DSO Quad suggestion and bugs.

Products & Technology DSO Quad

Until now, it was a waste of money to me buy the DSO QUAD. After many firmwares updates, and calibrations. The value in the screen isn´t correct.
I tried what Spiro says, and the measure comes better. But not precise. Only shows better values in the bottom. If I want to see the negative part of the wave, I can´t.

Or I´m missing something, or it´s a Hardware problem.
My Hardware is v2.60

Did you try this Forum SW?

Hi developers,

I got a second DSO with the following description and a new firmware/APP.
Hardware version 2.60
sys version 1.51
App (plus A1) Version 1.00
It’s a massive improvement in navigation because the menu keys are entirely consistent in function. Full write up here:

It got me thinking that just a few changes are required to introduce a much easier menu scheme for the Community APP, namely the order of button selection. Obviously there are multiple solutions but here’s a couple of proposals:

  1. Right mouse navigation key scrolls always and only through menu groups. It rotates clockwise using right dab as today, so after TRG it would move to dV and then to dT, and so on down the vertical measurement menu, when displayed. When it gets to FrqD it moves to XPOS and further right dabs move it through T2, T1, Save, V2, V1, Ypos then back to ChA. Left dabs always move it anti clockwise.

This does produce more than one way to move around eg: from XPOS to trigger using navigation OR left mouse press as they are both orange group, but I don’t see a problem with that. It would mean an end to the struggle of how to get to eg: the cursors.

  1. Right mouse press toggles between Top Horizontal menu, Vertical menu when displayed, and Bottom horizontal menu. Once there, left/right and up/down work as today, but it does not jump from one group to the other, it wraps within the current group.

I think consistant button operation could be a very popular improvement. The ‘Plus A1’ is so nice to use in comparison that I have only updated the older DSO with the Community App even though it would significantly improve the new one as an actual scope.
Cheers,
Mike
