Test and Measurement Forum

Hi
Can i measure current with this scope? For example PC PSU where 12V rails are directed to graphics card and cpu.

Hi

You can't directly measure current using the 2104. The only way you would be able to do this would be to measure the voltage across a shunt resistor and calculate the current.

Can i use 2104 software (what is included with 2104) to make the calculation + graph?

Hi

Yes you can apply the conversion in the software and view the signal in amps.

You can download our software from www.picotech.com/software

Hi

When i use scope tip and ground together. Is it possible to measure resistors and capacitors directly?

Hi

You can only measure voltages. You can infer other measurements from known relationships and values. For example, measuring the voltage across a known resistance to determine the current flowing through it.
