Is it the same, or does some/all of the measurement clean itself up? Just curious to know if it's actually coming from the unit, or if it's radiated from somewhere else. --- End quote --- It's coming from the unit: I've attached an image of the same setup but with the FY6800 switched off at the mains. --- Quote ---You might try enabling the 20MHz bandwidth limit on the scope to knock some of the noise down if those spurs are giving you trouble with triggering. --- End quote --- Yes, I've tried that but it doesn't really clean things up enough. I'm not sure if this is just something that I have to live with. It's a bit of pity if so, as the device itself can generate sub 10 mV signals, but they're swamped in the SMPS noise. --- End quote --- I tried with my unit and the freerunning waveform shows some peaks of around 30mV. That goes down to around 14mV with 20MHz BW limit. If I trigger on the spikes, and zoom into the periodic "noise", I'm getting a 10mV, 6-7Khz nonsense. |

Just how are you getting the signal from the Feeltech into your Rigol? It matters! Some time ago I built a BNC - Probe adapter (can also be brought online) https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/o-scope-probe-to-bnc-adaptor-(dave-uses-on-in-642)-where-to-findbuy/msg2287812/#msg2287812 Fixes a bunch of induced noise source issues compared to incorrectly terminated scope inputs. Have a trawl through this youtube search too https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=oscilloscope+termination |

There's noise at about 44 kHz of about 40 mV pp, which I'm guessing is from the SMPS. My question is: is noise of this magnitude expected from this unit? --- End quote --- I read that other users also have experienced with such noise from switching power supply. It may leak through ground wire, so it may be hard to get rid of it. I think the only way is to replace it with linear power supply, but it will require better ventilation in order to cool down power supply. |

It matters! --- End quote --- I'm not sure how that is relevant to my problem, though. I'm typically taking the signal to a breadboard with the BNC-croc clip cable provided with the FY6800. However, the noise that I see is present at the BNC connector on the device itself; it's not radiated noise that is picked up by the cable. So I can't see how any different cable would improve the situation (unless there's some kind of fancy filtering on it, and I don't think that you're suggesting that?). Maybe I'm misunderstanding you though. Anyway, the figure posted earlier by battlecoder suggests that this noise is not untypical, so I guess I'll have to live with it, unless I can figure out how to replace the power supply. |

I guess that it's a design problem, rather than a one off quirk of my unit. --- Quote ---If I trigger on the spikes, and zoom into the periodic "noise", I'm getting a 10mV, 6-7Khz nonsense. --- End quote --- Not sure what you mean here - what's the "nonsense"? |
