Oscilloscope Question

[NightThumper]

It’s time to upgrade the question is simple:

TEKTRONIX 2465BCT or Rigol DS1104Z-S moving up from a TEK 465

Thanks

What's wrong with the 465?

 

[NightThumper]

Not a thing. Time for a four channel. The TEK 2465BCT moves me to 400MHz. The Rigol would give me four channels same 100MHz

Sounds like you made your mind up on the Rigol.

I'd pick an analogue scope over a digital scope just because they don't lose resolution and are cheaper to buy - IMO.

 

[NightThumper]

Hahaha, kinda leaning in that direction but ah such quality in TEK and more MHz... vs digital/newer technology

 

[Tallman]

I have had only one instance where I needed that many traces synchronized at one time.
I would rather just have two 465's. I do have a Nicolet digital storage scope that I rarely use. The only time I need it is when I'm chasing down a transient voltage spikes. The Nicolet scope is HUGE box that takes a lot of room on my bench.

Just about ready to pull the trigger on the TEK 2465 BCT...appreciate the comments.
