Great for jobs when you need to make floating measurements.

This is a surprisingly well-featured mini scope. I get along fine with my bench-top scope for most applications, but occasionally I need to float my scope to measure analog signals that are not referenced to ground while measuring TTL signals. I just could not justify spending a lot for another scope just to decouple from earth ground; this miniDSO is perfect for the job and at the right price-point. The ability to take screen captures and download them to your PC makes reporting simple. It does take an hour or two to get used to the interface. Once you get used to the interface I found it very smooth and quick to make my measurements and then save the settings. The miniDSO is a a tool that pays for itself in a few hours. I especially found the miniDSO very useful when I bought the "TopStilwell Universal Black Solid Aluminum Desktop Stand," also at Amazon (see the photos). This stand can be bent upward slightly to display the scope on my electronics bench and still allows perfect and stable access to all of the control buttons.
