Shouldn't be too bad, a 10uF cap would have 15 Ohms impedance at 1KHz, 150 Ohms at 100Hz, and one could inject at different places on the trace... away from the big bypass caps. Doing the same with DC and a simple multimeter should work too. bye, Said In a message dated 3/23/2012 14:31:42 Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

Good bypass caps are near AC shorts. I've not tried it, but am not optomistic. It would work on stuck signals lines, but not well on power, IMO. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
