Like most others, the favorite is the one I use! So we are all biased by definition, and I
have an HP 1670G. In general I?d go straight to Tek for vintage scopes and HP for vintage
LAs, and be very somewhat leery about doing the opposite... I chose it because it is
small and portable, has a boatload of channels, the pattern generator, LCD color screen,
integrated keyboard, and mine had the 2M deep memory option (important). And I collect HP
instruments, so it fits right in. Rarer, more recent and expensive (but still very
affordable) than the dirt cheap CRT based 16xx series - has a hard disk and the memory
humph. I don?t use it often, but when I do it?s critical. It saved me on two projects so
far, developing my HP 7970 tape HP?IB driver and repairing my Documation card reader (all
documented on my YouTube videos if you want to get a feel for it). The one downside is the
lack of a touchscreen, you need a mouse and a lot of clicking around. The 15000/16000
series is better for that but a much larger unit, it would be a step up though. If you
want to save $ go in the other direction for the B&W 16xx series. At their current
price points, any of them is an absolute steal compared to what they can do for you, and
they are all perfectly usable. Good time to buy one.
