Try www.hyperlabsinc.com  they used to make a low cost 35psTr TDR that
interfaced to National instruments Labview.  I used to use one about 7 years
ago with a laptop and it was great.

Sorry if this seems a bit off-topic.  
 

Does anybody know of an inexpensive and easy-to-use TDR system that's
good enough to localize PCB assembly shorts and open with accuracy that
translates into about 1 inch on a trace?  I'm trying to see if I can
find something that can help out with the old "which chip to replace"
problem during assembly debug as often BGA x-rays are ambiguous.
