Tektronix has inferior sample memory depth and the TDS210/220 series is prone to 40/80kHz noise, probably from its backlight inverter. IMHO a disgrace to Tektronix. There was also some kind of safety recall because of a sub-par ground connection. You might want to check that.

Mine's a fairly late model TDS220 and was produced well after the
range that was affected by the power supply recall -- thanks for the
tip, though! It's also quiet with respect to the inverter noise so I
don't really have any excuses to ditch it... ;-)


Then it should be ok. Except that the ones I used had no connectivity, I had to snap digicam pictures. I did use them for lots of serial bus debugging though and they performed those jobs nicely.
