Re: 1S1 Serial No. 100396 Guernsey
When troubleshooting analog sampling systems, I've found that it is most efficient to start with the timing circuitry. I don't worry about sampling gate until after I confirm that the timing circuitry

Re: Help in using TEK Differential Amp to check Switchmode Supplies
I meant for connecting to the 340 volt peak supply which is typical on capacitor input switching power supplies. 120 volt AC input power supplies use a voltage doubler to get to 340 volts DC. As

Re: Help in using TEK Differential Amp to check Switchmode Supplies
I have a red 250 MHz x10 Chinese probe rated to 1.2 kVolts and they are not kidding about the voltage rating; 2 kVolts will cause it to break down. It does deliver a 1.4 nanosecond rise and fall time

Re: 1S1 Serial No. 100396 Guernsey
Sampling scopes have DC offset, which may be a multi-turn or a coarse/fine control.This could drive the trace way off screen.Does it behave the same in both plugin slots ? Since you said you were not

Re: Help in using TEK Differential Amp to check Switchmode Supplies
I have one, I use it with a 485. Pretty satisfied with it. I consider it "basic equipment". I have taken it up to 2.6KV working on Z axis circuits with no ill effects. I see them with higher voltage

Re: Help in using TEK Differential Amp to check Switchmode Supplies
On a flyback supply that is the truth, yes. Up to 800V Mosfets, are not uncommon. Apart from the voltage rating, x10 may mean no more than 50V/DIV on some scopes, making it completely impractical to

Re: Help in using TEK Differential Amp to check Switchmode Supplies
"... adequate for 240 VAC work which is unlikely to produce higher than +/- 340 volts DC...." Erm, guys, if these are switched mode supplies on a 240V system, when the switching transistor switches

Re: 1S1 Serial No. 100396 Guernsey
It's important to point out that sampling plug-ins drive the horizontal display of the scope. Make sure it's connected to the scope the right way. There's a free run setting for the trigger. I haven't
