Re: [ot] I won a toy!
Hey *I* think it's pretty exciting! Good for you!!!!!
Just experiment with some clean sine waves (from a generator) and see if you can
determine where the TDS has "holes" or the equivalent of "birdies" in a shortwave
receiver. We have found some delicate anomalies with most digital scopes, fun tho
they may be, not to mention the PC interface!
ENJOY!
Nerd??? I used to have one of my scopes set up as a lissajous monitor on my stereo,
and would invite people to watch it with the lights turned down...And that's the tip
of the iceberg!
