A few buddies and I have decided to start working on a startup together, and we've reached the point where we are ready to start investing in some prototyping equipment. The relevant device is an EEG, but we've hit a bit of a snag because we're a tad overwhelmed by the options available for electrical equipment testing.
We are trying to order an Oscilloscope for testing out the components of our prototype, and there is quite a range available. We're looking for something that can measure accurately 0-50Hz Signals, but at 0-200MicroVolts.
From what I've gathered, the 0-50Hz thing isn't a problem, but the scale of microvolts certainly could be...
What oscilloscopes could do this reliably, and still provide a price that won't make our college loans hurt exponentially?
We were also looking into potential circuit simulators, Multisim being a strong candidate of choice. Though we don't know whether getting a full circuit simulator (and the millions of different editions they offer at millions of different prices) will be more cost/time efficient rather than ordering the components themselves and testing them by hand (since EEG components are pretty cheap for the most part, vs the simulator being at LEAST a few hundred dollars).
Thanks for the help!
