At PG Trionic Inc, we recently purchased a new ($12,000) powerful oscilloscope, a tool that displays voltage waveforms, and helps to understand signals, timings, etc. This new ‘scope offers both the traditional (4) analog signals, and also 16 digital signals – right now I’m monitoring 7 signals on this new 48V bidirectional motor controller that we’re developing; a big advantage over our other “only 4 channel” ‘scopes is that I can now monitor both the control signals from the processor, and the resulting motor signals.
