   Hi,     
      
   I did a quick search on YouTube and there are dozens of videos.  The first one   
   started talking about a “Octopus Component Tester” so I did a search on   
   that and all sorts of homemade projects came up as well as the little $5   
   tester I already have for    
   testing components.     
      
   I guess that old scope has it built-in, but it's no big deal these days and I   
   actually prefer just reading the text on the little digital tester I bought on   
   eBay for less than the cost of building an  “Octopus Component Tester”.     
      
   .

   scope has this, it's a general indication of the health of the component.
