I've seen an ad some weeks ago on a brazilian magazine and downloaded some PDFs. The HM407 seens to be very good and it's price (although high, about US$1600 here) isn't so prohibitive. Do you know this scope? How does it compares to the HM1507? Would an hybrid osciloscope be good to capture long serial data streams?
