Title: Pico TA041 Differential Probe
Post by LRT on Jan 14^th, 2015 at 2:19am

I have recently purchased a Pico TA041 Differential Probe.

However, when I connect to a 240 Volt AC portable engine driven power supply, I can only capture the Hz sine wave and not the voltage produced by the power supply.

Also, the sine wave does not fit in the viewing window, even when set at x1 zoom.

What am I doing wrong?

LRT,

PicoScope help is provided in the Picogroup boards. You are a member, so post there for better assistance.

You'll have to deploy a measurement like AC RMS. Make sure your scaling is correct and use an appropriate software probe that matches your TA041 range selection.
