Way back in the 1950's, Waterman came out with a scope, mil version was
the AN/USM-24C. A mediocre scope- AC coupled only, 5MHz bandwidth,
poor triggering, but it did have one really neat feature-- selectable
100/10/1/.5/.2 microsecond intensity markers. They made risetime
measurements incredibly easy-- much easier than the usual routine with
lining up the xy graticule lines. Plus they looked really keen-o.

I've never seen this feature on any other scope.
Any ideas why the big guys like Tek and HP didnt implement this
feature?


The MIL Stds require that all this field technical equipment and
accompanying documentation be accessible to anyone with an 8th grade
level of education. But even that might be unrealistic.
