I have the SDS7102V. It works fine for me but it's the only oscilloscope I have ever owned so I couldn't tell you if its better than the others or not.
I think it looks awesome. Better than the analog scopes I had a long time ago. The scope technology has exploded in recent years. Doesn't sound like you're unhappy with it.
Do you need more sample chips? i am going to get 3 pieces and let them send to you from zefir.
I've had several people say they'll send some. I don't seem to have much on the zefir thread (but Thank You turtle83!), so Yes, it will be better to have too many, or any, than none show up.
My wife wants me to finish building the house (no floor or ceiling)
Mind blown.
I know. I have stacks of ceramic tiles here. Some big 80cmx80cm ones for the living room, and small 30cm black ones for the kitchen. We've been waiting two months for the tile guy to actually come and lay tiles... He said "after SongKran" (which is mid-April), but we thought he meant right after.
