Hi,
I am just trying to mess around with electronics stuff, and I don't know too
much, but I've put a circuit or two together with help from this forum and
others. I've got a fluke DMM and clampmeter, but I'd really like to be able
to scope some stuff sometimes. I just don't know if I could part with the
money for a portable scope like a fluke 123 however just for playing around.
I have some questions and appreciate any suggestions for what might be good:
1. Do most scopes have decent voltage input on them? For example, can you
hook most of them up to line power (120vac or 240vac)? I am assuming the
fluke can do this no sweat, but I don't know.
2. I also see a bunch of references to X10 probes. Are these used to
reduce the voltage to something a scope can use, for example 240VAC -->
24VAC ?
3. Do you have any recommendations for a scope that works on a notebook
that is relatively low cost that has decent features (keep in mind I have no
idea what features you would want in a scope).
I would even consider some of these scopes that are free based ones that
work with a sound card, but my question is, what type of voltage input can
you get with a microphone jack???
Thanks!
Alan
Well I guess these things have their uses but you cant beat a real
scope on so many levels. An old Tek can be had on ebay for peanuts and
they work forever.
