I'm looking for a new toy and am thinking about a 7904 or R7903.
There is a lot of material in the archives but I would still like
to get some ideas from the group
If you have more than one lab bench in use, some rack mount scopes can be helpful, even stacked up three high... At one of my two benches, I have a 2230 DSO on the left on an adjustable shelf, plus a rack mount R7903 on the shelf above that, and a 7844RM right on top of it. Below the shelf at the left is a lower than lab bench height desktop with computers on it, and connections from them to the bench flow easily under the scopes. I can't see all the scopes from a sitting position, but I have my lab benches chest high for standing work, and a normal height desktop adjacent.
The 7844 is a four slot rackmount shape...about as fast as a 7904 too...

PS My other bench has a 7904A.
