I was lucky enough to connect with Analog arts for their low cost tools that are good in early testing and design. Having too many instruments is always a problem and the Swiss arm knife of instruments is what I found here.
I am getting the first version of their brand new 8 in 1 tool which has
Dual Scope
Arbitrary Waveform generator
Logic Analyzer
Phase and frequency analyzer (single freq)
Spectrum Analyzer
Data Recorder
Pattern Generator
Frequency and Phase response recorder - This is new.
The units measure and generate into the Gigahertz although there are limitations as you get up there. For practical purposed without having to think about it, consider 100 MHz bandwidth which is excellent for the price and for general use.
I have been playing with the older SL987 ($820) for while but will report on the new SF8800 ($920) to be introduced over the weekend. The SL907 is only $300 and limited to about 20 MHz instead of 100 MHz.
USB Oscilloscope - Spectrum Analyzer | Analog Arts is the website.
Although this seems like a simple tool, here is a list of waveforms you can generate at a click, well maybe 2 clicks, in addition to any custom waveform.
Sine, Square, Ramp - Triangle, Falling, Rising, Noise, AM, FM, Sweep, Burst, Digital, ASK, FSK, PSK, Pulse, Sinc, Exponential.
This little gizmo is chock full of features.
More to come when I get the new unit.

and may some more bit's on the ADC too..
