i would think Measure would be more interested in (short-term) averages of voltage and current than in seeing power supply noise. (will an XO even run properly from an unrectified, or even unfiltered, supply?) paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
