How to resolve AdBlock issue? 
In addition to our product overview of low-end USB oscilloscopes this overviews looks at products with a minimum bandwidth of 500MHz. Compared to the low-end segment only a few products and manufacturers are left. Some of the listed USB PC scopes offer additional features such as arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), FFT or spectrum analyzer.
Please do not compare only hardware features but also the software. The software plays an important role in the overall functionality and usability of an USB oscilloscopes. Unfortunately software is difficult to be expressed in hard figures and therefore difficult to compare.
