O-scope uses...Cody

This thread was started by me posting this link in a previous thread (which 
is how/why my name got put in the subject I suppose):

I've had one for a couple of years and love it. I'm a Porsche mechanic by 
trade and have easily diagnosed a dozen or so bad flywheel VR sensors thanks 
to this scope. Being able to take a screen shot is useful when a customer is 
skeptical because of the high cost of changing one of these on a 911. Also 
have used it for wheel speed sensors, alternator ripple, and countless other 
things.
