I am thinking about buying a DSO, something like the Rigol DS1052E. What sampling rate would I need to be able to work on classic arcade PCB's and Monitors ?
I read in other forums that I should have a sapling rate that is at least 10 times the frequency of the wave form that I am cappturing.
If an analog 20MHz scope would be enough for 99% of arcade repairs, then I could use a DSO with 200 Ms/s ?
Is that a correct statement ?
Thanks for any advice that can be given. I know many answers will be get an analog scope, I already have a two channel 60MHz one already. I want the storage capabilities and an easy way to interface my computer so I can post nice pictures in forums asking for help.
