Hi Josh,

One thing I can recommend against is the Hantek 6022BE USB scope. It
doesn't have triggered sweep. It pretends to, but in reality it samples
in bursts and then tries to find a trigger point in software. That makes
it completely useless for single shot events. Comes with a pair of
decent X1/X10 switchable probes. Evidently their more expensive models
do have real triggering, but are much more expensive. After my
experience with the 6022BE I would never buy anything Hantek ever again.

Best regards, Bob
