I think you'll find the bandwidth rather limiting. IIRC they run less than
1M samples per second.

Our electronics lab has recently invested in a rather nice digital 'scope.
It's got a front panel like a conventional scope but is only 4 inches
thick. We were using it to look at microsecond pulses without any problems.
They're not horribly expensive and they take up very little bench space.

I just wish I could justify buying one for myself :-(
