    Bird is a puffin. Black and white with a coloured beak, and not common in Australia outside of a zoo.
    And fast flying so a fast colour device.
    50R termination going to be well cooked if you put more than 2V into it, going to say you will have a call for inputs to have a warning on that mode, or you will be cooking input resistors within a week if you have anything over naff all input power.

      Yes, I expect many fried 50ohm inputs. Maybe they couldn't get the bandwidth (and response shape) they wanted with the bigger part.

      @@EEVblog I can see the one accessory being sold will be a 50R inline termination that can handle 5W, probably with 6dB attenuation or more, so that you can actually use the 50R input. Otherwise a warning when selecting 50R that your input range is limited to 1V only.
      Looks like the team was the one that did the spectrum analysers.

    • @SeanBZA
      @SeanBZA 2 года назад

      @@aDaWaN Makes sense, after all a single spin cast mould that integrates it all is going to be cheaper in the assembly line, and you can get great dimensional stability in that single part as well so minimal machining work to get good results. You need a heat sink, so makes sense to have a single part then for the entire range, and it definitely cuts the cost down in assembly. Spin cast, run through a single CNC mill to level the critical paths, and drill the holes and tap them, and be done. One fixturing clamp only needed, and perhaps 3 minutes of machining time total. 400 per machine per day is probably faster than the rest of the production line.

    Rockchip 3399 is commonly used for android boards. I think Linux will run on a wide range due to the large community but I always see the rockchip 3399 and the older 3288 on android devices- it’s probably because there is well validated software to run on it. The two buttons populated are recover and reset and I always see them populated regardless of if it’s intended to be worked on. Somehow it must be required. I’m working on a 3288 now trying to hack an old advertising display with touch screen on it. It’s supposed be to be “pretty powerful” for android because it’s also found commonly in Chromebooks

    an interesting note with the closer look around 24:25.
    the micron memory there (and likely for the SoC as well) is 4Gb/512MB x16 width DDR3L 1866MT/s memory, so there is 2GB total RAM there, which makes sense with the ongoings under the hood. the 3399 ARM SoC has a PCIe 3.0x4 link which also makes it easier for coms to the FPGA with low latency, as a few people in the comments here have mentioned. this is fitting given it's 2Gs/s would be too much for serial unlike lower sample rate and bandwidth scopes.

  • @Chilangosta

    Very clean construction; interesting choice to put the R&D into the front end with a bespoke chip and ADC, and shell out for the Artix7. Crazy amount of heat and noise, but I think a lot of people will find the trade-off acceptable!
    Would be super cool to see somebody unify the front end & ADC; you'd end up with a very modular front end that you could feed into an FPGA and go from there. I can imagine a lot of possibilities for that combo.

      IT IS Legal in Australia
      they can legally refuse your warranty if the sticker is violated
      and i'll tell you how i know this
      Many moons ago when i bought my DS2000A Series Rigol scope
      as we all did, i did my upgrade to 300MHz
      Anyway, i went into Emona Instruments at one point and they figured they'd come out with the question and face me with it
      well... Little did they realize , i handle pressure extremely well and i don't give 2 fucks about what they think
      In a nutshell, they asked
      "so... you did the upgrade illegally did you ?"
      i said to them, "No, I didn't do anything illegal, but i did do the upgrade"
      The scope is mine i can do what i want with it
      they asked "so you removed the warranty sticker did you "
      I said "well.... You can see the warranty sticker is intact and un damaged and not violated"
      they went on about a speech regarding "well, we know you took it off"
      and i said "well, regardless of what you think you know the sticker acts as evidence of tampering and as you can see the sticker has not been violated and is still intact"
      THEY HONOURED THE WARRANTY
      so yes, it's legal
      But... Had i said directly "Yes, i removed the sticker" this would have been enough to void the warranty instead, i said "well. You can see it's still intact"
      In Australia there is a big difference there , legally speaking.
      and ... LOL.. He actually tried to debate with me as to whether i was doing something wrong.
      and i said,
      Mate, it's my scope, i can throw it in the bin, i can piss on it if i want , i can pull it apart and take the components out, it's my scope
      When he said, but it's our software
      i said... "well, You shouldn't have been so stupid so as to lock it via software, and you should have been smart enough to know who you are selling to and what the product is, what did you expect us to do , We are technical people, as soon as we get something home, we open it and check it out, did you honestly expect no one to interrogate the firmware ? so.. since you were banking on no one finding out and we did, i suppose you'll learn for next time won't you , as for now, you gotta cop it on the chin"
      he said, when you bring in your scope for service we'll just roll back the update to 70MHz
      and i said "actually , no you won't , what you will do is LEAVE THE SCOPE IN A SIMILAR CONDITION AND STATE TO WHICH I BROUGHT IT TO YOU IN"
      they had no way out of this , they just had to grin and bear it
      Most people kept quiet about the upgrade, i didn't give a fuck

    I'm confused Dave, you keep saying 800mhz scope, but it says 200mhz on the case?

    • @henninghoefer
      @henninghoefer 2 года назад +2

      That's because the hardware is an 800MHz scope, only the firmware limits it to 200MHz. You can buy a license code from Rigol and unlock the higher bandwidths.

  • @Bobby-fj8mk
    @Bobby-fj8mk 2 года назад +1

    It's using custom Rigol chips - what if they need to be replaced one day?
    it has BGA chips - so hard to fix if not impossible.
    The multitude of tiny switch mode power supply chips doesn't look durable to me.
    I've seen chips like that cooked on PCBs.
    As Dave says at 16:00 those tracks and parts look very whimpy for 50 ohm mode.
    Are they 5 thou tracks and tiny resistors?
    So could they burn out in some situations?

      BGAs actually aren't too bad anymore; even if you're not comfortable with or don't have a good hot air gun they have a broad hoof attachment for most irons that let you take them off in seconds. Then you can stencil on some solder paste (stencils are optional, but cheap and helpful), heat it again to create the ball, and then plop it back down and zap it again quick with some heat and you're done!

    • @Chilangosta
      @Chilangosta 2 года назад +1

      I think the hardest part for me with custom chips is the supply. Dries up quickly after production and then you're dead in the water if you need one down the road.

      @@Chilangosta - in theory that is OK but in practice it's hard to get a reliable repair.
      You can't see if your solder connections are all OK.
      Did you know that they check BGA connections with an X-Ray system in the factories?

    • @Bobby-fj8mk
      @Bobby-fj8mk 2 года назад +2

      @@Chilangosta - yes - they make only a certain number of chips and that's it.
      Factories will often order an extra 10% to keep as spare stock
      so they can do repairs and that's all there is.
      They use too many custom chips to cut down the cost of mass production.
      In the good old days design engineers would try their best to use chips
      that were available from at least 3 different sources but not anymore.
      Some chips now even need factory firmware to operate them too.
      You'd never be give that.
      The repair game is a thing of the past in many cases.

    Just I thought but I bet the IQ at the end of the front end IC probably means its an IQ demodulator which explains the dual differential pair from each channel.

      You hack it by hand entering bits via the small pushbuttons on the board. This takes 12 hours, and if you make a mistake, the scope becomes bricked.
