Something like that. You can't beat a 40-year-old Simpson. They sell for low bucks but are reliable as heck. That's my go-to even before a Fluke digital multimeter.

I just recently bought a BitScope BS05 USB Oscilloscope to watch the waveform on a pulse generator that will soon be controlling my gas heater. For about $50 bucks I got a full blown logic analyzer the likes of which cost us $150,000 when we needed them back in the very early 1980's. I am blown away at how the costs of computer related stuff has come down in the past 40 years - Especially in the last ten years.
