I’m using a Tenma 30v /3A bench power supply Just connected to live and neutral outputs at 5v setting Guessing that hooking onto 0v on my breadboard gives me my reference base |

Those terms are pretty much exclusively used for mains power. If you use them for power supply outputs, many people are going to think "mains" and go into "protect the newbie" mode, giving you all sorts of warnings that aren't going to make sense. |

If you are new to scopes, then this is worth watching (pretty much a standard recommendation, in fact)... |

:-+ That's much better. Everyone will understand that immediately. |
