The GW Instek GDS-912G is a budget, 8-bit, high-speed, 2-channel oscilloscope that comes with a function generator. 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-912G can preform FFT's with 6 different window types, and the scope supports simultaneous display of the continuous and frequency time domains. The included function generator is capable of generating 7 different waveforms from 0.1Hz to 25MHz.
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.
