Re: Safety when trying to couple a scope to the AC mains
I'm not well versed on the subject, But I wonder if it would help to drive one channel of your scope through a well filtered say 6V transformer,
then the other channel connected to the ac line with a

Re: how to see from lab results the PID amplifier which needs to be used
PID control is not required for PLL operation.? Your loop filter should be a simple low pass chosen such that the frequency sum terms are removed and frequency difference terms are preserved. This is

Re: Safety when trying to couple a scope to the AC mains
You clearly know what you are doing and have an extremely good reason for monitoring the AC Mains.
You need to see near instantaneous changes in the input and output. Very few people have that

Re: over-driven GM tube.
While there are ion chambers in smoke detectors that use a radioisotope, I was referring to an ion chamber designed to measure radiation.

how to see from lab results the PID amplifier which needs to be used
Hello, I have built a PLL system based on the article attached.
In the scope photos we see the IF signal of the mixer.
When the servo amplifier is ON as shown in photo 3 then the error signal ripple

Re: Safety when trying to couple a scope to the AC mains
Because my scope is the only accurate tool which I have during the last 2 decades. And I had to design and produce various power mains stabilizers.
I am sorry for what happened to your friend.

Re: over-driven GM tube.
Yup.
It is critical to calibrate against a known source, and set HV accordingly. Arbitrarily choosing an HV based on 'gut instinct' might work with newly brand new, but after being in the hole at

A safety hint.
If you decide you've just got to look at the AC Mains with a battery powered oscilloscope, reconsider, if you still decide 'I just have to do this...' then consider using a AC mains to

Re: Sort of improvised work bench
I'm going to borrow your deadman peddle idea.
I seldom work on tube/valve equipment today, everything is 5 or 12V.
Which is safer in one way because I'm not constantly poking around in 300V

One major problem with using GM tubes for radiation monitoring is they can overload and either go dead or produce an extremely low count, much below normal background. Scintalation counters can
