Alastair,

Two types that come to my mind: Tektronix TDS794D, and TDS684B; and sure there
are several others.

        What digital scopes have an output connection at one of their analog
front
        end amplifiers?
        
        Also, does anyone have information about which scopes have one convertor
        for each channel (some use one for two channels) ?
        
        Regards,
        Alastair.
