  > There's something really nice about using analog scopes. There really is, and it's not just hipster-esque nostalgia like people who haven't used them might think. For one they're not subject to digital aliasing. Sure, they have some bandwidth limitations that can lead to some of the same results, but I've found they're better at smearing the different frequencies on the screen when I'm looking at the scope with not ideal time steps, whereas it's far easier on a digital scope to get something that looks like your signal but is just an artifact of the digital aliasing. There's a lot of nice features that a DSP pipeline unlocks versus an analog pipeline, but sometimes when things get real wonky it's hard to beat an analog scope to make sense of reality.
