Oscilloscopes havedropped in price and improved in performance to an almost redicilous degree in the last 10 to 15 years.
If you buy a Rigol / Siglent scope for 1/4 of the money you seem to be willing to spend now, you will still have much more oscilloscope than you will need for years to come.
Do the Tek and R&S come with software & hardware for the Logic analyser channels?
Take for example a look at the Siglent SDS1104X
https://www.batronix.com/shop/oscilloscopes/Siglent-SDS1104X-E.htmlFor EUR500 you have a 4 channel scope (EUR720 for 200MHz) with a bunch of serial protocols already built in.
But for the full 16 channel Logic Analyser you have to add Hardware & software options for another EUR450.
Apart from an oscilloscope, the (extemely cheap) LA's from Ali / Ebay are wonderfull.
Even EUR 5 hardware (Search for "24Mhz 8ch") is plenty fast for working with AVR's, and if you combine it with the excellent open source Sigrok / Pulseview software you get a bunch of advantages you do not have on a Mixed signal scope. And for a bit more money you can plug more capable hardware into Pulseview.
- A buckload of decoders for different protocols. ( 40 or so at the moment).
- Larger screen, which is a real plus for LA software.
- Ability to add / tweak your own protocol decoders.
( A decoder is typically only a few pages of Python script).
- Direct logging to your PC for further analysis.
I would not recommend a PC based oscilloscope, because a panel with buttons is a much better user interface for an oscilloscope. But this is not true for a Logic Analyser. Keyboard + Mouse + PC monitor is an excellent UI for a LA.
In my opinion such a LA should be included in every beginner lab. Prices are so low it is really a no-brainer and you will be amazed what you can do with it.
Also, if you want / need to upgrade after 5 to 10 years you have a much better idea of what your real needs are, and you will then have better hardware for the same price.
As "kinda begginer" you also always have the risk of doing someting really stupid with your oscilloscope and blow up a front end or similar.
Even an EUR400 Siglent SDS1202X-E is probably already more scope than you will need for years to come, and you can always sell it if you feel the need for a better scope.
