Thank you Chuck; Very bright and sharp - no halo. Fastest speed is 5 nano - at that speed, trace is easy to see. I hear you admonition; I'll wait a little - maybe never if everything is OK.
Thank you Bob; no revision date shown.
One further question. Is there anything ¡¯special¡¯ about the DM probes? I got 4 P6139a probes with it but no DMM probes. I would think any of my Fluke or other secondary market probes would be OK.
Thank you , larry

You can approximate the age of the unit by opening it and looking for component date codes. Sometimes on turn-on there is an information screen with a software/firmware revision date.

Hello all,
My new (to me) 2465BDM just arrived. Turning it on, all passed and gave me four lines - one for each channel.
I tried each channel in turn with my function generator and each worked fine. I will be testing the calibration over time.
What I wanted to know is how to tell the age and turn on times. I thought there was a way of doing so. I can¡¯t find it in the manual. Perchance I¡¯m wrong and there is no way of knowing. Further, I remember reading that those scopes with serial number above B05xxx needed their Caps replaced. My number is B014xxx. Thus, I think I¡¯m OK until I have more time to tear the thing apart.
I¡¯ll be selling my 2465 (300 Meg) as soon as I begin to feel comfortable with the new addition.
Thanks for any answers, larry
