Hi all, The head of the research group I work in at Cornell asked me to select some scopes for us. We have a good relationship with Agilent, so we may be able to get some kind of a deal from them. We are probably willing to go as high as $5k, although I'd appreciate suggestions even higher or lower than this. What would you recommend? Ideally, I'd like to select the best digital scope AND the best analog scope I could, although I realize that analog scopes are becoming rarer. What about the new mixed-mode scopes (MSO in Agilent/HP parlance and DRO in Tek speak)? Are they as good as/ better than separate DSO and analog scopes? As for what we would use them for, we do all kinds of work, such as motor control, microcontroller circuits, DSP, a little RF. Pretty much the gamut of stuff which gets discussed on the list (we are officially a dynamics and control group, working mostly on autonomous vehicles).
