Re: VECTOR: XY testing w/ a scope

I know some people poo poo it but I like the Huntron Tracker style test
equipment. Also goes by the name of Octopus and a few others that escape
me.

There was a few articles in Star Tech Journal and Nuts & Volts on how to
build these or you can use an audio generator to do the same thing.

Basically you inject a low amperage A/C signal into a componet & observe the
XY coordinate plot on your O-scope to determine merit.
