content: I feel like a kid in a sweet shop I am so excited.I needn't go into too much detail as Dave has covered this family in an excellent review and a teardown. I dare say it is Dave's fault now that my wallet is somewhat dentedSo, pictures. Sorry some of them are a bit blurred, but I couldn't be bothered with setting up my tripod.Now, I remember someone in another thread wondering if the LAN module was little more than a Mag-jack. Well perhaps the following photo of the label on the back of the main unit will confirm those suspicions:So, I got the parcel delivered to my work. At work there is a man who wonders around all of the buildings on the site and PAT-tests ANYTHING that he sees. I don't know how he does it, but he has a knack of sniffing out any equipment that is not PAT-tested within a 500metre radius.In my excitement I unpacked my 'scope to have a look at it at work. I left it on the desk while I nipped off to the gentleman's room. Within two minutes, Mr. PAT-man had been and gone. I wouldn't have noticed if it were not for the 13 Amp fuse lying on my desk. He'd replaced the fuse in the plug for a 3 Amp one as part of his PAT procedure.

content: But then, it is well known that one can't protect semiconductors with a fuse, a fuse blows in time scale of tens of milliseconds at best (at double nominal current, it might take minutes to blow), whereas semiconductors are destroyed in microsecond timescale, so I'll accept that the purpose of the fuse is to prevent fire, nothing else.Regards,Janne

content: Quote from: Richard W. on July 24, 2011, 02:13:27 pmSimilar with the 13 A or 3 A fuse. They are supposed to protect the wire, not the user.As far as I know Zimbabwe uses British plugs. I don't know if Zimbabwe uses the British ring circuit system, too. The ring system is the reason why there should be an additional fuse in the socket or plug, because the fuses in the ring system can't adequately protect the lead between the socket and the instrument.

I agree, it's better to have a fuse in the plug and it's safer too as it can be a lower rating i.e. 3A.

content: Educate me please. I presume the IEC plug referred to here is what we Brits casually refer to as a "kettle plug"? And electric kettles routinely have 3 kW elements for a total of 3000/240 = 12.5 A. So therefore the typical IEC plug is not really a kettle plug and the term is a misnomer?

content: Quote from: IanB on July 24, 2011, 09:16:27 pmThe IEC lead commonly used for computer equipment and indeed this oscilloscope is the C13 designation and although it's incorrectly referred to as a "kettle" lead, it won't actually fit into a kettle because a kettle has a C16 inlet designed to accept C15 leads which are rated at a higher temperature than C13 leads / C14 inlets. A C15 lead (proper kettle lead) will however fit into a C14 (computer) inlet without any issues.

IIRC it is a C15 lead.

content: Quote from: Kibi on July 24, 2011, 10:47:13 pmThanks for that link, it is interesting."My country" is in fact the UK, but evidently times have changed. Having done a quick search for corded and cordless kettles, I find all the kettles with cords have a 2.4 kW element (= 10 A). The kettles with the 3 kW elements have a cordless design with a separate base, thereby avoiding the need for a plug in connector.I am sure that in times gone by there were kettles with 3 kW elements that also had plug in cords, but perhaps that predated the IEC standardization of connectors? I dare say if I looked harder, there were British Standard connectors specified for 13 A duty, given that 13 A is the maximum current for a British 240 V socket. (It's funny actually, those cordless bases have really wimpy looking electrical contacts compared to the solid contact you would get in a plug. I wonder how exactly the maximum current ratings for various connectors are arrived at.)I do often wish I could go back to the 70's and find all the good things that have vanished these days...

content: Quote from: DRT on August 02, 2012, 07:16:14 pmIs it a problem? As someone pointed out earlier: in the rest of Europe the lead could be fused up to 16 A on the input side, depending on the branch circuit is connected to. That goes for the 2.5 A rated IEC C7 plug too! As for the rest of the world, aren't US branch circuits usually 15 A? What about Australia?So with a 13 A fuse in the plug the lead would still be fusedlowerthan most other places in the world. Not good enough?The lead is protected from overload by the fuse in the appliance, which is guaanteed to be below the rating of the lead. I think the idea the safety agencies have is that if the lead itself has a short circuit, say because you drive a nail through it, the short circuit current will be high enough to trip the upstream breaker/fuse even though its rating is higher than that of the lead. Therefore they deem the practive safe and allow it. Is the UK different?

