I got an Oscilloscope!

/sigh

I was looking into an Agilent 54810A Infinium Oscilloscope but at around $5000 I just can't justify it. Not to mention that most of the RC stuff that we work with is DC. I could use a Spectrum Analyzer, but that is really pretty useless as far as RC goes as well. A Power Meter, no good, doesn't do what you think.

Pretty much I need a good multimeter and DC power supply. Most of the other fancy schmancy electronic stuff is not good for what we do at home. I am going to ask how to create a 100amp dummy load at work.

Is this a large enough load to be considered a "burst" as far as ESCs go (ie the MMM/2200 combo). I would like to be able to get my hands on two dummy loads, one that draws a "burst" rating, around 100amps, and one that is a "constant" rating. That way I can use a Multimeter to determine remaining capacity and calculate voltage drops.

Someone needs to standardize the "C" rating. Otherwise I am going to repackage LiPos and say that they have "W" rating instead. And of course "W" is better than "C", maybe I'll go with "A" , oh wait, that's in use, and so is "W", dang.

"L"!! Yes MA batteries have a 4L constant and a 8L burst while the SPCs have a 6L and 13L burst.

I'm just blabbering now, sorry.
