Default Re: Frequency counters

The probes were fully compensated in 10x mode and they were directly connected to the output sockets of the signal generator, no other length of co-ax or other cable was involved. This was done to minimise the chances of errors creeping in to contaminate the information I give to you guys.

You have so much more experience in this field that I have or ever likely to get. My expertise is in electrical engineering having been in that field all my working life. Now I've effectively it seems, retired I have decided to resurrect my interest in electronics so I'm sort of relying on you guys for advise and support when my knowledge is not sufficient.

The interesting point here is that there was discernable difference in the wave form displayed and its measurement when the probes were switched between 1x and 10x once the appropriate volts/div correction had been made on the range switch.
