this is what i was eyeing
<
azonenberg_work>
it's 350 MHz 16 bit and MSRP around 16 kUSD
<
azonenberg_work>
i havent even found anything faster that seems remotely decent
<
azonenberg_work>
most of them are RF siggens with a baseband and upconverter
<
azonenberg_work>
that can't work down to DC
<
azonenberg_work>
or do wideband stuff
<
bvernoux>
even Rigol AWG are expensive ...
<
bvernoux>
with only 1GSps
<
azonenberg_work>
ebay has a
*refurbished* one for 41 kUSD
<
azonenberg_work>
i dont even want to know what it sells fo rnew
<
azonenberg_work>
trs rentelco has one for sale used as well, 42.8 kUSD
<
bvernoux>
I imagine the price of M8190A
<
bvernoux>
> 100KUSD ;)
<
azonenberg_work>
easily
<
bvernoux>
5GHz Analog BW
<
bvernoux>
has a crazy cost ;)
<
bvernoux>
what is a shame with Keysight and other is the tools
<
bvernoux>
it is provided on a ISO DVD of 5GB
<
bvernoux>
and you need to install >1GB of ch... just to have GPIB USB working ;)
<
azonenberg_work>
lol wow
<
bvernoux>
and all is in demo version and you shall pay for every sw
<
bvernoux>
I imagine it is the same for Lecroy ...
<
azonenberg_work>
lecroy has software unlocks for 256M/512M/1G points, default is 128M
<
bvernoux>
the most awfull is they install their Key License "Trojan"
<
azonenberg_work>
high voltage (12 p-p into 50 ohm)
<
bvernoux>
which scan everything plugged in the computer
<
azonenberg_work>
and digital bitbang
<
azonenberg_work>
otherwise it looks like the rest is standard
<
bvernoux>
so maybe Keysight is the worst ;)
<
azonenberg_work>
the lecroy is also ethernet connected via scpi
<
azonenberg_work>
so i can write whatever i want + use the built in UI
<
azonenberg_work>
But lacking $16K to spare i wont be buying it any time soon
<
azonenberg_work>
if i do have that much cash it's going to buy sonnet which i need more :p
<
bvernoux>
yes clearly Sonnet is a best buy than Lecroy/Keysight ... SW ;)
<
bvernoux>
see you have a good night (or morning ;)
