Hi,
I am currenting looking for an affordable digital oscilloscope for my home electronics lab. I have been looking around and it appears I will be spending around $1000 - $2000 in total (oscilliscop + accessories).
Some of the features I am looking for are:
2 or more channels.
Isolated channels cappable of at least +/- 700 V Common mode range.
At least 25 MHz Bandwidth.
Able to record at high sampling rate. I use a fluke at work that has a high sampling rate in scope mode but a very poor rate in record mode. So that is something I am looking out for.
A long recording memory is desired, like around a million samples, but I will probably have to settle for around 10,000 samples based on what I am seeing.
As for the isolated channels I will probably have to get a scope with grounded channels and use differential probes. I would appreciate any recommendations on the probes as they are currently looking like they will be the most expensive part.
I would like a benchtop or handheld oscilloscope but I am willing to settle for a PC one. One setup I am considering is a PicoScope 2205 with TA041, TA057 probes.
Some of the brands I have been looking at are Owon, Instek and Rigol.
I have been looking at www.tequipment.net, they seem to have good prices and stock. Does anyone have any experience buying from them or recommend somewhere else?
Basically I am looking to hear from anyone that has any comments or testimonials from there own purchases of related oscilliscopes or brands.
Thanks,
Dan
