While there has been a fair few recommendations for the Agilent models, I have a Tek TDS3000 series that I really like, but it is a DSO, not a mixed mode unit. Highly portable, large colour screen, and a number of interface options for remote control/download, including 10/100 Ethernet. If you get the 4 channel version then you get the FFT and Trigger modules thrown in as well, but you do away with a dedicated external trigger input. Can be run from battery, but if not using a battery then there is a tray for probes and power cord to occupy the same space. Mine cost GBP5k for a 300MHz 4 channel version, which would work out to something horrendous in US$, but then the UK is not known as "Rip Off Britain" for nothing (taxes and duties knobble everything). -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
