2208 Channel THD Difference

Post by Yostin »

Hello,

I have setup a test signal from my 2208 GEN output of 1khz/2V and measured directly on channels A & B.

What I am measuring gives me the impression my scope is faulty.

Channel A https://ibb.co/fwSOt9
Channel B https://ibb.co/j2Drfp

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Yostin,

I don't think that you have a faulty Scope. It looks like you have different input ranges or probe settings/switches set for the 2 channels, and you're using a square-wave with odd harmonics, which would make the screen shots perfectly normal.

But we need to confirm exactly what you are doing. Could you post a psdata file for the Scope Mode plots and one for the Spectrum mode plots, and a photo of how everything is connected up.

Regards,

Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the reply.
You are correct, I have setup the test again and all looks well now.
