Hello,

I have had good experience lately with the HP/Agilent Mixed-Signal
"MegaZoom" scope (not sure of the model number). It has 16 digital input
channels and 2 analog input channels. The menus and user interface seemed
nicely set up (I have mainly used analog scopes in the past). I think that
the price falls in the range you mentioned.

Hope this helps,
Andy Meng
