Keysight 3000T 1GHz Oscilloscope Review

Keysight sent me a fully loaded MSO-X 3104T touch screen mixed signal oscilloscope to review!

there we have it... DLCs for oscilloscopes

[kilianod]

Hands down, this is the best equipment review I've ever seen!

Whatever it costs Keysight for 100Mhz model, It is money well spent.
Good succinct review.
Its nice to have a reviewer that's upfront.
Thanks

I have seen other reviews for the scope but you have explained it in a way that even though I'm a hobbyist, I want one >.<
I would have to go with the digital data analysis options (RS232, etc) as that would be very helpful figuring out signals and timing.

Just have to convince the CEO and CFO (wifey) to part with the hard earned :P

Great review :)

This is, perhaps, the most thoughtful and in-depth review of an oscilloscope that I've ever seen! If every review on the internet were like this, I'd have easily been able to decide on a new scope months ago! Well done! Here's to hoping they lend you something for the budget-conscious in exchange for a nice meter or something!

Great video. Thanks a lot!
With expensive equipment like this, for any hobby, it's important to know exactly how it will benefit you, and consider how often you need that benefit.

As usual it's a pleasure to to whatch your channel and how you bring your knowledge and insight out to your viewers in an easy understandeble way.

I don't care much about the review but I'm really glad you've got a new scope out of it.

[ftaghnify]

Great Review! Thank you very much!
Also, I miss your other videos.
I'll go back and like them.

touchscreen oscilloscope = moderate => expert (due to touchscreen, makes using it alot easier
ordinary oscilloscope = expert => professional (due to non touchscreen, makes using it alot difficult)

[cybercapri]

This looks like the Caddy of Oscilloscope, with major bonus features too... Nice...

[deangreenhough]

Ohhhh I want one! Beautifully presented, one day this will be an option, added to my bucket list. Keep up the good work.

Nice 'looking' scope, except they don't have the memory to mark all events (as seen in your video). You also can't trust the measurements. For example do a single acquisition on a sine wave with lots of pulses on screen. Then do a rise time measurement on a gated region. Zoom in and out and you'll noticed the measurement changes a lot. That's because the measurements are on screen pixels and not waveform data. I can't trust this instrument. All Tektronix, Lecroy, R&S scopes perform measurements on waveform data. Much more trustworthy.

Life sciences was growing faster and making less money?, If Keysight makes more money the right thing is to let them keep the name. Agilent separated from HP because HP computers was getting too large (making more) so they kept the name. Agilent is a much larger company with much more expensive equipment than Keysigh. I think Investors will more likely invest in Agilent than in Keysight. I hope to see nice gear in the future since they have more money now for R&D. Beautiful review and your voice ROCKS!

Little known fact you can also plug in a usb hub and plug in a usb keyboard and a flash drive at the same time.  This should work on all the agilent / keysight scopes.

Great review! It was entertaining, informative and at times funny. I'm a nerd/engineer and I thank you.  

[voltlog]

Great review, I like the way you kept it short but still useful. Touchscreen is cool & new(for scopes) but it's useful only for the on screen keyboard. 

[Falcrist]

Impressive review. Too bad that model costs as much as a new car! :P
I'm considering the Rigol DS1054Z at the moment (actually, one of the 100MHz models with the signal gen). I just have to finish comparing prices.

[adamt]

I love how you can get a DSO90000 for a third of that used on the official Keysight eBay page (plus you can make an offer)!

[KimberlyRPeacock]

It is unfortunate that Keysight and Tek are following the Path of Dec and IBM. Instead of working really hard to own the maker and diy crowd which is exploding, they are keeping up the margins, and letting China take the market. In the long run they will be sorry, and I am sure they will lower prices and try and compete, but it will be too late.
