I was asked by the sales person to make a post on this forum about my issue with the BNC adaptor that I got from one of the vendor.
Setup:
The current setup is attaching the Analog Discovery 2 (AD2) with the BNC Adaptor. We use the Waveform software and connect the AD2 via USB to our laptop.
We try to conduct a basic connectivity test by connecting the oscilloscope probe into CH1 and have it set to DC. We set the oscilloscope to 10x on the probe itself. For W1 on the BNC adaptor, we attach a BNC cable with two alligator clips (red and black). We set it to 0 ohms setting. We clip the red alligator clip with the main oscilloscope probe and the ground probe of the oscilloscope to the black alligator clip. We are testing if it can produce simple square waves.
On the Waveform software, we create a new Wavegen tool instance in Waveforms and set the W1 to output a 1 kHz, 1 V amplitude square wave with 0 V of DC offset. Next, we create a new Scope tool instance in Waveforms and make sure that the attenuation for the channel you are using is set to 10X by clicking the gear icon next to the channel name on the right-hand side of the Waveforms window. Click the run button and adjust the voltage and time scales until approximately two square periods of the compensation waveform are clearly visible.
Issue:
We want to make sure the other inputs (W2 and CH2) can do the same thing. However, I try several times and it only produces noises instead of seeing 2 square periods of the compensation waveform. I try to zoom into the signal in case it was too small to see, but it still only outputs noises. For the W1 and CH1, it clearly works since it actually does generate the two square periods of the compensation waveform.
