Hello John,
Unfortunately, I have your opposite condition that I only know
old HP DSO's (and hated them), and know TEK much better. I suspect
both are doing the WinScope stuff, but I haven't seen it yet.
I think TEK led the way in making DSO's feel like analog scopes, so
us old analog guys would use them. I am digital now and will NEVER
go back!
As far are Phillips (PHG), I would have expected them to be in
'misc. tech'.
Networth just beefed up its site by adding categorized news archives.
It is awesome, you should check it out:
quicken.com
type in your stock of interest, and click on 'Article archive'.
I was looking under the market share category and found this old
article that makes me think TEK must doing the same thing.
Digital-storage-oscilloscope focus shifts from raw power to productivity
Abstracted from Product File: Electronic Engineering Times Supplement 06/96
Development of oscilloscopes has shifted from prototyping to computer modeling and simulation techniques, according to Jerry Murphy, a product marketing manager with Hewlett-Packard's Electronic Measurements Division (Colorado Springs, CO). Most oscilloscope vendors have emphasized PC connectivity in recent years and many have developed software packages that control the scope-PC communications and usage. Tektronix dominates the scope market, with about a 50% share, followed by Hewlett-Packard and several lesser-known players such as Boonton Electronics. The article discusses recent technological developments in the oscilloscope market and highlights some new products. |
