better with a soldering iron than most engineers I know!
Good test instruments are critical to a person's success as an analog cir-
cuit designer! They are the equivalents of musical instruments to a musi-
cian .. .you never share your Stradivarius (i.e., Tektronix 7904A
oscilloscope) and need to be intimately familiar with its nuances to get
the best performance out of it. Bottom lines here: 1) don't buy cheesy
foreign test gear unless you absolutely have to, and 2) when you find
Figure 5-3.
