All,

I need an oscilloscope to read data from the head of a dard drive, can you recomend the best model for this?

Thanks

Hi and thank you for your post.

Our oscilloscopes range from 3MS/s to 1GS/s, generally we say if you have a square waveform you would need to sample 10 times quicker then that, i.e. 10kHz you would need to sample 100KS/s. So it depends on how fast the signal is for a specification of our products please have a look at the link below:

Hope this helps.

Which model would suit my XP PC/Laptop to check for af sine wave 1kHz to 20 kHz and FM discriminator/IF frequenccies 10 to 11 MHz and rf FM at 28Mhz

Hi and thank you for your post.

The 5203/4 have the analogue bandwidth and a high enough sample rate to give you a good represenation of those high frequencies.
