    How to test the waveform update rate in a new oscilloscope?

    I have see one video on youtube that some one connected possibly at the pass/Fail BNC one multimeter which it was measuring KHz, and it supposed that the frequency was representing the waveform update rate of the oscilloscope in a range of test frequencies.

    Is this the correct way to do such measurement?

    You best use TRIG OUT if available; PASS/FAIL may be limited to how fast mask testing works.

      And it is that simple? TRIG OUT and a frequencies counter...
      No other magic is required?

        Should be all that is necessary..

          How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
          by chth96
          Hello
          I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
          So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
          I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
          I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

          test active pfc power with lamp test
          by khelane
          Hello
          I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
          Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
          Is there a way...

          Thinkpad Docker G2 Type-C 40AS - Firmware Unknown
          by TheUser
          Hello to everyone ,

          This is my first post here, and i would like to share with you a small story in case you can help me.

          Docker Type-C Gen 2 - Model 40AS. Was given to me by a friend for free ,but with the problem that you cannot use the video output ports.

          All ports work , USB , Ethernet, Type C ... but HDMI + Display Port don't work

          I searched on reddit and google for problem similar to that, and a LOT of people had fixed this problem by updating the firmware. So i tried , i searched and found 1.1.13 utility and 1.1.20 utility that can help...

          Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!
          by chronic519
          Hello.

          GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
          Found issue with a RAM block
          Replaced, green lines gone.
          Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
          Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.

          I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
          I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
          The repaired one, ran...

          z490-f gaming bricked after bios update
          by lordgeny
          I had to assemble a PC with this Z490-F Gaming motherboard and an i7-1700K CPU. Upon the first boot, the CPU LED was red and flashing. I realized that I needed to update the BIOS. I didn't read the ASUS notice that said, "Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site, and update ME firmware to Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1 to ensure optimized system settings." I updated the BIOS without doing this, and everything seemed fine until the system performed an Intel ME update and shut down permanently. My attempts to reflash it were unsuccessful. Searching online,...
