User Interface of Major Oscilliscope Brands?

Posted by timothy on from the dots-and-squiggles dept.

teddaw152 writes "I've been tasked with ordering an oscilloscope and a logic analyzer for use in a university physics lab, and have found several models that will likely suit our technical needs from the major manufacturers (Agilent, Tektronix, and LeCroy). However, I personally have only used legacy HP scopes, and thus I have no idea what modern features are must haves and which brand's user interface is the most intuitive. Is there anyone out there that has used modern Tektronix/Agilent/LeCroy scopes side by side and can comment on their thoughts from the purely subjective side?"

    Any recommendations here for a new one within the budget of a home hobbiest?

    Is that like "House Beautiful"?

    My home is quite hobby.

    Yeah, well my home is hobbier!

    Yeah, well my home is the hobbiest of all!

    I think you're looking for "hobbyist".

    Over here in Jerckwater, Cockistlov, I put up my chub and they just laugh. I thought higher power means more laddies? All I get over in Southwest District, Soviet America is a bunch of fat-ass lazy jibber-jabber old men that use HAM Radios to talk about where they can buy their HAM Radios. It's self defeating, like giving AOL'ers a book of second-class postage stamps and their stationary to right "lol" back and forth to eachother; but instead they get instant access with NNTP and eMail. HAM Radio operators are just a bunch of hyperactive AOL'ers, and they use technique to eschew the reason why they hold discussion on such a medium.
