So, finally it's time to look for a new DSO. Except Newark,
TestEquipmentDepot and Tequipment I haven't found a lot of major dealers
for new scopes and other test equipment. To my surprise I could not find
regular digital scopes at Digikey, Mouser or ham shops like AES. Are
there other major ones? Where do you typically buy?
I don't need it often so I wanted to stay under $2k. Must be 1Gs/sec
single-shot or more, 200MHz BW, plus a USB connection of some kind, and
not too heavy. So far I found:
Agilent DSO3202, pretty nice features but only 4k memory.
Tektronix TDS2022, only a paltry 2.5K memory.
Instek GDS-2202, 25K memory, under $1500.
My favorite from a feature point of view is the Hameg HM2008. A stunning
megabytes deep buffer, analog portion with 14kV tube, meaning you get a
real analog scope along with it. But OTOH due to the high Euro it's
around $2500. That would be a bit much but ok. However, its size and
weight really wouldn't work, it's basically a full size big scope.
This is a bit above your price range...

but the fully isolated inputs and trigger are fabulous for stuff like
power supplies, motion control, all that off-ground stuff. You just
clip the probe grounds *anywhere*
