• RE: DPO7254 Fails SPC, all channels seem to work

    I was able to locate the error logs, seems like SPC is failing due to a missing trigger on channel one? Channel one trigger seems to work fine though. Here is the error log:

  • RE: DPO7254 Fails SPC, all channels seem to work

    I took it apart and checked resistance on all relays. I powered them up one by one and they all are within 0.1Ohm between contacts. I’d like to see what the reason for the failed SPC so I can at least have an idea what channel is causing it. 
  • RE: DPO7254 Fails SPC, all channels seem to work

    I seen that already but I guess I’m missing something. The diagnostics tests do not have any faults. Thanks for the response.
  • DPO7254 Fails SPC, all channels seem to work

    I bought a DPO7254 oscilloscope that seems to work fine except that it keeps falling an SPC. All the channels seem to work. The only thing I see is that channel 2 and channel 4 are not exactly on 0 but maybe 1.5mV lower then 0. 
    How can I get the error codes to see why the SPC is failing?
