One I've seen used is good and not too pricey, but I don't recall the name. My only issue with it is that it doesn't have a Linux driver. I keep wanting to switch to Linux, but this is the sort of thing that holds me back. Ah, found it. LogicPort by Intronix. Not a bad device, but no scope. > > This one is interesting. I'm thinking about the $1100 model, MSO-9201 w/LAPOD meaning it has a 12 bit logic analyzer and not just the scope. Anyone use this?

If I can't find anyone who has these devices I think this one is less of a risk and likely the right choice anyway. Other than the much more limited buffer size it's probably enough for my needs anyway. > > Then little brother has a little brother for $249 with only one input channel, but adds a pattern generator (on the logic analyzer port) and TDR. I think I'd still want the two channels. A one channel scope is rather limited. > > I wonder how good the software is. I got a Hantek scope once and couldn't even get the software to run. Zero support... ZERO! I got a full refund because they couldn't track the package and I still have the piece of junk. It's just an MCU on a serial port. > Took a different approach here, never satisfied with second rate test gear, not have the budget for the sort of kit I would want to use and have respect for. Built a up a lab over the years buying s/hand HP, Tek etc and fixing up where needed. Also, multi function gear is always a compromise and often ends up doing nothing very well. If you are a good engineer, you won't be happy with it :-). Most of the kit here is a decade old or much more and some of it is big and klunky, but once fixed up can be relied upon to work whenever needed. At current prices, could spend 100K on test gear and still not have more capability. Ymmv, of course... Chris
