Re: Big negative spikes when mesuring regulated voltages

Hi, For the first measurements you asked, if I understand well, I just run it with no trigger. I added the run as I understood it (5ms/div, no trigger), but just decided to increasse the number of waveforms to 1000 instead of 100 because otherwise I got about 2 spikes. I put the file on the drive : ...

Re: Big negative spikes when mesuring regulated voltages

Hi, Thanks for your answer. How can I increase the number of samples above 49k? For my model (Picoscope 2405A), the buffer size is 48kS. If I put a number of samples bellow 48k, I get approximately the number of samples I ask for, but when I ask for something bigger (then I always get around 49k sam...

Re: Big negative spikes when mesuring regulated voltages

Hi, Thanks for your answer. I did the test again (at 11.1V according to the power supply). I first used 5ms/div as you suggested. As one get only a single spike, I tried 5s/div (2 spikes, but it isn't enough to see if they are regular) and then finally I tried 20s/div, where I got 8 spikes, without ...

Big negative spikes when mesuring regulated voltages

Hi, Will doing some testings today, I realized that when measuring regulated voltages, from time to time the picoscope measures big negative spikes (sometimes even exceeding the -20V). I'm using a Picoscope 2405A. I put a trigger in single or repeat mode at 3V rising. About twice a minute, I'm getti...
