Re: SG503 - low output frequency on 100-250MHz range?
Metal film resisters do have an inductive property to them and act strange at higher frequencies. And are helical cut so from a construction standpoint would be a resister with inductive properties or

Hi Rich, Not a hijack at all -- you properly changed the subject heading, so you're good. :) If the 555 is getting the proper supply voltage (measure that at the chip), then there are very few things

Re: DM501A Input Leakage Source
First, what Ed said. :) Second, you're looking for leakage on the board, but you won't find it there, so don't tear things apart in a hunt for what is a ghost. The leakage is coming from the

Re: DM501A Input Leakage Source
Don't worry about it too much. Any input amplifier of any system needs to have a certain DC input bias current for operation. It may be very small, but won't be zero, or constant, over operating

DM501A Input Leakage Source
I have a pair of DM501As that I use as my every day go-to DMMs on my bench. They work well. I have noticed, though, that with an open input on the 200mV range, one reads about +11mV, and the other

Re: A6302 Current Probe - AM503B 588 Error, No DC function
Hi David, Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm observing something similar, though I can't see any signal in DC or AC coupling. I'm trying to determine if the AM503B or A6302 is at fault (or both).
