Agree, a Rigol 1054z is easy to come by inexpensively, and it can be software modded to unlock some extra features.
The scope also works great on Linux with Sigrok.

Totally amazing bits of kit and together cost me less than a bottom end 100Mhz Tektronix scope. Both have Ethernet too so I do a lot of scripting with python and the two. You can add your own features then! So far I've written a simple distortion analyser similar to the one bob Pease described for ED magazine in around 2001. Basically it subtracts input and output and then applies arbitrary phase shift and gain and then subtracts that from the original signal to see where the distortion occurs in the cycle.
Only complaint is that the DG1022Z csv parser is a piece of shit if you want to load your own arb data. Works better over LXI.
All I need to do is take screenshots, is there a quick way to do that over USB without having to use Ultrascope?

Or USB stick. But that requires carting the stick around.
I'm surprised there seems to be no stable way to do it by USB.
