RE: [TCML] Tuning a Tesla Coil with an Oscilloscope

["Phil Tuck" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A lot of low price DVM's have a frequency range. They normally only measure
to 1kHz, but that is enough accuracy for what you want. It does not matter
if they are actually out a bit either, as long as you use the same actual
meter to calibrate the device and then to measure the coil with.

Hi Brandon (All),

I think I'll definitely be taking this route. Still one problem though; I
have no way of accurately measuring frequency! Can you (or anybody chiming
in) suggest some test equipment I should use for this? I don't want to shell
out a quarter grand on a fluke, some junky made in china eBay item would
suffice. But at the prices I'm seeing so far, I may as well just pinch my
pennies and invest in a fluke... Better in the long run. lol.

Thanks,
(The first?) Brandon
