Title: To scope or Not to Scope, Grounds, Is my question.
Post by TrevorSchlientz on Jun 15th, 2016 at 9:29am
I'd like to ask what method do you all use for verifying grounds?

The Boss demands all grounds be voltage drop tested using a DVOM, not a scope. I understand that grounds always look hairy and noisy but with some simple filtering that can be eliminated. Is there a setting that numbs a scope to act just like a DVOM?

It depends...

I do it both ways.

You can use the measurement option and enlarge the #s

Hi Mick! I don't think I wrote what you quoted above.

Have a good day

That is a technique I will need to start practicing.

Thank you Mick  [smiley=notworthy.gif]
