these have been discussed before.  It is MUCH slower than a real
oscilliscope.  (20kHz vs ~100MHz), and it presumably lacks any degree
of precision.  Also, I believe the inputs are AC coupled, which means
it's not so good for DC or near-DC waveforms.

But it's better than nothing for appropriate (slow) waveforms like
audio, IR Remote control waveforms, or even low speed async comm.
