I think I might want a digital scope here.
Okay, I'm getting one!
I found these links on eBay:
- OWON PDS5022S, 25MHz, 6K buffer, $369, Chinese.
- OWON PDS6062T, 100MHz, 6K buffer, $649, Chinese.
- Rigol 5102CAE 100Mhz, 4K buffer, $799, Chinese.
- Welec W2022A, 200MHz, 16K buffer, $674, UK/DE.
All of these units have large, colour LCD displays, two 1X/10X probes, and USB-to-PC connections for printing/analysis. These are modern, lightweight, standalone, digital storage scopes.
The OWON models may have an "
S" or a "
T" suffix on the model number. The "
S" indicates a DSTN LCD, whereas a "
T" means it has the faster/better TFT style of LCD display.
The Welec model includes free DHL delivery in the purchase price. Some OWON sellers also include free (air mail?) shipping in the purchase price, others want $35 extra.
The Welec is also made in 100Mhz, and 4-channel versions, though I didn't see any of those actually offered for sale anywhere.
I've ordered the
Welec W2022A unit for my use here -- 200Mhz (1Gs/sec) should be good enough bandwidth for finding glitches and the like.
Cheers
