Put an insulated crocodile clip or a Faston terminal on one -- when
you want to monitor a wire you can install one of those 3M squeeze-on
terminals.  As well as Ken's neat little LM3914 voltmeter for the O2
sensor, check out www.nkcelectronics.com -- they'll charge you $55
for a ( www.jyetech.com ) DS062-improved storage oscilloscope that
will store 256 samples at intervals ranging from two microseconds
down to one minute apart in 1-2-5 increments.  Vertical sensitivity
from 100 mv to five volts per division, also in 1-2-5.

If you care to wait a few months, JYE Tech will be bringing out a
fully housed 'scope with hugely improved specs for about twice the
money, but the existing one has plenty of capability to be very
useful around a Vanagon.
