Hello,
please someone give me advice for buying a 4/16ch MSO for maximum 1100 US$ (1000 EURO).
- no PC/USB type oscilloscope
- 70/100 MHz analog BW (upgradeability preferred)
- 4 analog channels (seperate knobs per channel preferred, not like LeCroy - one set of knobs for all channels)
- upgradeability "MSO ready" to 16 digital channels usable simultaneously to the 4 analog channels
- serial decoding (and triggering) for analog and digital channels (I²C, RS232, SPI, ...)
- maybe CAN decoding and triggering upgradability
- maybe USB/2/3 decoding and triggering upgradability
- availability from european/german distributor (warranty)
I'd prefer devices, that can be bought in a cheaper "base" version, and upgraded later by software, and of course especially those, you can get working "hacks" for upgrading.
Because of maximum price of 1100 US$ (1000 EURO) I think, only chinese makers will be left over...
What do you think, is chinese stuff usable or just cheap crap that isn't worth the money?
