To scope or Not to Scope, Grounds, Is my question. (Read 203 times)

TrevorSchlientz Autonerdz Administrator Picogroup Offline I'm an Autonerd Posts: 1,403 Grand Rapids Michigan USA Gender:	To scope or Not to Scope, Grounds, Is my question. Jun 15^th, 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.
