[TriEmbed] Budget minded oscilloscope

[Scott Hall]

During the TriBRAE workshop yesterday, there was some inquiries as to what
oscilloscope to get on a budget.  I know this has been discussed in the
TriEmbed group a few times.
Here is an article from PC Guide Magazine: "Best Oscilloscope for Makers
and Hobbists":
https://www.pcguide.com/reviews/best-usb-oscilloscope-for-makers-and-hobbyists/
And a similar article from ElectronicsLab.Com: "Top 5 PC-Based
Oscilloscopes For Thinkers and Makers":
https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-5-pc-based-oscilloscopes-thinkers-makers/

However, folks wanted a standalone unit, not requiring a PC for the
display.  Here is one blogger's opinion:
"3 Great Oscilloscopes For Any Budget":

And this article from The Geek Pub: "Best Oscilloscope For Hobbyists And
Home Users":
https://www.thegeekpub.com/242346/best-oscilloscope-for-hobbyists-and-home-users/
And from House Tech Club: "Best Oscilloscopes For Any Budget":
