Always wondered why the scope guys never thought of using the resistance colour codes. Maybe 2=red and 3=orange is difficult to discern. For two channels there used to be a sort of standard: L (1) = yellow and R (2) = red. However, today many manufacturers have decided against this "standard". Just look at your headphone, speaker outputs etc. |

A friend of mine who can distinguish neither green nor red once had to wire up a UTP cable, and to her the brown, red, orange and green wires all looked like shades of brown. |

In one case you have a dark pattern and in the other case you have a light pattern as a visual identifier in addition to the color. |

This was a very poor decision from Rigol... --- End quote --- Show me one oscilloscope from the other manufacturers, that has a green color on a channel! --- End quote --- Picoscope! |
