With the communications module, you get a cut-down version of the software
for free.  I've been using it for over a year now and I really haven't any
problems with it.  You should note that the captured waveforms are at the
same resolution as the displayed waveforms.

With the full software, I believe that you can also control the action of
the 'scope as well as upload/download pictures (and import/export them).

The TDS-210 has been a great tool, which I highly recommend.
