an entry level oscilloscope.
a digital oscilloscope (I think they are referred to as DSO's?) as I have found functions they have to be quite handy (mainly ability to read off peak voltages, periods, etc).
work with various micro controller based projects.
One scope I had in mind was the Rigol DS1052E. It sells for about $550 CDN on ebay. I am not quite sure I could afford +$1000 scopes for brand names such as Tektronix.
Does anyone have experience with Rigol scopes? Or perhaps the DS1052E in particular? Anyone have experience with other similar brands (Owon, etc.)?
