JYETech Low cost
I just bought the 062 Digital Oscilloscope from Seeed Studio | Arsenal and freelancer for interaction engineering for $33USD in DIY kit. It is not a kit for the inexperienced due to very small SMD parts. The fully assembled version is $49 USD.
It gives me a good idea of what's going on in my SSG.
It doesn't compare to the 200Mhz Tek scope, I am used to; however: it allows me to:
a) measure cap discharge timing
b) hall effect measurements
c) classic h wave views
d) build 555 circuits to spec
The best measure of rise time for a SSG is to use neon across the coil without a charge battery. Look for a white to purple flash before the parts burn up. I don't know how you measure RE other than with a gas discharge tube. This method is for test circuits only unless you have lots of money for replacement parts.
