I'm looking for a cheap way to test a system I have, The system works by starting at 0V. When it is triggered it will produce a peak voltage with a magnitude of less then 100V, the system then produces a voltage of the same or lower magnitude but with the opposite sign, and then go back to 0V. All of this will occur over about 1/2 a second. I'd like to come up with a way of measuring the voltage of the peaks without using an oscilloscope.
My first thought was looking for a cheap voltage meter that could measure peak voltage, but as far as I can tell such a device doesn't exist. If someone knows of such a device, or another solution that would work for this I would be extreamly grateful.
