One thing's to use an oscilloscope or GMM, but to know what the computer is actually interpreting, your only choice is this piece of equip-ment. This book is different than other book on the MODIS. This book actually teaches you how to use the equipment and interpret the PID datastream. This book also borrows from some of our other publications, but geared towards the Modis.
