<div>It's certainly an ok scope if you already have one. But for those who don't - I hardly ever see them on ebay used, and the price for a new one, compared to the bang for buck factor of the Rigol ds1054z, it would just hurt to see anyone spending the money for that old thing which seems almost toy-ish compared to the newer one. It's 3/4 the price, ugh!<br/>

I'm mostly in the same boat. Have a cheapo Rigol (the venerable DS1052E) which is enough for my extremely minimal level of design/build talent.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">I also bought a LeCroy 4-channel/400Mhz scope (9314AM) a bit later because it had nicer controls than the Rigol and a bigger (though not colour) screen. Cheap disposal from a university lab. Never got around to buying more probes though, so I'm still limited to two channels. The LeCroy is from the early days of digital scopes, and it really shows. Not the snappiest user interface out there, for sure. Still a lovely old thing to use, though, and apparently built like a tank.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">While contemplating the LeCroy today I found this video which illustrates some of its neat math capabilities. I don't know how much of this other digital scopes can do (probably most or all though?) but it was interesting to this newbie, anyway:</div>
