<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been using a Tek 465 for a while. (I use my
scope fairly regularly, but I do tend to work off my Fluke 9010 more.)&nbsp; I
am thinking of getting a digital scope, and what I'd really like to do is to
have the capability to capture waveforms and transfer them to my PC. I'm just
starting to look at the various options, and it looks like the HP54600 might be
a good choice. Lately they've&nbsp;seemed a little pricey on eBay. I do like the
Tek name brand, so I wouldn't be adverse to a&nbsp;Tek DSO,&nbsp;I think the TDS
is the right model line?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway,&nbsp;any recommendations on what to get?
It's important&nbsp;for me to have the capability to transfer the images to my
PC, but I don't think I need anything faster than 100MHz. In fact, the less
expensive the better because I do find that I only use my scope 25% of the time.
The rest of the time I get the information I need from my probe and test
scripts.&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
