Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Ok, then maybe you should get the USB scope. Because that is working a thousand times better than a soundcard - litterally, 50Msps instead of 50ksps. Working a million times better than the HP scope

Well, I guess these PC Based scopes aint all bad! I have been downloading and trying some of the really cheap (AKA FREE) ones that use the computer's sound card. I made up a little "Gizmo" type

At work, we don't trim email--we have "unlimited" bandwidth, and so nothing needs to be trimmed. Presumably so we can properly assign blame or take CYA action, without having to search for old emails.

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Lately, I've taken to soldering 50 ohm coax to low voltage signal stuff, then I can actually see mV stuff instead of real fuzzy "I think it's a 5mV swing but with 30mVpp of noise". That's assuming

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Agreed. I am no novice, and sampling artifacts get me regularly. I often use the analog scope to see what is "really going on". But I also agree the ease of making measurements with a digital scope is

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Ahyup, DSO's can be problematic with aliasing and outright "hiding" of stuff. On the other hand, they are great with non-repetitive signals. And serious headscratching stuff, where you run something

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
I agree with that! Especially with very fast irregular signals which i can't quite figure out i'll go to the analog scope to see "what's really there". You'll also sometimes get sampling artefacts

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
Yes, it is going to be very practical to look at measurements 5 meters away, a lot of running around, it's supposed to be good for your health ;-). Been there, done that, because the scope was too

Re: How limitting do you think a scope would be if it were limitted to 35 volts?
First thing to do is look at some known signals with your HP scope. It may have an internal square wave generator for self-checking. You can also always depend on the 60 cycle sine wave from the power
