Scopes are good, they will let yu find glitches like housing contacts but
optical encoders don't have that problem

Last night I was using by cheap $8 logic analyzer.   Those things are good
for the money I could measure the duty cycle of a  two 10KHz PWM signals
and the A/B channels for two encoders and

Yes they make better ones but those cost more than $8   This is one good
for signals that change at up to a few MHz.
