Well, the 3054 is a "second hand" scope - just factory refurbished, selling for about $4000 less than when new. till it should measure) - but you can´t see it on the screen (dashed lines). Also a known bug : You can define the measure gate ( from which division from. We bought this one and a few weeks later the WS3000Z was avaible, with improved hardware (board, screen, touchpanel) - this was really annoying. Today it hungs up by trying to degaussing the AP011 probes - sometimes I think our WS3024 was defective but a look in the firmware revision history, there a several fixes for preventing the scope to crash. You hit a button on the screen.nothing happens althoug the audible feedback take notice about by a "click", it was an delay of a few seconds for responding. Further the response ( using touchpanel) will be slowed down ( don´t know exactly under which conditions, must examine it). The higher the frequency, the less it will freeze. There are different circumstances where the scope freezes - but one of them is an "approved" bug lecroy knows about it ( I´ve contact them and they could reproduce it, now it´s on their list for the next Firmware update.): At lower frequencies if you use the "find triggerlevel" button, the scope freezes and only turn off/on will take it back ( sometimes even this won´t work and you need to plug it off from the mains). It would have to be really cheap before I would consider buying one when the older scopes are so much more reliable I think if the scope is so expensive then the budget should include something better than a flimsy plastic handle that fails Someone who shall not be named once told me that these Lecroy Xi were of poor build quality and that they tend to overheat and that the power supplies are prone to fail. The handles on my LT scopes are solid enough to safely hold the weight of the scope, and so does the handle on my Agilent Infinum DSO8064. My Lecroy LTs are 17 years old and my Agilent DSO8064 is 11 years old and neither required any repair Missing encoders and knobs are not because a scope has been dropped but because the knobs have been knocked off by someone And why should an expensive scope not be portable? I think such a scope would be designed as a bench scope but it should still be portable to some extend. I don't think a 10 year old scope should already require extensive repairs. Let's hope the same is true for that VBA on ebay. Apparently our scope survived the accident without fatal damage. Apparently many of those scopes go to after market with one of the rotary controls broken, like our WR 64Xi. Regards, Dieter PS: And yes, a 20K scope should not be portable, because portable scopes keep falling down, independent of which handle they have. But there are enough of those pre-owned machines around to get help elsewhere. LeCroy service and accessories are expensive. It's easy to take apart and mount even without those drawings. It did have the black handle and stronger fans and i got some explosion views of the mechanics from LeCroy. Our WR 64Xi is similar to the VBA and i am confident we can keep it running after having spent 2 or 3 days exchanging the touch panel, cleaning the dirt inside, fixing one of the rotary encoders, renewing the clock battery etc. Quote from: dietert1 on April 25, 2019, 06:54:38 am Yes, when you buy a 10 year old machine you will have to do some maintainance and in that process you will learn in the Just stay calm and avoid crazy things like motherboard upgrades, option hacks and the like.
