Should I buy NI myDAQ for use after training?

Question

Electronics

I started learning electronics on my own using online resources. Should I buy NI myDAQ with the expectation that I will later use it to work on real projects? Since there is little knowledge yet, I do not really understand how useful all of its components are. Multimeter - you can immediately buy a good one separately. Oscilloscope - for simple measurements, you can also take the old Soviet one. Signal generator - already have a tangible price, but I hardly need it to develop the first devices. Maybe there are other devices similar to myDAQ that are more profitable to buy? Compared to programming, I don't want to get something like a "turtle graphical programming environment", but I agree with Pascal or BASIC. To clarify - I plan to master analog electronics with a deepening in signal processing.

Answer 1

An old Soviet oscilloscope, if it has not yet been taken out to a non-ferrous metal, then you should definitely do it. Even the simplest digital standalone Chinese will do any available Soviet oscil.
And, my personal opinion: virtual instruments are anathema.
