Can I use a Binarie counter to slow down a dijital signal or a cascade
of them So I may view the signal on my old slow scope.
 
A binary counter may be used to divide the frequency of a signal, but if
you're concerned about amplitudes, risetimes, falltimes, etc., you really
need to invest in a scope with suitable bandwitdth.

If you are trying to analyze any digital data other than square waves
with the binary counter you are out of luck. The binary counter's
output will only change with every other change to its input, so you
will know the time between rising or falling edges (counter dependant)
but you will lose the data from every other edge. I tried drawing the
output of a data stream in mspaint, and the output signal was slower,
but looked nothing like the input signal.
