New toy

Got myself a new toy for helping with some projects coming up.

Here it is checking out a near 1mS waveform generated from a PIC18f452 uC

Cheers,
Simon

Sorry I should have been a bit more descriptive in my original post about what the unit actually does, a bit slack really.

Basically it lets me measure and view voltages and waveform that are generated by electronics. I'm using it to help me debug a project I am working on.

I didn't really need one as fancy as this one but they are very affordable these days especially when I think back to a few years ago such units would be very very expensive.

Cheers,
Simon
