content: Quote from: w2aew on May 30, 2017, 02:03:10 amI have a small backlog of questions to ask you, but before that I am reminded about all of the people absurdly knocking the MDO that you use (as slow, even though it's really not; and it's doing calculations and correlations that those detractors' instruments can't actually do with their equipment). Even if all of their complaints were correct (which they aren't), the fact is that the MDO is an exceptional device especially in the context ofyouruse case: your videos where you can show both domains on the same instrument and in the same continuous shot demonstrate viscerally that you aren't doing things that aresocomplicated, and that you have nothing up your sleeve, so to speak. You aren't wasting time setting up and tearing down multiple test scenarios, and this leaves more time for the viewer to focus on exactly the topic at hand. Without the MDO, some of the videos you make N minutes long would have to be 2N minutes long just to explain (and prove on camera) the setup, calibration, normalization, etc of some second or third instrument.IMHO, once the prices go down some the educational role for MDOs will be absolutely game changing. For now, those who can afford it still benefit in a really remarkable way.
