eer the client requested a 100 MHz scope be available, so it looks a bit funny if I set up a scope that say's on it's decal 50 MHz and then tell them it is 100 MHz
Ah, yes. I see. I guess that begs the question of if you knew you were to supply a 100 MHz scope for a Client, why you purchased a 50 MHz unit instead. But you don't have to explain yourself to me. At least I understand your dilemma now.

well it goes like this: I work for a BOG standard company who design and make air con and cooling packs for vehicles. The companies electrical competence dates back to pre WWII ie: we still use power resistors to reduce 24 V to 12 V but then if your equiping a military vehicle (we do a lot for MOD mostly indirectly) you want it to be robust.
We messed up on a design (nothing new) and need to verify for EMI as they go nuts over that.
We are of course very ill equiped and the way it went was thus:
Eng.: Simon have you got an oscilloscope in the QC dept. ?
me: No but I have one at home if we need one.
Eng.: It's ok I have one upstairs, do you know how to use one
me: (having thought well yes you stupid **** I just tyold you i OWN one) sure
Later he called me over and showed me his sons ex hameg 303-4 and said "show me how to use it" after some fiddling trying to get a trace out of it as the buttons had obviously been randomly pressed and I'm no scope geek I just use them he said to take it away and get it working and to let him know.
He came back later and explained that the client need a 100 MHz scope but at least we have "this one" that does 30 MHz and maybe 50 (yes for a pure sine wave only i bet) so I suggested my 50 MHz digital. took it in next day and he was impressed and said we'd best use it instead, I explained that I could probably get it to work at 100 MHz although obviosly as this guy is not on the ball (he's the one that can't draw a non abiguos evaporator coils drawing and generally get stuff right let alone understand finer things) he has not thought yet that the client will find it odd that we present a scope with 50 MHz on the face and say it will do 100 MHz, after all the mess ups we have made I know they will think we are as nuts as we are

oh well will prove to be fun, better than the usual work routine, if only they would take electronics control more seriously I may have wider scope in the job, being a goods in QC inspector is boring
