That would be me. : )

I needed to monitor an input-output sequence on a PIC so needed the
simplest of units. the Win-Scope was the right price, but I have not
needed if for any other reason.

Now for ADC monitoring of temperatures, I would like a digital
storage sensor, but am not electronically well versed to know how to
use one.
