Get the version with the bigger graphic screen. The firmware

I think I got the kit. And I've had a hot soldering iron on the bench in
front of me for quite close to 70 years. So I know which end is
hot. :-)
I bought 2 of the ones with the clear case. Figured I would probably blow
one or both with the dielectric absorbtion of the typical aged 'lytic
cap. One doesn't always remember to short circuit them before hooking up
the probes, then remove the short. Its very good practice.
I'm with Gene. Been soldering for the better part of 50 years. I built
my kit PDQ. Now I have to figure how to shoehorn this in the case
Banggood sent me. Standoffs don't quite line up with the board. Wonder
if they sent me the wrong one.
I needed this like I needed a hole in the head with all the other gear I
have. A full blown Tek 577 curve tracer that does more than I've
learned to do yet on it, more scopes, storage and regular, along with
waveform analyzers, counters, signal and function generators and so on.
But this little kit caught my eye a while back and it was cheap enough
for a "what the hell."
