I have been using the SX chip a lot now and I have been looking at the Propeller for high level controller in bigger projects to talk to SX chips for low level tasks.  I know this is a little off track for this forum, but what I want to know with the 2 chips I been working with.. what would a OK size Oscilloscope should I get?  Can I get away with a 60Mhz with 250MSa/s for doing mostly digital work?  Some of my projects I need to start looking at filters and others things to clean up my signals to make it more stable.  I am still new at electric and seem using a scope goes a long way in helping understanding what going on when you have problems.  What is a good size scope for the SX and Propeller work?  I know the SX can run at 50mhz and the Prop at 80mhz but does that really mean I need 3 time that speed to have a good reading?  If i get this right... just about everything you code on the chip need a few steps of code to do anything helpful.  Ex:  Make RB.0 go on and off.  Would take min of 3 ticks.  so would that be 80mhz / 3 = around 27mhz.   So would a 60mhz/ or 100mhz scope be OK for any project with the Prop or SX?  Am i way off or do I have the right idea?   Any help be great.  Trying my best to learn this.  I would love to get the best with many Ghz bandwidth and 5Ga/s but I would have to sell my house!  ;)   So what a good min scope be?
