Hi everyone,
I've been using one of those cheap digital storage oscilloscopes
(Protek DSO-2090) that plugs into your computer's USB port. I think
maybe I'm beginning to see one of the downsides of this type of
device. Either that or my circuit is really messed up--that's what
I'd like to find out!
If I measure two signals around 7mhz using the two channels I have
available, does the phase angle between the two signals that I see on
the screen represent what's actually going on in my circuit? Or just
some variable latency in the connection between the scope and my PC?
With the differential amplifier I'm testing right now I can see that
the phase angle between the two outputs is around 180 degrees on
average, but it varies wildly--so much so that at some moments the two
outputs are nearly in phase. I'm not sure if that is what's really
happening in the circuit.
Thanks a lot!
Kyle
