_Wim_:
Looking at your pictures, I see that is was just your drawing stating the incorrect connection. But I also see in your picture you are using a scope probe to connect the signal generator to the reference resistor. This is not ok, as scope probes use resistive coax which can have quite a bit of resistance. Use a BNC cable with crocodile clips or something similar instead.

I would even recommend not to use scope probes for channel A & B also, but this should have less negative impact and the connection with the signal generator. However, I never used scope probes myself, I just used short BNC cables or a test jig...

Here's something that one might find useful using a SDS2000X DSO for Impedance Measurements.

Best,

Cykeltur:
ok so i have skipped the probe för the generator side, THANKS :-+, then from the generator, I have tryed 2 options (like in the manual and in your revommendation):

option 1:
Gennerator to B probe "red" and then also from Gennerator thru the ref resistor (120 ohm).
on the other side of the Rref I have the A probe"blue" and also from the other side of the Rref i have connected the DUKin.
then thru the DUK to DUKout, to GND clip on proBe A and B.

same result :-/

then i have altso tryed the  ;
option 2:
Gennerator to A probe "blue" and then also from Gennerator thru the ref resistor (120 ohm).
on the other side of the Rref I have the B probe"red" and also from the other side of the Rref i have connected the DUTin.
then thru the DUT to DUTout, to GND clip on probe A and B.

odd result :-/

the DUT has red and black cables in the picture, same as before,

If the software is still configured as in the attached screenshot, then you should use option 2. I am however not sure what is exactly wrong, but a few suggestions to figure is out:

- 1) while everything is connected like in option 2, just use your picoscope software and generate a 1kHz sine signal of 1V. Take a screenshot of the signals you see on channel A and channel B. Repeat while generating a 20kHz sine signal. This should give us an idea what the scope actually sees and hopefully make the issue more clear.
- 2) instead of connecting an RLC as the DUT, please only use a known resistor or known capacitor and measure the impedance. This will also make it easier to understand the results.
