[sdiy] how to view a quantizer staircase on a scope?

[Scott Gravenhorst]

If I've followed this thread correctly, you're driving the staircase generator from
a sawtooth.  Trigger the sweep from the sawtooth which drives it.  You can watch
both waveforms assuming dual trace and set the time base so that you can see one
entire sawtooth cycle as a stable waveform.  Then you will see the staircase
correctly sync'd to the sawtooth.
