Great scope

5.0

I've been very impressed so far. I'm going through EE course, and I needed a scope that can analyze multiple fast signals and perform basic math functions. Now, truth be told, there are plenty of cheaper scopes that can do that, but I wanted something proven, reliable and with fast interface. I'm a programmer by trade and user interface is one of my pet peeves. This scope comes with excellent boot up time, great accuracy, I2C and other serial decoding features (tested, quick access). The only thing I didn't like is slow screen response. But you can see how this is splitting hair. I share the Apple philosophy on interface: all features should be accessible within 3 user actions. In this regard, this scope is excellent. Play with it, learn it, until it becomes intuitive. Once you memorize what all the knobs do, you can get your analysis down to seconds. I haven't tested CSV export or LAN capability yet. But the fact that you can save the data externally opens a huge opportunity for analysis and automation using Python.
