Talal
You are running around like a headless chook!
Do you even *know* the budget your company has set for you to buy this
oscilloscope/logic analyser?
You *need* to know that, so find out and then tell us so we can help you.
You said your boss asked you to buy this scope. Does he/she have *any* idea
of the specs required, or are you free to suggest something yourself ?
Yes, Rigol are pretty good as far as a low end Chinese designed and made
scope goes. Agilent rebadge them under their own brand name (3000 series),
so they must be pretty confident in the design and manufacture quality plus
the firmware stability.

Yes, I am running like a headless chook, untill I know what we need, what is
out there, what our budget is. So, it is ok to ask all sorts of questions,
even before knowing what we really need.
Are Rigol much cheaper than the brand names?

Talal,
Are you doing any research on your own or are you just being lazy? You're
not going to get much help if you just post whatever comes into your head.

Well, my friend, sure, I can find the information elsewhere, on google, in
the library, at work. Yet I love to post messages and hear from experts,
and most are eager to help. So, why not!

Fair enough, I know what it's like not being able to get management to
commit to anything!
I've lot count of the number of times they agree "we need one of
these" and then I get a quote and they say there is no budget for it.
Management will happily blow $100,000 on some production jig, but
won't fork out for a $50 multimeter.
In this case its often best to shoot for low price, you stand a better
chance of at least getting something for your lab!
> Are Rigol much cheaper than the brand names?
Yes.
Rigol and Instek(Goodwill) are the two big "cheap professional"
brands.
You get a lot of value for your dollar with those brands. Shop around
too, prices vary. Use Froogle (http://www.google.com/products) to find
comparative prices.
The exact same Rigol scope is more expensive when you buy it from
Agilent.
Dave.

One short cut for finding information from different manufacturers of
logic analyzers and storage scopes is Ebay. Enter a phrase like logic
analyzer in the search field. You will then get a lot of hits and a
surprising amount of information about each product offered.
