Depending on the bandwidth he needs you might get away with Daquarta or
one of the other software scopes that uses the sound card for input.

I suspect it might not be fast enough for what he wants but you can try
before you buy and continue to use it as a signal generator afterwards.

It is quite handy for popular science lectures on music and sounds.
