<monochroma> centos/rhel get used in semiconductor design firms quite a bit for their desktop environment
<monochroma> RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 reach EOL in 2024
<monochroma> but i would avoid work on older kernels if it's a green field application

<azonenberg> I still have a bunch of 4.x kernels floating around on older debian boxes
<azonenberg> but those are being rapidly phased out as i upgrade to bullseye
<azonenberg> Just haven't hit everything on the network yet
<azonenberg> I haven't run 3.x in quite some time
<azonenberg> Also, getting a demo of a siglent ssg5060x-v sent to me soonish. I'll have it for a week
<azonenberg> Anybody have ideas on cool projects or things to try with it?
<azonenberg> this is mostly a sanity check that i don't strongly dislike something about it, if the demo goes well I plan to buy one as soon as I have the funds (hopefully December-January time frame)
<azonenberg> My long term plan is to use it for verification of my scope front ends and active probes to measure things like harmonic distortion
<azonenberg> as well as frequency sweeps to measure flatness of my scope designs because you cant exactly use a VNA when flatness of the ADC is part of the path under test
<azonenberg> Much of these features will only use the CW tone generation but I want to get the I/Q board because that can't be retrofitted later
<azonenberg> and as I start doing more RF it will be a useful feature to have
<azonenberg> For lower freq I can use it as is, for higher freq I will want to get a power sensor so I can use the flatness correction feature on it to de-embed cable losses
<azonenberg> But it will be a while before my scope designs are high enough BW that cable losses are nontrivial
<azonenberg> i don't expect 500 MHz is going to have much of a problem with cable de-embedding

<_whitenotifier-1> [starshipraider] azonenberg pushed 3 commits to master [+14/-5/±0] https://git.io/JzxgA
<_whitenotifier-1> [starshipraider] azonenberg 212caa4 - More AKL-AD3 sims
<_whitenotifier-1> [starshipraider] azonenberg 5bf4bfb - Removed old single ended sim
<_whitenotifier-1> [starshipraider] azonenberg be6691d - More experiments on simulation of AKL-AD3 tip. Still not satisfied with how any of them turned out.
<azonenberg> this is quite interesting because the normal website lists "starting at" prices for the lowest model in a family
<azonenberg> but this has some higher BW models so you can see how much more they charge for upper BW
<azonenberg> also lol, the current gen SDAs are $153K for 13 GHz and $204K for 20 GHz, so 16 GHz is probably around $175K
<azonenberg> getting a last-gen 16 GHz one for $33K was quite the deal
<azonenberg> 81% off or so
<azonenberg> Even when you add in what i'm going to spend on upgrades, it's still going to be way less than MSRP
<azonenberg> (also ouch on the price tag for the labmaster lol)
<bvernoux> azonenberg, do you have some measurements on AKL-AD3 ?
