Sounds like a great solution Mark.
be careful there are no 'pinch' points on the scope mount
that could chop the cable though, a short on the USB could kill
the laptop.
I have a few general purpose voltages on the GEM that I can tap
into that don't rely on a PC (but that's not exactly helpful for
remote observing I suppose).
I'm always after either 6v/9v/12v DC for something on my
scope so I made it permanent.
And it's routed through the neck of the GEM in such a way as to never
foul on anything in the dark.
