Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
That's what I was thinking.? A ferrite bead is an inductor that is purposefully made to be lossy.? It absorbs high frequency energy while passing DC and low frequency energy.Assuming the probe cable

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Dave, Adding ferrite beads to the ground lead itself will probably make things worse. However, threading the entire probe cable several times through a large ferrite can often help reduce noise due to

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
Many thanks, guys. Seems like the consensus is to look into the ground issues. It's getting very late in my part of the world right now so I shall retire and take a fresh look at these things Tuesday

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
First, make sure that you don¡¯t have any ground loops. I suggest you to power the 8566 and your scope from the same outlet. Best, Francesco K5URG Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2022 4:00 PM To:

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
If the spikes are at line frequency, then I'd suggest turning off LED or Fluorescent lamps and see if it makes a difference. You could always remove the ground wire, and use the probe as a sniffer to

Re: Scoping the Power Rails [8566B]
You could try slipping a few ferrite beads on the probe's ground lead. I'm not sure that'd help, but it might; does anyone else have any thoughts on that? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington,
