I did not when blind yet, regarding new product releases.
Past month news, GW Instek GDS-2000HD & GDS-2000HG Series 12-bit Oscilloscope.
But I cannot feel any excitement, this is a budget line with graphic user interface (GUI), this be by far different, of what us old customers of GW Instek we would expect.
Old series GDS-2000A, this is a Medium Tear Scope, and not a budget series.
I liked this series allot, as it came with Classic Tektronix (GUI).
For more than ten years, I am waiting to see a Medium Tear Scope at 12bit, made by GW Instek.
Unfortunately this newer Android based GW Instek series, this is not attractive at all. :(
Under the hood, similar product design this is offered also by OWON, this is a Low-End brand.
These new GW Instek + OWON series, they have both 99.9% identical looks. :P
Long story in short, I thought so far that GW Instek this is a serious product developer, an innovator at oscilloscopes development.
But I do not think of that any more...
GW Instek, this is transformed in to a bigger Super Market, and there is no financial investments in favor of original R&D.
