  • Look. I was and I'm interested in this scope as a hobbyist. I consider this N-in-1 type instruments are targeted for small companies and hobbyist. Ok, maybe this model is too expensive for hobbyists, but the thing is there are some direct competitors that have affordable prices.

     

    Now, let's say you are a small company or hobbyist and looking for such an instrument. You did the research (there are lot of materials online like product specifications, reviews, comparisons, etc. to do this just 'on-spec'), and got a list o adequate candidates from different manufactures.

     

    To decide which one to buy you may want to see what each one would cost. These instrument are available of the shelf from many places including Farnell, so you may take a look here. I think it does not really help if the included options here are unclear, as you can actually order the instrument from those sites.

     

    Btw, I doubt you get any direct negotiation chances as a hobbyist. If you're represent a company you're probably get a chance to negotiate.

     

    And I consider marketing, communications and pricing model part of the product. It is not the most important part, but it is a thing to consider.

  • This scope costs over GBP11,000 (from Farnell.)  People wouldn't normally buy it 'on-spec' but after either intensive investigation across the marketplace and/or after contacting Keysight (and competitors) for an evaluation version.  I also expect that some sort of negotiation would go on at that price for 'additional feature licenses thrown in.'

     

    I don't think products issued for review should have expiring licenses and that's a shame, but one shouldn't review this on the basis of what one could/couldn't afford or what is said on the Farnell et al websites.  Not at this price point and especially as the licenses lasted for the review period.  Frankly, I think that's missing the point.

     

    Incidentally, I'd be happy to swap it for my Siglent 1104X-E which has all the decode options and hacked to 200MHz.  I'd even pay the both-ways postage costs!

    (I'm a fan of everlasting licenses for reviewers, but I miss the link between device quality and your license expiring)

     

    "Buyers know what they buy."

    The product pages of MSOX3034T on different sites (Keysight, Farnell, etc.) are far from being clear. It is kind of vague what options are being included at a given price point. I also pointed this out in my review. So, you really need to dig to find out what you're buying.

    "How does an expiring license change the review of the functions?"

     

    It does not changes my opinion about the functions of the scopes. But, features that disappear after about 5 months, are considered "trial features" in my opinion (a.k.a advertising). I consider important to point it out that you may NOT get those features for what you pay.

  • Kinda sucks for the roadtesters. To be selected for one of such products like a scope, means you're putting in significant amount of work. Then, you realize it's a demo.

     

    What's preventign the roadtester to update their review?

     

    What if I only read that today after the update, and saw a negative review?

     

    Would I buy it?

  • For the moment I assume this is just a misunderstanding and I hope Keysight will get this "fixed". That's why I contacted Keysight's support and about this.

    If they really don't want to fix it, I will have no other choice but to edit my RoadTest and point out the disappeared features. So, at least potential buyers are aware of this and will double check what they are buying. But, lets hope this will not happen.

  • There's no rule. I've seen everlasting and temporary licenses.

    The thing is that if you hand over a device to an active blogger, they will keep on using and investigating, as long as the device works and is relevant.

     

    What party wins by providing temporary licenses to an active blogger? I think no one. The only effect is that the blogs stop.

    It would be good if there was a "not for commercial use, but you can use it to publish posts any time" kind of license.

  • Is it normal for manufactures to time limit the benefit/payment to the reviewer for taking the time, resources and experience to produce a review and thus advertise their product?  If it is it needs to be made very clear upfront otherwise I can see a few roadtests turning a little negative, especially if it happens halfway through the review!

  • Yeah, I re-checked the packaging list and looks like the scope came with an MSOX3000T-DST option:
    MSOX3000T-DST, Demo for indirect channel partners, 9-month license, LAN/VGA module and soft carrying case

     

    I didn't observed this when I did the unboxing...

  • The original doc's that came with the scope said the licenses were 9months. I feel like it expired much quicker though.

     

    The license is very expensive and is beyond my wallet. I will continue to employ it for my analog and special triggering needs but beyond that, i have an an alternative solution.
