RE: Secondary winding direction

Original poster: "Lau, Gary" <gary.lau@xxxxxx>

The winding direction makes no difference - CW, CCW, pri & sec same or
different doesn't matter.

A scope is the only way to measure the operating frequency; a frequency
counter is useless since the waveform is not CW.
