My Hantek can't measure frequency response (or bode plot), so I made a script that does. I had to learn some Python to do it. Is that what you mean? ;) |

Modern jellybean logic is much faster than that, and important features on the waveforms will simply be invisible. --- End quote --- You keep repeating this but in the real world you rarely run into situations where you need more than 100MHz. --- End quote --- You keep failing to understand the only reason for needing a scope for digital logic is to ensure signal integrity. Once that is ensured, flip to digital domain tools. --- End quote --- I understand what I need to do my daily job just fine. And what you call digital domain tools have been integrated into DSOs a very long time ago. The first ones from HP where discontinued more than 20 years ago. If you think a DSO is not good at decoding, then I strongly suggest to get a modern day DSO from a decent brand and give that a spin. You'll be in for a pleasant surprise. There is no way I'm going to mess around with a clunky USB device. |

I'm certainly not going to fork out £10k (to invent a figure) for something I can achieve for £500! |

There are quite a few assumptions about what the OP want/needs in this thread. I'll admit that I made the assumption that he wanted something very inexpensive that he could "learn the ropes" of an oscilloscope on. Not something that would be intended to be the last scope bought. That's often the approach I take with new tools - it gives the opportunity to figure out what I really need/want in a tool before spending the usually high price for a quality item. Or if I need the high priced item at all. But I could certainly be wrong about what the OP is looking for. Anyway, the OP has not responded to this thread since the first post; I think I'll wait for that before posting here further. |
