I guess since no one answered my question about strange
flickering phenomena in the new Wave Surfer scope's LCD
screen we just got, I conclude that no one here uses one.

So i'll make a call tomorrow to inquire about this so
they'll have it on record or maybe suggest that something is
actually wrong with it.

Thanks Any way..

The one with the Windows-OS? Never again. At some point I asked the
client whether they had a real scope.

Not sure if its on a windows OS, I don't see anything that looks
like windows while it's booting.

We've only had it for week now, getting all 4 channels set up
on a machine so that we can monitor and record some data we need
to know about..
HV in 2 of the channels, current reading on a channel and a signal
reading that is originating this from the start. This part seems to be
working fine. I'm just being causes about this flickering due to the
expense of the unit and all the options that had to be purchased.

Thanks.

Walter LeCroy. He used to make CAMAC instruments for the national
labs, before he went into the scope business. Los Alamos asked us to
design an equivalent to his expensive and unreliable 4208 TDC module,
so we did.

When LeCroy found out about it, on the next bid they cut their price
*in half* to kill us off. Our pal at Los Alamos disqualified them on
technical grounds, and I still have a job.

Some time later, LeCroy offered to license a couple of their designs
to us. They wanted us to assume some huge technical and customer
headaches they wanted to be rid of, and proposed that we lose money as
a side benefit. We declined.

Walter sounds like the average greedy business man! :)

Well, I hope what you just told me isn't a sign for things
to come in our near future! ;)
