    Default oscilloscope channel trace colours

    On eBay, I happened to observe varying degrees of consistency of oscilloscope default trace colours per channel between a number of manufacturers, especially the Chinese manufacturers.

    I concluded that LeCroy and Sigelent use the same default trace colours, and most major Chinese manufacturers follow the Tektronix trace colour scheme to varying degrees (Micsig follows it completely, Hantek for certain units, Rigol with the exception of Channel 4 - Atten and Tonghui also follow this scheme despite not manufacturing 4 channel units).
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

      All 4 of my traces are green, dang that P31

        Turquoise here... Dang odd hybrid digital/analog techtronics scopes......

        You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

        Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          old X58 triple channel board... memtest86 memory speed?
          by eccerr0r
          Anyone run memory speed tests with an old X58-based triple channel 1st gen or any other >2 channel board? The one I have is a Gigabyte I think.

          Anyway I had four 4GB DDR3-1333 modules in the 6 memory slots and got around 11GB/sec memory speeds assuming that it went dual channel since it didn't have enough modules for triple channel. Now I stuck in two more 4GB modules, but they are DDR3-1600. I'm still getting 11GB/sec speeds according to memtest86...

          Just wondering, anyone do memory speed analysis on these triple (and higher) channel memory boards? Are there any...

          Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
          by spleenharvester
          Hi friends

          I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

          Is it possible bridging tiny broken trace
          by chth96
          When I assembled dreamcast I mistakenly fastened long bolt and It resulted in
          cutting tiny trace.
          This tiny trace(Total width of white coating is 5.5mm) is between R337,R343 and IC101 and it is covered with white coating in the below screenshot.


          Firstly I tried to bridging tiny broken trace with my own eyes...But it is totally impossible..So a week ago, I ordered G1200 Digital Microscope and I magnified this tiny broken trace with it.

          But It seems that It is really very tiny trace So I plan to order 0.1mm coper wire from aliexpress in order to bridging...

          Help on car amplifier only one channel works
          by mikey5791
          Hi all forum members,
          Fyi, i have been working on this old model PCT-4082 (4 channel car amplifier). The owner said only one channel is working.
          My initial finding is this amp originally use Toshiba 2SA1943 and 2SC5200 transistor for its output but after opening the top casing i found it used Toshiba A1941 (pnp)and C5198(npn). I desoldered all the 4 pairs transistors and found 1 piece A1941 open(tested "OL" on all legs) and replaced the 1st pair with 2SA1943 and 2SC5200, thats why you can see in the picture it is the bigger size transistor. The other A1941 and C5198 all...

          American Audio VLP1500 Distorting on one channel
          by dicky96
          Hi guys I have a VLP1500 amplifier here - one channels works fine and the other channel distorts even at low volume settings

          Protection and Clip LED are off

          There is something wrong with the BIAS voltages around T16 and T18 (in particular) on the bad channel

          I tested all diodes and transistors in this area in circuit with diode mode - both channels seem identical. Same in resistance mode across all the resistors here.

          The output DC voltages on pin1 and pin8 of the 5532D dual op amp at the input of each amplifier module are the same, and the audio...
