+i owned a ds1054z and it took me years to learn:
+
+the scope is slow when using the knobs, however
+it is really powerful (although i have not tested personally)
+with its scripting / automation capability. so to me
+the 1054z is all about connecting it via usb or ethernet
+and using it via python or whatever.
+
+i would probably not use it as a general use scope. only for
+scripting (which it seems to excel at).

+test ideas with 1054z scope
+=====================
+strictly logging:
+  solar panel, test battery, solar levels, 
+  measure voltage differentials or resistance of
+    meat as it is ageing (would need to be in a fridge).
+as a vna:
+  characterize RC or other filter performance see: https://github.com/jp3141/Vector-Network-Analyzer
+  not really something you'd automate over time i don't think.
+take a signal you see, output waveform to csv
+  reoutput on a signal gen
+
+
+possibly i could enable all measurements 
+https://nathankjer.com/ds1054z/
+and then record all these values.
+deep dive into timing errors with a micro:
+https://elexperiment.nl/2019/05/automating-measurements-with-the-rigol-ds1054z/
+can measure fft as well, see nathankjer link.
+can do 'mask testing' or give alert if signal goes out of a specified range.
+there's probably some other stuff, watch the eevblog video which goes over the 
+features.
+
+as another option the analog discovery might do some of the above as well.
+no idea which is better / easier. would have to use both and do a review.
