New oscilloscope - need >= 1M sample buffer

[Thomas Gunnarsrud]

Hi!

Our company wants to buy more oscilloscopes, we have for instance the
Agilent 54622A and 54624A which are very nice with the so called "Mega Zoom"
functionality (4MB I think).

But, as I look around for options to these I find no one in the same price
range or hopefully less that offers a big enough sample buffer. How come?
Ram is cheap this days, and 4MB is not much.

Does anyone know of oscilloscopes that offer similar zoom features as the
Agilents? 100Mhz 2 or 4 channels. We're looking for something up to $3000 or
so but preferably up to $2000.

Thanks for your input!

DRAM is cheap. Not SRAM or semicustom SOC SRAM.

Looks at Lecroy : I have a quite old 9350L, and it was already equipped with
a 4Mpt buffer...
