Or rather, non-lab based fun. I’ve now got a new Agilent scope to play with and the best thing about it is that it has VNC so I can remotely log in to the scope and use it like that, along with telnet-ing into the board I’m testing I can now do some of my testing from the comfort of my own desk away from all those noisy fans (that the spinning kind not the groupie kind…they have to wait at the entrance).
This is of course all pointless as the response over VNC is sluggish to say the least so I’ll have to return to the lab to nurse my board which is now sprouting wires everywhere and has so many probes attached it looks like it’s in intensive care.
