There are many more tests a scope can
do on this circuit that a DVOM cannot,
but you get the idea.
Here's another situation you might
be familiar with. Let's consider a
simple two-wire permanent magnet
generator (PMG) sensor, like a wheel
speed sensor. If we're addressing an
Antilock Braking System (ABS) complaint,
we've been taught to use our
DVOM to test the resistance of the
windings and if within specifications,
measure the AC voltage produced
when the wheel is spinning. We can
even measure the frequency generated
if our meter allows. Lastly, we can
compare these readings to the other
