- Votes for:
+1 by Petesoper. This instrument runs standalone, unlike the others currently on the list. The other instruments that require PCs can be the cool dudes for data capture, but having something that can be immediately used will be a good thing too.
Other Suggestions
- Bench power supply
- CAT5/6 cable tester
- Carts with wheels that can hold instrument/PC combos
