5:50 I totally missed that bias is actually different to position offset. You can actually DC bias the input to any level required which is pretty cool.

[@mlenstra]

Does it then actually output that bias voltage on the BNC? Or is it just in one of the intermediate steps - in which case I’m not sure what use it would be compared to software vertical positioning? Actual bias output would be fun to play around with to look at the effects of DC bias on capacitors and stuff like that!

[@JAKOB1977]

looks kind a low 22:38 .. what number of greyscale level does it have?? (for that analog feel) This footage here are with a 256 greyscale levels, or maybe more - haven't count them :P (100k wfms/s) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6qVf6mrj7qMjs0

[@NavinF]

What does bias mean in context and how is it different from position offset? Don't most scopes buffer and then bias the input when you turn the vertical knob?

[@AmericanLocomotive1]

It still blows my mind that Keysight are still the only ones who have figured out how to fully decouple the UI from the underlying data acquisition and math computations to keep responsiveness up. It just seems so janky that everything stops updating, and the whole UI slows down to what seems to be ~8 FPS when you move a waveform around. Especially considering a 10 year old Agilent/Keysight 3000 series keeps updating, and the UI remains silky smooth when moving things around. We live in an era where even cheap bargain phones have 8 core processors. There's no excuse for slow janky UIs, especially when Keysight figured this out over a decade ago.

Agreed, it's likely due to poorly funded software development efforts. It's a huge opportunity, improvements for instrument UI.

[@henninghoefer]

I think it's just down to price: Keysight developed their own ASIC, which is probably hugely complex to integrate and write software around. How many people are _not_ going to buy this scope because the waveform doesn't update while moving the display? Probably not many, so it's advantageous for them to save the money and make it a little cheaper, possibly even reaching a larger audience because of it. But I fully agree, doing this in software is just not a nice experience. The software situation seems to be abysmal (as always) anyway, just see how the scaling is broken (around 18:30)...

[@theairaccumulator7144]

Decoupling the UI from the underlying processing is one of the fundamental principles of web development. It's super easy if done before everything gets tangled up.

We got a new HDO4000 late Dec-22. We work with high-voltage power supplies and use a x100 probe to check the ripple voltages around 700-800V. Using our scope, we found that over 100VDC input (while AC coupled) the scope generates some proportional DC offset on the display. At 800V, the offset is so high that is impossible to check the ripple voltages around 200 mVpp using the AC coupling mode. It is currently with Rigol in the US to try and figure out the issue. I have a strange feeling that it may be some design issue, and that it is present on all the 4000 series scopes. The same HV probe works perfectly with our other scopes in the lab (Agilent, Lecroy etc.). Maybe Dave can perform some testing on his side?

[@fjs1111]

Hey, I wanted to thank you for sharing that bit of information. I look at all of these comments when considering a new product and that is very helpful, perhaps they will do a firmware update from their site. best wishes

This is a beautiful scope. I don't need anything more than 50MHz bandwidth for what I do but I need low noise, 12 bits and more channels. 8 channels would be nice. 16 would be perfect.

[@fullmoon6661]

Excited for the teardown, thanks Dave!

[@movax20h]

I think the statistics top at 1000 count, because it is doing windowed statistics. That is it is showing avg, min, max, dev for the last 1000 measurements. This is actually pretty advanced feature, as most osciloscopes only show avg, min, max, dev since the stat reset. Ability to do windowed statistics actually require extra memory to do so. I am sure if you click on the measurements settings, you can change it down or up, or enable infinite count. In data sheet it says even "Statistical times settable". There is probably an upper limit (but I hope they have infinity, as that requires no extra memory), but probably common options like 100, 1000, 10k, 100k are available, as that can all be handled easily in few megabytes of memory in the SoC. It is not super complex feature, but even mid range scopes from R&H or Keysight, do not have that. Nice.

That is an absolutely beautiful scope. Stunning looking and the display, wow. Very very very nicely done.

[@JAKOB1977]

nahh, its quite far from an "absolutely beatiful scope that is stunningly looking" the UI interface looks okay, but the scope design in late 2022 for an unit that cost thousands of dollars, leaves a lot to be desired. and whats up with that dotted part at the bottom that almost looks like a sticker that is partly coming of, though its hopefully just a slide in the plastic but referring to this, as a "stunning and absolutely beautiful scope "26:07 is a stretch.

[@todayonthebench]

To be fair, there is a lot of useful applications for a 12 bit scope. But it would be nice if its DC gain accuracy were better than 2%. At least it is better than the DS1054z with its 4%. Though, the R&S RTB2004 is down at 1.5% Not that DC gain accuracy is the most critical spec for oscilloscopes. They don't replace multimeters by a long shot. But sometimes measuring voltages accurately is important, and it would be nice to see a scope with a DC gain accuracy better than 1%. Even if it hurts bandwidth.

[@cavemaneca]

It's always great to see them improving their hardware and software, but I don't think this scope is really worth it unless you have a really niche application.

[@AngDavies]

Bandwidth limit would reduce noise, just the thermal noise at 20mhz bandwidth corresponds to 4 microvolt rms noise absolute minimum and scales as the square root of bandwidth. 17 microvolt is actually fairly close to the absolute limit

[@bluetrepidation]

Analog Discovery 2 is a good bargain. Software is always improving. This is out of my price range for sure lol 😂

[@EEVblog]

The software for that is very nice.

