Hello Guillermo, Joe etc,

isn't a problem for me.

    have you heard about BitScope (www.bitscope.com)? It's a dual-channel
sampling osciloscope with 8 logic inputs.  It's not very expensive as you
can buy the complete assembled kit for US$395.00. Also, you can learn a lot
studing the squematics and the PIC software. Surelly, there'll be some
tricks you'll love and incorporate it on your projects.

    The hardware is very good but there's not a "really pro" software for it
yet. The better one is the Scopal (www.scopal.com).

    However, the guys at BitScope are working on some enhancements and the
new "official" software is comming soon. The demo version on the website is
very impressive.

    You connect it to PC via RS232, not USB, but they're working on a
Network Interface Adaptor!

    There's a users group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bitscope/

    Best regards,

    Brusque
