I've been using a Tek 465 for a
while. (I use my scope fairly regularly, but I do tend to work off my
Fluke 9010 more.) I am thinking of getting a digital scope, and what
I'd really like to do is to have the capability to capture waveforms
and transfer them to my PC. I'm just starting to look at the various
options, and it looks like the HP54600 might be a good choice. Lately
they've seemed a little pricey on eBay. I do like the Tek name brand,
so I wouldn't be adverse to a Tek DSO, I think the TDS is the right
model line?
Anyway, any recommendations on
what to get? It's important for me to have the capability to transfer
the images to my PC, but I don't think I need anything faster than
100MHz. In fact, the less expensive the better because I do find that I
only use my scope 25% of the time. The rest of the time I get the
information I need from my probe and test scripts.
