live waveforms.  The 2212 is a dual-trace scope and is rated as having an analog bandwidth
of 60MHz.  The bandwidth in digital mode is considerably lower.  There is a DB-25 connector
on the rear panel for connecting a parallel-port printer.  It prints correctly to an
Epson-compatible printer and allows some customization of what is on the screen.  The 2212
has a "roll" mode when in digital mode at slow sample rates.
