Thanks Tony - don't worry about the work, it keeps me busy and it's educational.
It will be interesting to compare and contrast the symmetrical square wave (50% duty cycle) with the asymmetrical square wave (6.25% duty cycle) when I get them working i.e. which one is best in giving a very clear stationary pattern on the strobe markings (I have a strobe disk for turntables).
And no real financial outlay either!
It's also allowed me to fire up my Topward Digital Function Generator, my ageing Farnell 30-4D oscilloscope and to get them properly connected. NOTE - still no responses to my Post #54 above.
Just realised that this will be Post #70 in this Thread - hopefully we are nearing a conclusion.
Just found 'The Art of Electronics' 3rd Edition on Amazon.co.uk - ouch!
