Switched from multimeter to oscilloscope for bus troubleshooting after 8 years

Used to chase intermittent ARINC 429 faults with a DMM for years. Picked up a cheap Rigol scope last month and found a voltage droop on the 28V line in under 2 minutes. Anyone else make the switch and wonder how you got by before?

Haven't you ever fixed more than what's actually broken by looking too close at a signal that wasn't really causing the problem?

Yeah, @thomas275, I used to think that too. This scope changed my mind though.
