[sdiy] Digital scopes in Latest Circuit Cellar

[Tom Arnold]

Picked up the July Circuit Cellar magazine  #156.

Article in it of interest to those wanting a PC based digital scope.
Build a Three-In-One Measurment System.  Scopy + Logic Analyzer + Signal Gen.
Hangs off the Serial port not printer port.  its only 1mhz and the signal 
generator does 6khz with .3hz resolution.  Looks to speak with LabView or
some equiv.  Anyway, thought it might interest someone.

Also in same edition  ad for www.saelig.com.  They have a 200kS/x 12bit
dual channel USB based scope dongle.  www.usb-instruments.com.  I think this
is interesting because it exceeds any printer port based solutions sampling
rate by a factor of 4.  They also have a USB based logix analyzer.  Nice
thing about both devices is they are *SMALL*  You could easily fit the scope
dongle and logic dongle with probes into your laptop bag.

And with the ongoing discussion about compact flash based PC's and the like,
you can hardly NOT look at Circuit Cellar as its chock full of companies
making every single board solid state device you can think of.
