Many cases in production test environments 1-2million dollar tester. 30K-300K scope... cant use any of it because of a broken 10k-60k probe. Take GREAT care of your scope probes. (Ground Straps etc) Also screenshots saves. IF you didn't record it... it didn't happen. | |

| Dec 26, 2013 at 2:03 | comment | added | Renan | I would go with a logic analyzer first. I find one to be more useful (but then, I work mostly on projects at the low-MHz range) than an oscilloscope. | |
