I got my existing Tektronix TDS220 on ebay.

I'd caution you that a computer implementation of an istrument is seldom as convenient as one with knobs and switches, even if it is computer-controlled internally. I'd probably agree (I haven't tried any of the latest PC-based scopes, so I can't speak from experience of the current state of the art). But the Rigel model shown - like the TDS220 - does look to have a sufficient complement of real knobs for my practical use. Have you considered, at all, purchasing an "experienced-but-fully-functional" instrument of the 1960's generation No, that wouldn't be suitable. I really do need the ability to at least download the screen image to a PC. Yes, I do remember the days when capuring a "screenshot" from a scope meant using a Polaroid camera - and I do not want to go back to that! |

| It's possibly more convenient nowadays than in 1960. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
