Let me preface by saying I am not an EE, but a Computer man who dabbles 
in VERY basic electronics

I recently purchased an oscilloscope (Tektronix TDS-210) with the hopes 
of expanding my electronics knowledge & abilities.  I am trying to 
monitor the data on my 1-wire net to diagnose some sensor issues.   Some 
documentation I found on Maxim's website [ 
http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/244 ] suggests to either 
1) use a differential probe or 2) do not ground the o-scope power cord.  
Since I only have regular probes I picked up off eBay, I went for option 
2 to pull the scope ground.

I've played around a bit, but am unable to reproduce the scope snapshots 
any of the documentation shows.  My 1-wire network works fine, I am able 
to show devices & read a DS18S20 I'm trying to probe using OWFS, but I 
am unable to see the logic transmission on the data as OWFS makes the 
calls using the uncached directory.  I've searched around for any info 
on 1-wire and o-scopes but nothing gave me a breakthrough.

I know it's a bit off-topic, but can anyone suggest how to use a scope 
to watch the protocol?
