Hello all,
I've got a device with a ttl output which I need to connect to rs232. They sell a 400 euro box to do that, but I figured I can do that cheaper. So, I've got an rs232 to ttl converter and all works fine. I've hooked it up to an oscilloscope (just leaned how to use one). All voltage levels are well within the limits (I wanted to verify the specs and learn how to use an oscilloscope).
Now, I've got a minimum background in (and knowledge of) electronics. Therefore my question: is there something that I have overlooked and could void my warranty (or hurt my device), e.g. sucking too much ampere's, or ... also read a scary story how a x1 probe can hurt your system ... well, I don't know.
Thanks in advance, Maarten
