Posted July 17, 200916 yr Can any one post a tutorial( or show where one is) on how to set up the gains using a oscilloscope ???? ! would like to set up my stereo that way if i could figure it out.
July 17, 200916 yr Hook up the oscope inputs to the outputs of the amplifier, play a 50 hz test tone, turn up amplifier gain until the tops of the sine waves on the oscope get chopped off.
July 17, 200916 yr it would help knowing what brand and model oscope ... most do not have an auto adjust feature and u need to manually change the settings to see the wave ... mine is autoset =)
July 17, 200916 yr hey man here is my setup for what i did to bench test an amp! I have a oscope, function generator (to make the 50hz tone) a battery for power and some resistor to dissopate the power i also have a 12volt supply for the REM. to set your gain i don't think you would need to use a resistor bank or a sub but i coould be wrong. I used a resistor bank b/c using a sub would screw up my results. anyways long story short i think the amp was shyt so i couldn't do a test lol. chekc it out! keep in mind when you are doing your gain setting you will be in the car and you will have your h/u and a battery so you will not be using a function generator, 12volt supply (REM), resistor bank.
July 17, 200916 yr o and one more thing you will need a 10x prob!if you have any question you can p/m. I know i am a smart kid but if i can help i can help! Edited July 17, 200916 yr by CrazyKenKid
July 18, 200916 yr Author im looking to get one a handheld what is a good one for under 300 dollars???
July 18, 200916 yr if fluke makes one then i would buy that one but under 300$ you might have a hard time
July 18, 200916 yr im looking to get one a handheld what is a good one for under 300 dollars???Velleman HPS10. ~$150 IIRC

July 18, 200916 yr Author one more question if i do that what happens when i set up my eq ???? do i just forget about it leave everything at o on the deck ???
