Just a random thought, I have a 60Mhz scope, but PWM controllers are high frequency.

Does this mean I would not be able to view the waveform of a 13Khz PWM controller?

 

Shouldn't be a problem if the pulse width stays constant for the period of observation.
If not, it depends on the functions available on your scope. Does it have a capture function? Can the timebase be set to trigger at a particular pulse duration?

 

ummm... I'm not entirely sure. It does have a capture function though.
It's a Tektronix TDS1002b

 

Umm, as 60,000,000 > 13,000 you should have no problem seeing this signal on any scope made after 1960.

 

I can't believe I'm seriously that stupid.

Yes, I guess MHz is greater than kHz isn't it.

I need a double facepalm pic

 

Only by an order of magnitude....

DOUBLE DOULBLE face palm.....

We all do it!!!!!

 

Shouldn't be a problem if the pulse width stays constant for the period of observation.

If not, it'll look like jitter. But one might be able to recognize a pattern. I was able to do that while observing repeating serial data.

Thank you sir, That sums it up nicely lol.
