Sorry folks. I've made a bit of an oops here.
There are three different things that can be plugged on the back of the
TDS-210/220.
The TDS2HM is a hard copy module. That is a centronix port that allows
direct output to a printer only.
The TDS2CM is a comms module. Centronix, RS232 & GPIB. Comes with Wavestar
Lite and costs around $260.
The TDS2MM is the measurement module which is the same as the TDS2CM plus
it adds the extra measurement features (rise/fall, pulse width & FFT). That
costs around $500.

My understanding was that the CM had evolved into the MM, but that
obviously isn't the case.
Sorry for any confusion.


Steve.
