab and use it daily if it is not good.Their frequent (well, quite frequent) firmware updates makes me like it even more.Until other companies come up with something greater for this class, the 3000X is the choice.(I know this is not much of a comparison, but just voicing out my satisfied with the product I chose)

content: Well, it would the Agilent.The yokogawa is a newbie and i doubt anyone has ever got hold of one, there's a clue that says how much he uses it everyday for comparison and measurementas well as if any scope was to be thrown on a sandbag it was his 3000X!Thought about the Rigol 4000-series?

content: The yokogawa machines have a couple of very unique capabilities that i have not seen in many other scope. things like trend plots , having multiple 'viewports' open ( one in xy mode the other in normal mode and an fft window all on one screen.Yokogawa works togethe r with agilent for a bunch of equiment. the scopes are their (yokogawa) designs although they borrow some asics for that a/d and memory .these scopes run on a dedicates operating system (Vxworks).They are popular in certain application areas such as high voltage /high power labs (think people that make dc/ac converters , UPS systems , off line switchers etc .. because of some unique things that yokogawa has.

content: I'm very pleased to see so many answers - appreciate itBasically, I have no favorites in this class, but as some of you have noticed, there are some nice features that separate one from another.Way of displaying measured/recorded data is definitely one of that pro's ... but I've popped this question anyway, if some major flaws were hidden which I didn't notice on my own.As for power measuring options, I was planning to get Yokogawa power meter/analyzer for that purpose ... they really got some lovely features incorporated in some of their units.For example, when I saw this video, I was hypnotized ...But it's price woke me up instantly ... maybe I'll get one ... one day. Bunch of other stuff needs those papers in my wallet atm

content: Quote from: T4P on November 05, 2012, 09:45:48 amit got nothing to do with 80 or not. for professional, they want a quick output, for report and documentation. most organisation (in my place at least) still implement hardcopy reporting. want more professional? buy a water based glue and a scissor or paper cutter.
