It's about ADDING a USB scope to the toolkit for portability/datalogging etc. |

Hello, PicoScope 6 is far more stable. Best regards egonotto PS. For audio work perhaps the PicoScope® 4262 is a good choice |

Resolution doesn't matter if the program can't run more than 10 minutes without a crash |

@oz2cpu: Do you really have to keep ramming your personal (and completely non-specific) opinion on USB test gear down peoples' throats? We get that you don't like them, we don't need constant reminders. Edit: Emoticon removed. |
