Yours is only about 3.0v.
I wonder if that is part of the problem???
( we only saw around 0.3V pk-pk, but agin, i have no idea what is generating the signal )
Also, what was yr timebase?
It looks like 0.1us but if so, is slightly different to what i measured

Hi Andrew,
Yes - their signal has a more negative going section.
It is different to what I measure.
I was very careful to make sure that my zero volt level was correct
on the display & that I was on DC coupled.
I also checked the calibration using the 1 MHz 2 Vpp facility at the front of the CRO.
From the QHY notes I am hoping that the negative part of the waveform is not important.
They only refer to a measurement from zero volts to 2.2 Volts.
They are dealing with the positive half of the waveform.

cheers
Allan
