One scope will try when I get in what I need to do

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

As long as that's capable of measuring up to 400V, it should just about be usable. Though, if they have an analog unit like this:

it could be more useful.

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

This is what it can do

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

Yep - looks OK - just make sure to get a probe with 10X capability (ideally, 10X probe.)
The 10X divides the 400V by 10 times giving 40V which won't damage the instrument.

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

Is 1X or 10X printed on that probe?
If you use 1X probe, the instrument might be damaged.

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

[adamp91gvm]

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

then says 500v in the red stick that was not connected

[tom66]

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

10:1 is what you want. Same as 10X. Closer pic of that one?

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

Turn unit on, and see if you can figure out how to turn channel 1 on, set to 10V/DIV (with 10X probe makes 100V/DIV) and 10ms/div time.

I didn't see it before but it's a scopemeter, a nice bit of kit. Not used one myself, so would have to find manual.

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

Like that ?

[tom66]

Re: samsung 58 inch plasma

You should press V/mV until the display at top shows 10V DC for CHANNEL A. Then press "NS S" to select 10ms (do not mix up with 10ns or 10us.)