[@davidhbrown0us]

Yeah... Just ordered one of those to do some basic MSO work. Looking forward to it coming next week.

[@gork42]

The increase in sample rate corresponds to roughly an additional bit (ENOB) so comparing to the R&S is should be about 3 bits (8x) higher resolution measurement. The same goes to the 20mhz bw limit when increasing mV/div. The massive oversampling gives an insane boost to the dynamic range. I’d like to know the ADC they are using; I would be curious to build a radio with it if it’s a COTS part. Also wish you would have fed it some signals closer to its bw limit or at least above 20mhz… If you show it again, please consider roughing it up a bit more.

[@jaro6985]

Its a custom chipset.

Did you know that the cheapest Hantek usb scope has 8 channels and 12 bit resolution? I think it's the model 1008. It's slow speed, but most of the time slow speed works just fine for me... I have many digital scopes capable of much higher speeds that only have 8 or 10 bit resolutions; while this scope hooked up to an old small screen laptop, (on battery power for no ground loops), running Win XP or Win 7 is all I need, With this 'beater' scope I can make low speed high resolution measurements in places where I would not want to use anything more expensive. Those scopes had been selling for about $70, (last time I looked), with a probe or two, and in some cases it even came with a travel bag. Mine are older and I would always wait for a sale, so I never paid more than $50 for any of mine.. I bought three of them, figuring that I would be blowing them up working on some really high voltage tube audio amplifiers, and wanted some spares handy. So far I have not wiped out any, but I did by a high voltage USB isolator guaranteed for up to 2500 VDC. I have been pretty sick and it's been a long time since I last used one, but I think it's probe scale multiplier went up to 100X or maybe even 1000X...... They probably cost more today due to inflation and tariffs on things from China, but are still worth taking a look at...

As to the touch screen being difficult to work with, do you know whether the scope accepts HID devices on its USB sockets, e.g. if you could use a mouse? It could could also become potentially handy if you grab the HDMI output for some video and it displays a nice pointer on the screen.

11:30/12:04 - Is there some setting comparable to the memory depth (9:33), and it's just set to 1k? Like, I presume it's currently using a 1000-element ring buffer that it averages from, and so it shows the count of points until full, and then (identically, after this point) the capacity of the ring buffer... but perhaps that capacity is changeable? Either way, I wonder how many samples (from the actual memory depth) go into each "count" on the stats. 🤔

[@edgaraskorsakas5703]

Touch screen is optional for me. I have RTB2000 and it requires minimal interaction with the screen and even so, that is on the limit for me. Touch screen is over-complication when test wires are all over the place I am holding a probe in one hand. Nice scope though. I am not sure if 12bit gives advantage when testing, but low noise on 1mV/div certainly does and this category I would say Rigol is on pair with RTB2000.

[@NICK-uy3nl]

The sin(x)/x interpolation and waveform averaging looks very suspicious. Are they using filters and software trickery to make the scope look better than what it really is ?

[@jeremycyclist6269]

I checked user manual for the HDO4000 series, and it's opposite, sin(x)/x is not an option in the HDO4000 family. These scopes offer only VECTOR display, the same as it's in the MSO5000.

[@funtechu]

sin(x)/x interpolation is actually the mathematically correct way to reproduce what was present on the input, assuming an input anti-aliasing filter that is a near-brickwall filter (and you can of course compensate for difference in the input filtering). All higher end scopes use sin(x)/x interpolation at their smallest timebases. Whether you can turn on/off "dot" mode is probably a software choice. In this case, it looks like they might be using a fairly low-quality approximation of sin(x)/x interpolation which is why it doesn't look like what you might expect. The averaging is likely a moving average filter, and you would only turn it on if you have a highly periodic signal, and you want to get an accurate measurement of the underlying signal. But either way, it looks pretty normal to me.

[@jeremycyclist6269]

I watched the video few more times, and I agree in the vertical zoom it's sin(x)/x interpolation, but the user guide say this scope has vector display. No single word about sin(x)/x... :)

Try the 50 Ohm input impedance. 1 MOhm generates pretty high Johnson noise. A termination at both ends will gain sqrt(2) S/N. At 23:50, is this an average of several sweeps? How else can you get analog noise below the digital resolution of the ADC?

[@braver1234]

Terminating the scope input into 50 ohms removes any Johnson noise from the 1 meg input impedance.

[@byronwatkins2565]

@@braver1234 No. It merely develops noise across 50 Ohms instead of 1 MOhm. Sampling the middle of a transmission line places 50 Ohm in parallel with 50 Ohm so that noise develops across 25 Ohm instead. I predict that the noise was specified by terminating the BNC with 50 Ohm and by selecting the 50 Ohm input impedance. This is equivalent to connecting a BNC T to the input and terminating two coax cables connected to the T ends while using the 1 MOhm input impedance.

[@funtechu]

Yep, that would be averaged over multiple acquisitions. As long as the noise is uncorrelated, you can end up with a substantial noise reduction. You can read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_averaging
