I'd like to see some waveforms from my 12kx60ma 6" coil but I don't
know how to insure that I don't fry my scope.

>From what I've seen so far, even if I turn it on from the next room,
if it didn't blow, I'd be looking at waveforms. :)

While we're on the subject, (I know I was warned), I leave my PC
running about 50 feet (3 rooms) away and on different circuits. If the
mouse is on a metal surface, it dies & I have to reboot to get it
back.  If it's on the mouse pad, no harm occurs.  I'm just wondering
the path the current is taking.  (50 feet through the slab, up through
the metal desk,  through the mouse, to electrical chassis ground?)

Thanking you all in advance,
