    Tuning with and old-school O-Scope

    I got my hands on an older, but functional O-scope and I'm going to try to tune my G320's. The scope obviously doesn't have the ability to record the trace. Will I be able to see the oscillations? That's probably a dumb question... Has anyone else tuned the drive with a non-recording o-scope?

    I'm guessing that I'm going to use the mach3 function that just bounces the servo back and forth at a given interval.

    I welcome all input.

    You'll need s dual channel scope so that you can trigger at the right moment. Voltage should be 2v and time should be 1ms.
