I have been looking at the Tektronix TDS2014C
(100 MHz, 4 Ch, 2 GS/s, TFT DSO) Oscope.
I was initially looking at the Tektronix TDS2004C
(70 MHz, 4 Ch, 1 GS/s, TFT DSO)
For an entry level scope are either of these good pieces of equipment? I will be looking at mostly microcontroller applications with a max frequency of maybe 32-64MHz most likely lower freq tho, some stepper motor control and maybe optical encoders.
Is the extra 300 dollars worth the higher model?
+30mhz bandwidth and double sample rate. also the 100MHz model comes with 200MHZ probes, the 70MHz only comes with 100MHz probes. I have heard that its good to have probes rated double your max bandwidth is that true?
datasheet
Alternate recommendations?
