Buying a scope

carbon dude oxide:
Hello, i am planning on getting a scope for myself but i am tied between either getting a ds1000E or a ds1000B

Reason being is that the ds1000e has quite high reviews here but i do alot of 4-bit binary debugging so having 4 chanels would be very usefull as currently i use a multimeter to do the job :)

What are other peoples thoughs?

mazurov:
A dedicated PC-based logic analyzer is many times more useful for digital debugging and often much cheaper too. This is what I'm using -> http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Open_Bench_Logic_Sniffer

Hydrawerk:
I would choose the DS1000B because it has a better front panel. It has knob for each channel. On the other hand, it has short memory, probably only 8kpoints per channel.

carbon dude oxide:
Could you explain kpoints per second please

k = kilo = 1000;

kpoints = kilopoints = 1000 points;

'points' It's a measure for a scope's sample memory.
