It seems the SA functionality sits right between the FFT on a "normal" scope and a standalone SA. I suppose that's not really a surprise, but it's great to see it thoroughly road tested.

Interesting to see the MDO34 compared to a standalone spectrum analyser. There is quite a difference between the quality of the displays and the information provided.

I think that tends to be a fundamental issue with these multifunctional instruments, there is always sacrifices made to some elements to be able to squeeze it all into one case, in comparison to standalone instrumentation that can incorporate better specifications within the one type of instrument.

Kind regards
