        I have one, and its really a cool tool, 18 total ch, 2 analog and 16
digital, but you define the voltage for the logic chanels from -6v to +
6v, or
simply put ttl cmos or ecl, also de MEGA soom function its very
helpfull,
you can capture a snap shoot of 1 sec and then soom trhu all the snap
shot in
soom mode with any resolution you whant until 5ns per/div, all this
added to
many other nice litte futures.

        I have the digital pods, already conected to my pic emulator, so
at all times i can see all 13 i/o lines of 18pins devices. and then you
are left with the 2 analog for something else, and you can see the
relation
in time of the analog and digital chanels.
