Re: oscilloscope for CNC

Naw, There are plenty of online sites that have "How To's" and examples to
demonstrate an O-scopes abilities. Its just how motivated a person is to
find, read, and learn what might be to some a "Very boring Subject". It
really hurt to fork out the bucks for a Fluke 92B Scopemeter but was well
worth it. The instruction manual had many Examples of different testing
situations, ways of triggering the waveform properly, and was explained in
almost a laymans terminology. "I Think", only basic electrical skill was
needed to learn most of the features...
Technology is making things a LOT easier than the scopes of the 70's and
80's. It wont be long before you'll see very cheap deals on older scopes.
I was very surprised to see what some scopes sell for on Ebay. Check it out.
