Title: Troubleshooting with oscilloscope?
Post by: WaldoDog on November 29, 2010, 07:43:58 PM
I have an older 2 input tectronics oscillocope.  I am thinking I can use this to trouble shoot problems in the line. 

It has been a long time since I have used it and besides noise, can I read the X10 signal amplitude.  If so, how?    B:(

I would appreciate any help since I am just getting started with X10, Active home and Macros.  I have about 10 lamp modules and appliance modules with a few motion sensors and socket rocket.  I am having the same problems as every one else.  Just starting to weed them out.

Thanks so much for your help!
Waldo
