So, having an AD2, the AD3 doesn't look like a significant enough upgrade on its own, and having an AD2, buying an AD3 would mean still having basically the same functionality as a single AD2 with minor improvements. I'm wondering about the likelyhood of implementing dual mode for an AD2+AD3, making the AD3, the slightly more capable instrument, run in what would be an AD2 mode of sorts. limiting its capabilities to match those of the AD2 while running both together to form a 4 channel instrument, and then when using it alone, being able to run it as it normally would. I think having this option would make it easier to justify the purchase of an AD3, as now it would not only bring the minor improvements over the AD2, but also, in a way, expand the capabilities of both test instruments by being able to run them in dual mode.
Because using the AD3 as a replacement for the AD2, when you already have an AD2, it doesn't make a lot of sense for the cost when that would mean one of the instruments would go live in a drawer or be sold, or be kept as backup or something, but wouldn't be of use at the same time.
So, how likely is it for a combined dual mode to be implemented?
