So I sent it again to my manager. 1st option: Lecroy Waverunner 7100A 2nd option: Tektronix DPS7104 3rd option: Agilent DSO8104A He chosed the 3rd option but add the digital option and it is the MSO8104A. This year hopefully we can get the 1st option. Xiaofan -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
