Just finished a tough road test

Fred27

Well, I've finally finished my RTM3004 Road Test! Rohde & Schwarz Oscilloscope Kit RTM3K-COM4 - Review

 

It was a amazing to be selected for it and I'm really grateful to E14 and Rohde & Schwarz. I felt that such an impressive piece of test equipment deserved a good road test and I hope that's what I managed. I always feel that if I've committed to a Road Test then I really want to get it done to the best of my ability and on time. I'm amazed when I see people who it seems don't feel that it's a 2-way deal. I've seen a few token attempts and well overdue road tests. That's just not on.

 

You probably can't tell, but well over 100 hours of work went into it. You probably see a few screenshots, a bit of text and a 30 minute video but a lot goes into that. I had to decide how I'd cover each piece, find my way around the 'scope so it worked as I was expecting. Then I had to do it again and record it with screenshots. I repeated this for each section.

 

I planned to do the overview video at the end when I was most familiar with the 'scope's features, so each experiment had to be set up again. I tried to keep consistent lighting between sections. The odd one was out of focus as I thought I'd focused on the screen but it had focused on the reflection on the screen! Time to do it again. Then there was video editing.

 

Anyway, it was a fair bit more work that it looks but it was totally worth it. I hope everyone gets something out of it.
