Default Re: Checking ignition coil with dwell meter

I did this, but the faq at
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/start...s.html#badcoil says the
following.

How to tell if your coil is bad:
"The simple test to diagnose most no-spark conditions is this: Connect
a dwell meter to the negative coil terminal and to ground. Crank the
engine: No dwell, bad igniter; Dwell but no spark, bad coil.

Would this give me more information then the above test. Specifially,
would it help identify if this is the cause of an intermittant not
starting problem.
