Scope help please

[big10p]

I've found it very difficult to find a digital scope with XY inputs, and even the faster ones are terrible at displaying vectors. Always keep some nasty, ancient old Gould or Unilab around - they're perfect for vector boards!

That's what bugs me. When I first got my digital scope and used it to test vector XY output, I thought OMG, is that the best it can do?! Lol

Watch it with the early digital scopes with CRTs in them too (before everything went LCD in the late 2000's).
Lovely screens, but useless for XY as it's all digitally sampled and processed behind-the-scenes.

Heh, I'd forgot that's exactly the type of scope you've got in the first picture.
I think the ideal setup is a cheap modern scope, maybe with a logic analyser and also a super-ancient analogue CRT job from the 80's if you're doing XY.
