Thank you for this information.
Looks interessting and I am curious about more details.
edit:
I realized on the eevblog that ADP3450 is close to being release. Here are my thoughts:
I am not sure if the ADP3450 is the device I was hoping for. It really only feels like a slightly improved version of the AD2 (which I own) with minimal changes to the front, merged with the linux system which is something I, personally, would not miss when talking about an oscilloscope.
Scope-wise I like the fact that high gain is limited to 2V input, promising a little better performance with 1:10 probes. Wonder if there are changes to the clock generation for the ADCs or any other changes. I think a more performant clock source won't hurt when reaching the 14bit resolution.
I am curious if we can expect some kind of multi level shading in addition to the traditional noise visualization. To me that is sometimes a really useful feature of the fast digital scopes nowadays.
32k buffer in repeated mode is no big deal I think. Maybe record mode should be used for glitch-hunting.
100 MS/s (ok maybe 125 MS/s) feel like there could happen some aliasing effects, considering 55 MHz+ bandwidth.
All in all I could not wait for the release, but in the meanwhile I cannot notice enough improvement to the AD2 to be still excited. And, wow, the price tag is hefty! I can't wait to see tear downs or 1st hand experience once the device hits the market.
Announcement of an other series (5000) confused me. Really i can't follow the strategic planning. If I was into measuring, say pulses that require higher sampling rate, I would need to buy a highly redundant device. Or should I wait until ADP5250 is available to see what better suits me? That is almost like trying to compete picoscope.
I do not mean to be offensive, not at all. I have that feeling of disappointement :-( Looking foreward to seing more about this device! I love the form factor.
