Re: [oopic] reading a high speed D-wave pulse from a compass

I'll have to see if a data-sheet exists somewhere on
the web. I bought the compass from a marine surplus
store (former autopilot course computer). I do have
some screen-shots from an o-scope that show the signal
it's producing. Is there a way to post those?
