Hello everyone,
This is my first post here at eevlog.com. I am an electrician by trade and starting to learn electronics just because I can to satisfy my inner geek. I am expeditiously learning to use my scope in order to address an issue at work.
I need to log a millivolt signal generated by a Fluke i410 Amp Clamp. Without going into details, this is the only way I can log the issues, and do not have ready access to the right equipment. It has its own power source that generates 1mV per amp. I have the scope set up to read the signal and have verified its accuracy with a separate amp clamp. The issue comes when I set up the scope to log measurements which I do believe i followed the instructions in both the owner's manual and instructions I found written by Siglent for Measurement logging. The measurement appears on the right screen showing the appropriate channel but the readings are all showing "---" along with other measurements that I did not select but are showing up on the right side with the one I did set up.
The signal is a little dirty and the frequency fluctuates wildly because of it I would imagine. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and is there a way to clean up the picture? I would imagine there is but it will take a bit of time to sit down and really learn how to do so which I do not have time currently to do so. The Owner's manual is too basic. Because of the "noise," I can not do a sample logging but if there is a way to clean up the noise, I might be able to. As is, it's too much or the scope is too good as is so I need to "tone it done" some to go that route. I do not have access to a PQ logging meter and it almost takes an act of Congress to purchase one which again, I do not have time for.
EDIT: I figured out how to add the pictures. I also set up the scope with a different measurement and was able to successfully log the measurement so I am certain that the issue is all the background noise messing with my scope. I need a way to filter it out if possible.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance!