That will be sufficiently protected by the fuse in the device, via the chassis plug.Quote from: megajockeYes. Because we use 32A ring final circuits in many installations, the plugs are fused to afford protection to the flex.

content: What i have found at my DSO-X2002A:ProsUpgradability.The scope is easy to operate thanks to the pushable knobs. Much better than GW Instek or Tektronix. Why don't they use pushbuttons?It is better to buy a scope that is being manufactured for two years or so. There always might be problems with the first units built.Installing the new firmware was easy. Evereyone can download it at Agilent webpage.Buy this scope if you will often use the XY mode, OK, only a few people actually need it. But it has XY cursors and even Z-blanking.It has two USB ports for flash disc.The fan is large and quiet, but I cannot compare it to the Rigol DS1000.The free wavegen (function generator) is great. It has even AM FM and FSK.The machine is quite large and heavy, someone might want a Hameg HM2024 Instead.It never tends to fall down when you push a button.I obtained free papers with certificates for DVM and WAVEGEN. It was also easy to download the licences from Agilent web. The DVM is nice.The waveform update rate is as fast as Agilent specified in datasheet. It can be easily measured by a cheap multimeter with counter. The waveform update rate doesn't go low when you use two channels or even FFT.I couldn't find a firmware bug. Is there any?I like the separatecursorknob.Minor cons:It has no beeper.The probes are fixed at 1:10.There is no real 230V power switch, it consumes about 5W when "switched off". Well, this was no surprise to me, i saw Dave's video.While the scope is quite heavy, the plastic handle is rather small and maybe not so hard-wearing??The scope is always in vectors mode, no way to switch to dots.There is no memory setting or info in the menu. But I measured that inSinglemode the scope uses 100kpoint per channel. When inRun/Stopmode, it uses 50kpoints per channel. It doesn't matter if you use one or all two channels. It is somehow mentioned in the manual.Not possible to use both cursors and auto measurements.No alt trigger mode. But only a few middle class scopes have it.Only four automatic measurements at one time + DVM.It is not possible to do serial decoding when digital channels are on.Only a few trigger modes. But no problem with that.Not possible to create folders on USB in scope.

The firmware is well-done.

It may very well that they use the date of shipment to their distributor for warranty, unless you send them a proof of purchase. Try talking to Agilent support and see what they have to say. Maybe they can adjust the date if you email them a scan of the Farnell/Rothsware invoice.

I am on the other hand NOT very satisfied with agilent, as the first scope had to be replaced (due to a bad display backlight inverter). The replacement scope has a bad pixel on it (which they do not cover under warranty), then days after my purchase they announced the free dvm ans wavegen option, and now this "mysterious" 5 years warranty...

You bought the scope for a price which you considered reasonable. Did the deal get worse by an even better offer coming along?The way to get a good deal is to postpone your acquisition for as long as possible. You might get an even better deal after the successor has been announced. The downside is of course that you're without said scope while you're waiting.

content: On the topic of stuck pixels, I have a two-monitor setup. They're both Acer monitors, one of which I bought used for only $10 (the bigger one). It's had a stuck red pixel since I bought it, and when I first got it I tried for like 15 minutes to massage it out and it wouldn't work.Then I read the posts earlier and thought, what the heck, I'll try again, and after two or three minutes bang! It fixed! I'm so happy I had to post about it!

content: Is thereanypower up times or Operating hours counter in DSOX2000? Isn't there a secret service menu or something? I could not find it. Well, many cheap scopes have this.

content: Im sorry to go a bit of topic, but I just got my MSOX3034. It apparently was a demo unit, and I got it for a nice price! =D I was puzzled to see that all the options were enabled when I got it. Do the trials always display their expiration date next to them?I have seen it mentioned on here that demo units can have all the options enabled because their not supposed to be in your hands for extended periods of time. If this is the case I am one happy little camper!If I am correct, then, what are the "*" next to the options?Edit: Image issues

content: Well, the "*" probably means a demo mode... But I wonder why there is no expire date shown.

content: I found a cool PC software that allows you to convert a SVG picture to WAV file. Then you can set your scope to XY mode, connect it to your PC audio output and you should see a picture on your scope.http://dalpix.com/rabiscoscopio/Download here:rabiscoscopio.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/release/rabiscoscopio.zipor here:http://ulozto.net/x123Aou2/rabiscoscopio-zipQuote

Agilent recommends to replace two inductors and to remove three resistors.But is this crucial? I think that I am not going to send my scope to a warranty repair. I hope this little fault cannot kill my scope.
