At 70 I decided to learn EE in order to keep my mind sharp. This forum, Kahn Academy and USN are my main resources. THANK YOU!! Anyway, I have the above equipment and have carefully calibrated the scope to the 501A. Saved the setup as a named setup. If I read this right, the 1ma trace reveals a Beta of about 120 (which matches my transistor tester) by reading the smaller graduations as .5 ma/div. I get the same result interpreting the 2ma/div by reading the small graduations as 1.0 ma/div and dividing by 20uA per step. I also get the same Hfe by interpreting the 1ma/div 20uA per step; reading the small grads as .5mA. Am I doing this right? I was a voced student in HS and was taught using the USN course and I am checking my measurement skills. Regards, Dewey |
