Re:Tektronix bread and butter (Score 1)

I'll start with the open admission that I've worked on Tektronix scope platforms; in fact, i designed & implemented most of the embedded math+measurement code that runs on the high-end real-time & sampling scopes Tektronix has shipped in the past decade... and then i got laid off. UI (user interface) - I'd rank LeCroy as #1, Agilent as #2, & Tektronix (a distant) #3 PI- (programmatic interface) - I'd go with Agilent as #1; Tek vs LeCroy is a wash. Accuracy/fidelity - well, i'd go with Tektronix; pictures may not be as pretty, user interface may not be intuitive (it assumes the user actually knows what they want), but the underlying hardware yields real::good data. My biased opinion
