I agree. I think the big idea was we can replace the portable one's we use now for day to day bench work in favor of automated dscopes. Having looked at programing a scope, my AP515 that I have for my home bench is more streamlined then the dscope. I system one I got for you was upgraded to a 515 for home and the system one went into audio use elsewhere.
The one feature I need to spend more time with is the FFT aspect. We currently have a separate FFT machine at work, an sr770 by srs. I have yet to get any Ap to behave like that or any other test system for that matter. I am probably doing something to cause that but boy for 1980's tech the sr770 is still a heavy contender in 2017.
