Choosing an oscilloscope for a visually impaired electronics hobbyist

<< < (5/5)

Psi:
Probably want to do your research on the LAN/computer control app provided for each scope being considered. 
Often the software is an afterthought and is shit and full of bugs or requires lots of additional software library's to work.

*cough* NI VISA *cough*


A scope with external VGA/DVI/HDMI monitor plug, and a scope that supports a USB mouse/keyboard might be a better option.
Can connect it up to a 42" TV if you had to.  Scopes don't usually run that high resolution so should be huge on a big screen.
Most scopes that have a touchscreen work just fine if you plug a USB kbd/mouse into them.

Kleinstein:
The cheap probes are usually switchable.  If wanted there is the option to glue the switch to a fixed 1:10 mode.

With my cheap Rigol probes, you can just pop out the little protruding slider knob. Then the switch can still be pushed using a small screwdriver or such, in the rare event you want to use it. But is nicely recessed and cannot be moved accidentally.

Lochstreifen:
The picoscope Software uses really tiny fonts that cannot be changed.
There are some screenshots on their web site and you can also download and try the software in demo mode to see whether it works for you.

geggi1:
Most modern scoops have the posibility for remote control.
NI Labview has a hobbyist version for free.
Beeing a programmer you would most likely be able to build a VI making you able to have full controll of your scoop.
