Rea;;y their prices aren't THAT reasonable...249$ for a 40gig firewire
hard drive? Pricewatch.com kills that off right there, plus they're
selling refurb stuff for new prices.
About the electronics hardware, I wouldn't trust Kikisui stuff. I've
actually used it in lab here in parallel with an HP (forget the model #,
but I could find out, it's a bit older so it's probably cheaper by now)
so that they are both reading the same voltage input while theoretically
looking at the transfer function and figuring out what it should be, and
it seems that the HP is much more accurate. Of course we also did tests
of the internal resistance of each, and the HP was much larger than the
Kikisui. You actually ideally want an infinite resistance so they it
will drop all the voltage that comes in so you don't let transients get
through to the ground end of the oscilloscope.
Like I said, if you want, I can find the model number of the HP. I've
also used some various wave generators that can do sin, square,
triangular, sawtooth, and noise, as well as DC power supplies, so I can
figure out what models the really nice ones we use in lab are. (I'm
going into my fourth year in electrical engineering).
