I guess we're in the same try it and see campsite then, Jon.

Although hooking my new scope up to the pwmgen's output going to the BTS 
7960 board was nice and educational.  Its 10" screen can be seen and 
read easily from several feet away. 350 megahertz bandwidth, 4 color 
trace sampler. Siglint's best.  Sure made it easy to see what the pwmgen 
was doing. And thinking outside the box a bit, I tapped into hal and 
sent some of it to spare i/o, also much faster than the halscope but 
broken by the servo thread time quantization. Too bad the 5i25/7i76 
doesn't have more analog outputs though. Being able to export the analog 
following error to a huge display sure would be nice. you could see it 
in real time without all the bs of having to switch focus with the mouse 
to exersize it, that is a certified PITA that leads to lots of mistakes 
because the nouse focus has to be shifted so many times to do it. 
Your "go" click winds up destroying you halscope setup, so you have to 
wait for the thing to finish, set it up again to look at what you 
intended to see, then remember that you must waste a click to get the go 
focus back to the mdi line and away from the halscope. 

Now if linux had a focus follows mouse that actually worked...... But 
I've not found that particular magic twanger yet. You could do it 15 
years ago, why not now?

Thanks Jon.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
