?  .Anything you say can be used against you.  You have a right to remain 
silent.  .   (Miranda vs. Arizona (1966).

? There is no defined time interval.  The overshoot pulse occurs after 
the charged ALC bus decays, at the next spoken word.  The >90% peak of 
the pulse typ. lasts roughly 1mS.

?  In an oscilloscope that uses a vertical-signal delay line, the sweep 
triggers before the pulse arrives at the vertical deflection plates.  
This allows one to view the region Before the pulse started.  With my 
oscilloscope, I can observe single pulses with risetimes of <20nS.

?  how about that?.  

-  later, Tom.
