Hi - I'm looking at getting an oscilloscope for myself. Prices range
drastically for oscilloscopes - from nearly free for 70s era
equipment, to tens of thousands of dollars for really nice stuff.
The name brands (Tek, Agilent, etc.) seem to (not surprisingly)
always
be the most expensive. Are they really that much better? I mean, for
example, I ran into this scope:
http://www.tequipment.net/OWONEDU5022.html (25MHz, color LCD, USB,
battery powered, 2 channels, $368). An
equivalent scope from a better known brand would I suspect be well
over a thousand dollars.
Are the name brands worth the cost? Do you get what you pay for?
Most ppl will tell you that Tek scopes are simply very good. Well
designed, reliable, durable, accurate, good facilities etc....
The older HPs seem to be popular too.
Then again it all depends on what you need !
Well he wants opinions. You should tell him yours. :-)
I have a Tek 465B. An old classic.
IIRC, you didn't like the Tek DSO you've been working with.
Not for what I'm doing with it right now. I'm sure it would be great for other
stuff. That's why I asked him to elaborate.
