Re: pc based ocilloscope

useable ones are pretty damned expensive - you may be better looking at a whole scope rather than a digitiser.

Re: pc based ocilloscope

the Tenma one is 20MHz, that's as low as anybody should ever go.
it's also a trading name - i would rather know who actually makes it so a manual can be found.
the Hitachi is 15MHz - so no.
the 3rd item number comes up blank for me!

cant you find a cheap 30-50MHz Hameg or Tektronix for those type of prices?

a small gamble there - dont know what the shipping would be though.
ebay only says it's $127 to Europe

Re: pc based ocilloscope

I'd also recommend looking for a used standalone 'scope. I've used a couple cheap USB ones and I'd not really recommend them for anything serious.

I'd watch ebay and check out your local craigslist\alternatives. Some good stuff shows up here time to time, no telling what elsewhere might have.
