Can we observe addresses, data and other signals on the microcomputer buses by an oscilloscope, a LED or even an ordinary DC voltmeter?

Microcomputers are dynamic devices that are synchronized by a clock oscillator. So the signals (E, R/W, CS, A15-A0, D7-D0...) appear on their buses only for parts of a microsecond and, as the buses ...
