Kain Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 It's been a while for me walking arround and asking to use scopes so I finally decided to buy one, not to mention that I got some cash specifically to buy a scope. Now, the 2 models that I looked at and that I can afford (digital ones) are the Tektronix TDS210 Digital Oscilloscope and Instek GDS-806S 60MHzDigital Storage Oscilloscope. I know that Tektronix is pretty good company indeed, but sometimes they tend to be quite pricy. Those 2 scopes I could buy on the same price - $650, but i don't know which one i should choose. What would you advise me? And please, tell me why I would choose one instead of the other? In other words I need to know the advantages and disadvantages of each model.

Kain Posted May 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Ok, it seems I will have to answer myself. I would take the Tektronix because it does 1Gs/s up to 60MHz on each channel vs. the other one which is capable of only 100Ms/s on each channel. The Tektronix has some additional functions that will come up handy too. Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hello Kain,I just now noticed your post, but I would have also suggested the Tektronix scope. I have used them for years and they are very reliable even if there were no additional features.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
