It comes with trial computer interface software that allows total
control from a computer, but you can also just hook a printer to it and
do screen prints directly. It will also output in several file formats
that I suppose a computer could grab via the serial port. Haven't
tried doing that. Know the printer function works, though and the
trial software (doesn't have everything enabled) seems to work.<br>

Re: [techtoolslist] DSO recommendations</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Only gotcha about DSOs are they suck as XY displays. You'll want to
hang on to the old scope for use a a vector display if you fix vector
games.<br>
<br>
That being said, a good basic (and extremely portable) scope is the
Tektronix TDS-220 with the optional communications pack (RS-232,
IEEE-488, and parallel). Any of their other scopes are a step up from
that, but may NOT have the communications you need.<br>

I'd really like to do is to have the capability to capture waveforms
and transfer them to my PC. I'm just starting to look at the various
options, and it looks like the HP54600 might be a good choice. Lately
they've seemed a little pricey on eBay. I do like the Tek name brand,
so I wouldn't be adverse to a Tek DSO, I think the TDS is the right
model line?</font></div>

what to get? It's important for me to have the capability to transfer
the images to my PC, but I don't think I need anything faster than
100MHz. In fact, the less expensive the better because I do find that I
only use my scope 25% of the time. The rest of the time I get the
information I need from my probe and test scripts. </font></div>
