Re: How to probe a voltage using ps2204A?

Yes it generally makes a difference where you place the ground probe. When we refer to ground in electrical circuits, we refer to the reference voltage from which we measure voltages. If you want to measure the voltage at one point in a circuit with reference to the ground you can place the probe at...

I'm quite new to python so it may not be perfect but this seems to be missing from the ps2000.py file: class PS2000_TRIGGER_CONDITIONS(Structure): _pack_ = 1 _fields_ = [("channelA", c_int32), ("channe...

ps2204a timebase

Hi,

I can't seem to find how the timebase is calculated for the ps2204a oscilloscope. It doesn't seem to be clear from it's user manual compared to other models. Does the "2^timebase / Max sample frequency" rule still apply for timebases 0, 1, and 2 with this scope?
