unexpected current readings
Hello,
I have an ES 695 current probe and a pico 2204a, and I tried taking a fuel pump current waveform on my wife's 2007 4 cly Camry, and on my 2005 4 cyl Pontiac Vibe. In both cases, I got readings of over 30 amps, so I'm sure I've got my current probe or scaling set up incorrectly. Can anyone point me to where I can import the proper settings for using my ES 695 current probe, or guidance on creating the probe properly in pico software?

Re: unexpected current readings
For the 20A ranges you need to set it at the blow wan 10x
For the 80A range you need to use 100 in stead of 10
Remember tis is for the settings on the clamp, do not confuse it with the settings in PS.

Thank you for the reply. I will try that. Sorry for my late response. I need to figure out how to make this form notify me when I get a response.
