It helps to have a digitizer on the line, a 'scope to sample the line, say,
20 seconds before and 20 second after a glitch. This way you can surely tell
what happened without any speculation. There are a number of ready made
digitizers (red-pitaya, digilent analog discovery, ...)

The audio input on a PC also works.  With stereo, you can watch both sides of
the 120/240 line in a typical US house.

Hi

At some point the rational question would be - how does this relate to timing?

Getting a sound card so that it will do a reasonable job of time tagging edges
can be “fun”. My approach was always to feed a “known” signal into that second
channel …..
