<DIV><BR></DIV>Only gotcha about DSOs are they suck as XY displays.
You'll want to hang on to the old scope for use a a vector display if you fix
vector games.<BR><BR>That being said, a good basic (and extremely portable)
scope is the Tektronix TDS-220 with the optional communications pack (RS-232,
IEEE-488, and parallel). Any of their other scopes are a step up from
that, but may NOT have the communications you need.<BR><BR><BR>James Bright

<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.) 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 seemed a little
pricey on eBay. I do like the Tek name brand, so I wouldn't be adverse to
a Tek DSO, I think the TDS is the right model line?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, any recommendations on what to
get? It's important 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. </FONT></DIV>
