The GW Instek GDS-912 is a budget, 8-bit, high-speed, 2-channel oscilloscope. The bandwidth of this scope is 100MHz and each channel has a 1GS/s sample rate, and a 20Mpts memory depth. This makes it a great entry-level oscilloscope for education and hobbyists looking for a budget scope with good performance. Additionally, the GDS-912 can preform FFT's with 6 different window types, and the scope supports simultaneous display of the continuous and frequency time domains.
There are two USB connections, one to store data and the other for connecting the scope to a PC for control/data storage. The required software and drivers can be downloaded here.
