Tek runs Java VM on their scope? That could be slow and irresponsive. Seems like the good deal for that MSO3014 goes away.
The TEK 3000 series does not run windows, and the interface is quite snappy. It's a real fine scope.
I'll do a bit of research on this one, I can get a good deal, it has 16 digital, 4 analog, LAN, video out; pretty much anything I want.
A close call would be the Agilent DSOX2014A but it's 2000X series, no digital inputs and every option costs a small fortune? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Those are all within my budget, took me a bit to build the list
