And to save having to go via a 3rd Party, here original is the Software from the link in the PDF on the QEX magazine Server http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QEX%20Binaries/06_July/7x06Steber.zip
Out of interest for those worried, as I was, that this software dates from 2006, I can confirm that it runs perfectly on WIN 7-64Bit so probably will on WIN 8 too.

Cheers

Hi, I built the octopus circuit according to the attached file diagram.

My scope is a Rigol 1054Z. My small problem is that I find that I have to invert BOTH X and Y channel in order to get the 'correct' shapes for the graphs.

I have checked my connections and I think they are correct. If I just invert the Y channel (vertical/current) input I get a mirrored image (along the x-axis), so for eg. for a resistor instead of a positive slope line I get a negative slope line. Does anyone have a clue whats going on? I can post screenshots from the scope later.

Aurora, I know that this thread is  a bit old and it spans a few years. Is it still possible to get the TR210 schematic from you? I have the user and service manuals.

If you can't post it here, PM me and I'll give you an email address to send it to.

Thanks.

Hey alan,
Thanks for the video, I've never stopped to think how the component test function worked (well actually I had, but I would've never of guessed it was so simple!). Brilliant! Just found out my DSO also has an XY mode (apparently called "versus"). Will miss the CRO built in tester... :P

I guess I'll need to find a nice little trasnformer and a write it down as another little project  :-+ I wonder if a variable frequency would be usefull, 50, 60, 100, 120, 400, 1000Hz... :-/O

Cheers!
