Turn your Rigol DS1052E Oscilloscope into a 100MHz DS1102E

If you said anything sensible about electronics, properly bottom posted, I would.

So, are you enjoying the big money?

John

Financial Controller, Try it, you will make a lot more bucks...

Yes, I sold my soul but.

If making money was the be all and end all in my life I may have tried something like that as well. However, as I approach 50 I can honestly say I am glad I made my living following a simple passion I had when I was 13 years old, which was to truly understand how a radio worked. The money becomes less and less important as I get older, and the satisfaction of having pursued my childhood dreams for life become more and more satisfying.

You can make pretty-big money designing electronics, and have fun all the while.

But the real secret to success and happiness is to marry a beautiful woman who has a good job.

That's very nicely said, Brent -- congratulations on following your dream!

Yeah, imagine being a lawyer or a banker and dying rich. What's the point?

John

thanks.

m!

Agreed. There are very few things I can think of where you can make decent money and stay creative for a decent percentage of your time. I can not imagine being a doctor and seeing 20 people a day - yuk.

He wouldn't constantly start the same thread if he weren't a troll. He would design some electronics but he's too dense.

Yeah - he who dies with the most toys wins, right? ;-)

Funny, you're dim enough.

You believe there is a right to publish *anything*, even that which is private. You've said so.

Hear, hear!

I was thinking about that very thing the last time I sat in an "immediate care" (a.k.a. "Doc in a Box") facility waiting to see a doctor. The poor slobs must see forty or fifty people a day, every day. Yuck! A surgeon seems more challenging, but still on the order of a technician.

You clearly have forgotten how delayed sweep works. The sweep is not=20 even on the same trigger cycle. Say alternate trace, just like is=20 typical for multichannel analog scopes (dual gun scopes excepted).

message=20

=20

Really? How much does it cost to do that? If you could back off to say=20

Sometimes at least, depends on how much and how fast it is coming in=20 or going out.

Stupid ass. See my comments elsewhere in this thread about this. With numbers.

That's why I asked how it would work with a non-periodic waveform (one-shot, in other words). Modern digital scopes have no problem with such a situation. See my example in ABSE.
