Thanks; just downloaded..and yes... it looks complicated!

Well, granted it can look a bit daunting. But just read the bits about voltage probes. The main message is that if you use a probe incorrectly you can chase your tail trying to diagnose what looks like a circuit fault whereas you are looking at an artifact of the probing method. There are a number of standard gotchas that the Tek probes document sets out with oscilloscope trace examples.
