Hi
I am using this exact model. It is wonderful piece of equipment and I would
suggest you to go for it. t has scope + spectrum analyzer + transient
recorder. It also let's you bring your data into excel and allows you to
take screenshots.
you may be able to use attenuation probes when it comes to measuring large
voltages. at $300 it is a steal I would suggest go for it.
Regards
Gaurav

There is a PC based scope - USB interfaced, that I have been
eyeballing. It isn't cheap, around $300.00, but it is dual channel
and rated up to 60 Mhz which should be fine for me.
The real kicker that I am liking about the PC scopes is recording.
For some reason, I think that is important, not sure why, but I do ;-

The drawback is that voltage limit though. While most everything I
check is 5~12 volts, I have checked the output of my Stepper Driver
and that is at 41 volts.
This is the one that is being considered
A second-hand analogue scope would be about the same price and would
be a
lot more useful.

Exactly right! I bought a used Tektronix 485 via eBay for less money
than that and it has 350 MHz of bandwidth. No storage, no recording,
just a plain, ordinary, analog scope. But it's what I have always wanted.
