From: Talal Itani on 21 Jun 2008 02:19 Hello, My boss asked me to evaluate oscilloscopes and to recommend one. I know Tektronix and LeCroy. Which is better? Are they any others? Ideally, we would get a 4-channel scope at 300 MHz, with a 5 million sample record length. Thanks for your advise. T.I.

Some scope companies have local resellers, which can demonstrate their products at your workplace and even lend you a scope for some days, so you can evaluate it yourself, if it fits your needs. -- Frank Buss, fb(a)frank-buss.de http://www.frank-buss.de, http://www.it4-systems.de

Find a broker, and then pick brands from that. eg http://www.teknetelectronics.com/Search.asp?p_Var1=Oscilloscope&F=C -jg

Agilent is the other "big one". In fact Tektronix and Algilent are the "big two" brands, Lecroy has always come third. Lecroy have a bad rep for being hard to drive, the newer ones are better though. IMO the Agilent's are the easiest and nicest to drive. The Agilent DSO6034A suits your requirement: http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?nid=-536902766.536905498.00&cc=US&lc=eng 300MHz, 8Mpoint memory, 4 channel A very very nice scope. You'll need more specific requirements than that to compare scopes in this category. Any specific uses in mind? e.g. do you need mixed signal analysis?, high speed serial protocol analysis?, what sample rate? Dave.
