[sdiy] Agilent Scopes

[David]

Thanks for the info Achim.

Yes, I am getting probes with it, the ones with which it came.

HP makes good equipment, which makes me feel pretty good about the deal.

-- Agilent is the re-branded HP test instrument business.  Make sure to
check

test
-- instruments usually have an option list longer than your arm and you
really

-- option (i.e. the ASIC is always the same, but some functions are non-
-- operational until you buy the license).  I am not sure about the
segmented
-- memory option and the bandwidth upgrades since we don't have that
particular
-- scope in the lab, but I believe they are also licenses (although re-
-- calibration may be required).  Do you get probes with the scope?  You
will
-- want at least a pair of 1:1 and a pair of 10:1 probes.
