I borrowed a LeCroy Wavesurfer 44XS scope.
I had used LeCroy scopes previously, and know they are very high performing instruments.
But never used one with a Windows interface. Windows XP.
From a cold start to the time one can actually start manipulating the controls, it takes 6 minutes and 20 seconds to boot.
Even after boot, the screen freezes from time to time.
I ended returning it and getting another scope.
I had previously used another Windows scope, an Agilent if I remember correctly, and had also despised it.
What is your experience with Windows scopes?
Note, I am not talking about USB scopes like the Pico, but actual stand alone instruments running on a Windows environment.
