Ok that is a hybrid machine, still your using the logic probe
function as the leader. I have scope handy and use them hard
too. However, 30+ years of troubleshooting (some of them
for profit) and teaching it I hold the scope for last save for
analog and even then I've done other things first.

I'd suggest that learing how to use more basic tools fully
and understand them completely before a scope is not
a bad thing.
