Well Poynty. We, unlike the Lawrence Tseung prototype have got our resistor cooking at 120 degrees centigrade and we can't measure any energy delivered by the battery...
That is
precisely the reason why your measurements are not adequate.
We're also in the happy position of having Le Croy guarantee the results within certain margins which are well exceeded - provided only we do integral analaysis. Which we do. And with this analysis we get even better results than with the simple mean averaging.
I can assure you, LeCroy will never guarantee that the measurements you are taking with those passive probes to produce power and energy traces are accurate.
We have expert advices endorsing the instrument.
There is nothing wrong or inadequate with the oscilloscope.
Expert advices endorsing the test results.
Whom may that be? If you are referring to the LeCroy guys, that's pure bullshit.
Expert advices endorsing the protocols.
Whom may that be? From what I could gather through your responses on this, your "protocols" are either non-existent, mis-applied, or haphazardly pulled from a hat.
Now you seem to require a differential probe for reasons which I absolutely do not know. I just know that you require this. Perhaps, if it's not an imposition, you could explain this.
Either your memory serves you extremely poorly, or you are attempting to stoke the fire. It has been explained to you several times, and you have in your possession a document which I produced that outlines the problems associated with measuring the voltage and current in these circuits using an oscilloscope, and it provides a graduated process for improving the accuracy of these said measurements.
I'm reasonably satisfied that the Lawrence Tseung Prototype circuit is not that much different to our own. My guess is that it's claiming the use of some kind of back emf principle. Why do they not need differential probes?
Yes there are similarities, but then you should know that. Who said that it
doesn't require the same precision and care as yours does
IF it was to be measured with an oscilloscope? (currently, the Professor has chosen to use the thermal-couple technique espoused by ION, and I fully support that method, if performed correctly.)
Because their numbers are too marginal in the first instance? Which surely means that if they were good enough then that probe would have been required? Which actually means that any circuit must first be tested with differential probes. Which, by my reckoning - puts every possible OU claim out of reach of the pockets of the most of your contributors here.
Because the circuit exhibits a similar pattern of transients which are troublesome to acquiring accurate measurements. You can not go wrong using the proper tools for the job. If the circuit operates at a low enough frequency (including rise/fall times) and power, then it
may be possible to acquire usable measurements with a good set of passive probes, depending on the characteristics and dynamics of the circuit.
You see - what's intriguing to me is that Stefan also will not allow us to publish that report.
Without first analyzing the data, results, and conclusions, yes he would be wise not to.
I'm of the opinion that our report would first need to should be vetted by acknowledged experts and then published by them. Hopefully we'll manage this. Or some variation of this.
Finally, some sensible mentation! I've advised this several times. But "variations" are not advised. Get a
real expert.
Certainly, as I said, to publish on any of these open forums is a certain recipe for failure. And it's not as if everyone's objections here are reasonable. It's only required that they're voiced. And why not? It's a forum. That's it's beauty. It does not need to actively advance anything. It just needs to be representative of the interests of the controlling members.

Sounds hopelessly despondent. We're not here to satisfy the "controlling members". Part of what needs to be represented here is truth, integrity, and objectivity. A tiny dash of humility on your part wouldn't hurt.
If you're dissatisfied with this forum to the degree which emanates from your posts, I would encourage you to find more suitable ground.
