Hi Bob,



Just wondering what you think of the 'scope after a few months?



Thanks, Joe

 A few days ago I mentioned an oscilloscope being offered by

 Saelig at:

 

 http://saelig.com/

 

 I just received the one I had on order. It's a rough clone

 of the Tektronix TDS200 series scopes. Only 25 Mhz but it's

 in color. Comes with two probes ($50 value alone). The USB

 cable and attending software lets you dump both image and

 tabular data to a computer. Here's the test setup on my

 bench.

 Once the data has been dumped to the computer it can be manipulated

 in a variety of ways including print to hard copy. Haven't had

 occasion to do any serious measurements but I can say that for

 $299, it's a hell-of-a-buy.

 

 I'm going to use it as my 'beater' scope to drag around

 for looking into problems on airplanes and save my Tek

 for less stressful bench work.

   I've only used it a few times for real (other

   than playing) but so far, it performs as advertised.

   For a two channel, digital storage scope in color,

   the $399 regular selling price is an excellent value.

Thanks Bob,



We're thinking of getting some of these where I work for field techs.

Might get one to try out... Lots cheaper than the Teks, or the Fluke

196c that I have :}

   Depending on your budget, the OWON may be an excellent

   option. Don't forget ebay either. I have some folks at

   RAC and their kids who take Saturday morning classes

   I've taught out at WSU. A 'scope is one of those dead-nuts-

   simple ways to help people visualize the dynamics of

   circuit operation. I've been able to pick up perfectly

   serviceable 'scopes off ebay and fit them with new

   probes for under $150 total. I've acquired the occasional

   really nice one for under $250.



   While a 'scope is generally way down on the list of

   tools for the hobbyist, I've found it useful to push

   for early acquisition. With access to the 'scope,

   some of these kids are acquiring a hands-on, real-time

   visualization of circuit dynamics They're getting an

   introduction to range and domain graphical analysis

   even before they take algebra or calculus.



   When their teachers throw those concepts up on the

   board in coming years, the kids with the 'scopes will

   have an immediate and solid understand of the concepts

   and the utility they offer.
