Yes...yes... that's why you shoved aside my example concerning modern PCs and HD TVs...groepaz wrote:sure you do - because you are doing non beginner stuff with it.Don't get me wrong, it's fine to be nostalgic every once in awhile but when you're familiar with newer, inexpensive digital scopes and use them frequently, you tend to find old analog scopes just cumbersome.

Be normal.
Re: Need advice on Oscilloscope probes
no, i did that because it doesnt make a lot of sense. someone who upgrades from a CRT to HDTV can immediately use it and enjoy the benefits. however, as said before, thats not quite the case for a beginner starting to use a scope. there is little to no benefit for him that all those advanced features exists, and he wouldnt be able to use them either.
I'm just a Software Guy who has no Idea how the Hardware works. Don't listen to me.

More sophisticated doesn't mean more complicated.

If you also offer Sauerbraten I might move in permanently! Then I'd go visit Horst Luening and stock up on the essentials...

Well, I guess that's an advantage of a DSO, there's less to eat. I don't think you'd make your way through my Tektronix 547. Maybe if I took out the plugin?eslapion wrote: Whoa... I can't eat my scope for breakfast, now can I ???

Well, you're in luck! That just requires a short trip to my other base in Cologne. You know though, that Echter Rheinischer Sauerbraten is made from horse meat?Gyro Gearloose wrote:If you also offer Sauerbraten I might move in permanently!

Here in Bavaria, Horst Lüning lives just around the corner. We could take a Lagavulin 16 as provision for the journey to the Rhineland, after taking a thorough look at his other enterprises.
