Hello,
Thanks a lot to everybody for your answers
I know how to use a scope and the difference between VRMS and Vpp.
How did I test the HP 3325A ?
- I connect it to a scope : Metrix OX8042 (with a BNC cable)
- F selected : 1000 Hz
- Amplitude : push "AMPTD" then push key "1" than key "MHz Volts"
- Reading amplitude on the screen of the scope : 2 Vpp
I've done this also with a Picoscope : same result (and for many amplitude values and many frequencies).
I've done also the test with the scope probe... same results...
But if I put a
300 ohms resistor à the middle of the cable (between ground and signal of course), I can read the good values for every amplitudes and every frequencies... Well it's not perfect : for very small amplitudes it doesn't fit exactly the value that I have programmed on the 3325A, but since approximately 5 mVpp to 10 Vpp it's OK.
The only way for me is to put a
300 ohms resistor load... and not a
50 ohms... that's strange...
