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.

hey guys! I have plans about an upgrade to my bench for this year. (might happen to be delayed until next year) I own and use AD2 and DD, but especially the Oscilloscope part in AD2 starts to 'feel' too limited for me. Are there any(!) plans for releasing a, say, AD3 for the more ambitionated post-grad people some day? Maybe a little more buffer, persistance, re-worked frontend or so? Did you hear about desires for a tool in the e.g. 1k price-range at all?
