I brought mine to have something to carry with the laptop when I want a bit more 
portability than the bench DSO or a bit more capability than the Fluke scope. 
The price means that if it gets run over, knocked off or dropped form a great 
height then there aren't too many tears.

The unit has proven to be very capable, a few niggles in the software but 
gradually getting better. Support by the author has been very good.

I have found the complex triggering and display scaling to be very helpful for 
development work as the display can be calibrated in sensor measurement units.

The other item which has been really bloody useful is the digital filtering 
facility. You can set up filter parameters & look at the effect on the actual 
raw sensor signal, it gives you a feel for any analog post processing which you 
may intend to implement on an input signal prior to actually doing so. Bit like 
a real world spice ;-)  There is also a tracking gen to test network responses.

A lot of recent toil has been on the development of a sensor with a response 
below 1 meg, the trusty tek dso has been idle for a while as the added 
functionality provided by the cleverscope has been very helpful. Having said 
that, it is not a high speed CRO, it is however a very useful, reasonably 
priced, low speed instrument.
