Comparing Oscilloscopes > 500MHz

fpga_and_more

We need to exchange next year some of our Measurement equipment Amongst others Oscilloscopes 500MHz and I consider to change the brand We have at the moment  TDS3054CTDS3054C and similar Maybe we go for Keysight or maybe even far-east

However, I am not sure how to approach it. How can I make in an efficient way a technical and commercial comparision, without investing hours and days in researching and reading. At this stage, I don´t want to contact any of our usual suppliers, because they push for their products and follow up too persistent. Who had some similar situation and what is an easy approach?

    Hello Peter,

     

    I had to do a similar task just a few weeks ago. The technical comparison was quite difficult. You can try to google for something like "<device_name> alternatives" or you simply google the <device name>, browse through the various results and see if the webshops suggest "similar devices". This takes some time because you have to go through each google result. Therefore I also used this tool in parallel: https://rentog.com/price-comparison (seems to be quite new). This is more or less a "search engine" for test and measurement devices and lists prices from different web shops.

     

    I hope this helps.

     

    Regards,

    Hermann

    Looks like a very bad comparison site. I searched for 34411A and it referred me to one obscure web shop - which dooesn't list a price anyway, it just states "call for quote", completely ignoring all the large, reputable suppliers out there who have it in stock with a stated price. This entire thread already looks a little spammy if we include the original question which specifies not contacting usual suppliers..
