The scope…from Hell!
http://edn.com/electronics-blogs/test-voices/4435528/The-scope-from-Hell-?_mc=NL_EDN_EDT_EDN_weekly_20141009&cid=NL_EDN_EDT_EDN_weekly_20141009&elq=8a300a26fe9f4eaea1466239b9fd9cff&elqCampaignId=19594

What I asked for was a general purpose 5GSa/s 1GHz four-channel bench scope. What I got was a 1GSa/s 100MHz two-channel. Still, it is somewhat usable, and less expensive than a fancy temperature-controlled soldering station. But it has bugs – many bugs.

I have been negotiating with the manufacturer to get a firmware update to fix these bugs. After five months, no results. This scope has been designed to accept firmware updates. Good planning. It needs them – desperately. (“Ship now and fix the bugs later. We have a schedule to keep!”)
