No way I am watching a video over an hour long to listen to some incoherent guy go around. If he can't tell me what he wants to tell me in ten minutes or less then, I'm sorry but I don't have the time. |

Oddly enough there are situations where a small shop is better of with just a higher end item (if they absolutely need some higher end capability, the rest is already "free") as there may not be demand for simultaneous use, where as a big company is more likely to have a diverse fleet of equipment that can be allocated/used as needed across the simultaneous tasks. --- End quote --- You ain't getting something like a Uni-T over the threshold of a large company, the reality is that you usually have an entire department dedicated to purchasing things and it's not uncommon they actually have a safety checklist for lab equipment. --- End quote --- I have not seen anyone intervene from purchasing for safety reasons. Any of: preferred supplier, cost, delivery method, domestic vs international. Approvals chain is where the time is wasted, good bosses have found smooth ways to avoid that and fit for purpose stuff just gets bought. Cheap things like a Uni-T meter would disappear from oversight through low value or stuffing it within a larger order. Coming from experience of very large organisations that would happily put off brand equipment out in R&D. Some places might have rules, but even those that do can have people who ignore them (and then hide the evidence when it might be noticed). |

From one Ramblin' Man to another, he would benefit greatly from a script or at least some bullet points on an index card. |

He just can’t stay on track. I think there may be some AD(H)D at play here. |

fuck cheap scopes at work its a total troll especially if you are prototyping you need the best of the best without glitches. the amount of back and forth a bad scope reading can generate is preposterous and it can make any engineer look like a blundering fool that is incapable of evaluating even the most simple matters. with the pay of engineers and how much voodoo they are expected to push and evaluate for clueless bureaucrats the scope price is absolutely justified. Sometimes you get 1 day to have to confidently give the answer to a question which can effect a quarter and a entire sales plan for people that make many millions every month and effect an entire work force. that means bandwidth, trigger, alias, interconnects need to be as good as they can make it. You will still make mistakes but it keeps it down, and there still will be triggering issues. |
