Scopes

[Elven Commander]

  Hi,

  I was wondering has anyone out there has used both the digital and analog scopes and function generators?? What do you prefer?
 
  I have been looking at getting a digital scope, as they are cheaper and the ability to save and print your findings seems neat.  It also seems portable which could be very handy.  I just don't want to make an investment of this calibre for something i've never used or known anyone to use them.

  Thanks

Yes, please do tell the digital scope thats cheaper with all those features you mentioned. I'm very curious to get my hands on it.

I used a Goldstar CRT scope for years, and then changed to an Tektronix LCD. The CRT is clearer, and there's something about analogue that's just plain sweet. However, now I'm used to the digital scope, I wouldn't go back for all the money in the world. It's just great.

Of course, if you really did offer me all the money in the world, I would ditch my Tektronix in the blink of an eye.
