Having too much fun trying to get to 1.2 Gigawatts!

I have several projects that use an oscilloscope to see what is happening at a component level or input/output state. Just a step beyond a meter that displays a reading in a moment but can't fully see things that an o-scope can. What appears to be a slightly fluttering reading may actually be noise or AC with a DC signal carrier. The o-scope can display visually AC and DC at the same time on the same line. Also tiny micro nuances, like 100Mhz small, could be happening or need to be observed as a pattern over time but as a picture for troubleshooting/adjusting. For example pulse counts for an encoder. Additionally using for trouble shooting at a component level where you can see things visually and take value readings like how a capacitor or transistor are behaving at multiple points at the same time. A want to make a device like the Huntron tracker for the scope that lets you do board comparison and find bad components on a board. We do not work that way any more where it is more cost effective an time saving to replace boards instead of the components. I want to up my trouble shooting skills to component level (capacitor, transistor, IC) trouble shooting. And lastly I just think they are really COOL!!! #3dpintedelevator
