I am looking at buying either a new outboard PC Scope or a used Tek digital storage scope. I am intending to use the scope to trap transient waveforms in (slow) digital circuits and automotive analog circuits.
I am having a hard time finding out some details on the Tek 2230 or
2232 scopes, and would like some opinions.
- are these OK DSO scopes in the 0-700 price range?
- do they all have RS232 ports or was that an option?
- how can I download the captured data to my PC?
- do they do FFT? Or can I cheaply do this on my PC - with what software?
Finally, I am looking at a 10bit 2 channel 5Mhz outboard PC Scope for $900. Is this a better way to go?
Thanks for any help.
