However a proper real DSO with proper knobs on the chassis is much more confortable to use. Like Mike said, without one you're really wasting your time. |

It got me a long way, but I knew when it wasn't sufficient and used a scope where necessary. Quite frankly I'm surprised you do still have paying clients. |

All that matters is the transition time; the period/frequency is irrelevant.

You dont have power supply bypassing. Whatever you put there is not enough, too far and so on. You dont even have a ceramic cap next to that FTDI chip. I'm not surprised it is not working. |

So something like the Hantek DSO5102P? Even so, would it even be worth it if I need to hire someone to remake the circuit anyway... And it would take a while to learn how to use the thing.. |
