[ARC5] Signal generator selection

[Craig]

J: I'm essentially setting up the bench from scratch. I haven't had to 
do any bench work with anything more than a multimeter since about 1983. 
I managed to come up with a Motorola 0-40 VDC/ 0-40 amp power supply  
and a Tex 485 scope over the last year and half. I already had a couple 
of DMM's and have a Simpson 260 Series 7 that needs a set of battery 
leads to be functional. I did a power needs survey this morning and hit 
a temporary roadblock... I'm out of power in the office as soon as the 
scope is powered up with all the normal office stuff running. Going to 
have to relocate the bench to the garage and pop in a couple of 120 
circuits and another 240 one for the power supply.

I don't mind buying equipment that has better capabilities than I need 
or foresee, but I do need to limit how much better the equipment is, so 
as to not overspend on too much overkill.
