>I bought a brand new Tektronix TDS210 (1GS/s, 60MHz bandwidth) for = $1700 >Australian (about $1000 US), in Australia. Yesterday had the nice new Tek TDS7000 series demonstrated. Price? =A316300 (approx) for the 10GS/s 1GHz version without any probes =A313000 (approx) for the 5GS/s 500MHz version with 4x 500MHz probes pricing is done this way as 1GHz probes are of the order of =A31400 = each!!! current exchange rate is about US$1.4 to =A31, making it nearly = US$23,000 for the 1GHz version. Must admit it did cause the mouth to = water a bit.=20 Pity it cannot probe inside that PIC chip.... -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
