What makes you say that? This plot revolved around having two of my 4, or 5 if you count the 2nds only surviving child, boys here to help me celebrate my 80th, & one of them had a hard time rounding up enough sheckles for the airplane tickets. He is the oldest, fresh out of rehab & hitting every AA meeting he hears about yet. His first wife caught quick pneumonia & passed 4 years back, hit him hard & he crawled into a bottle, but he now has a new woman he signed up with about 2 years back, who is determined to dry him out and keep him that way. She seems nice except for a very quiet but non-stop mouth, which he needs I think to prop him up. I'd eventually stick a hot tater in her face for a muffler, but thats just me. :) My wife's COPD is progressing, and it takes air to talk, so we don't talk as much as I'd like. This fall weather has got her down but the last day or so we've had a bit of rain to clean the air, which seems to be helping a bit. So other than that, no real plot, just life, one day at a time. :) FWIW, on that post about the Atten scopes, it seems the are several Chinese makers using that std platform, even some US pedlars are using it, name brand stuff even. So while Atten's support isn't, Siglent's is, so I now have an updated firmware here and have been trying to locate a usb storage medium, key or disk, which I have 2 of each in this midden heap, but so far no keys, and the one 40Gb usb drive I had has apparently frozen up, won't spin up. I expect the scope wants to see a vfat file system, so it probably won't do me any good because I think I've formatted every key I own to ext3. But keys are cheap. I just found a 2Gb sandisk key, and by golly its mounted as a vfat! And it had plenty of room for those 2 files. Done. But I'm going to play a bit before I open that menu. acc the status display its firmware is prehistoric. 1.08, hdwe version 1.00. And it can't find the file on the key. I wonder if I have to rename it? I bookmarked a bunch of help sites last night, to to go re-read them. Results posted later. Might have to rename it, currently is named as an SDL##### and its probably looking for an ADS#####.
