Heh. "Call me back when you have grownup tools."
A Windows PC with a data acquisition card does not a piece of test
equipment make. I think even Tek and HP^H^HAgilent have learned
this. The last thing an engineer needs is unreliable and/or
unpredictable tools. Imagine a mechanic using a screwdriver that
bursts into flames at random intervals.
But anyway, as someone else was kind enough to point out, I have
been trolled. You are exceptionally good at that. ;)
