I was wondering about capacitive vs conductive, because I've read so many old posts that mention capacitance that I even started to get the two terms mixed up in my head. I understand that in conductive testers "a specified AC voltage is capacitively coupled to the test cell or battery and the...

I have a DSO Quad that I've used a handful of times. Someone wrote a protocol analyzer for it, but I've never tried it, and it requires uploading new firmware. Sounds like the picoscope does that and more out of the box. Is there a particular model you'd recommend?
