Hi Doug,

 

               Could it be that there is just a piece of transmission line 
inside the box terminated with a certain impedance?  You might be measuring in 
the middle of this transmission line.

If the input impedance selected on channel A of your oscilloscope is f.e  50 
ohm  and the other input channel has 1Mohm input impedance selected, you will 
measure a different voltage at this particular point (as the measured signal is 
the sum of the direct wave+ reflected wave on this transmission).

 

So far, my guess 😉

 

Greetings,

Bart

Hi All,

Can you explain the result in this video I just made? Scope plots of the same 
two nodes are completely different. Probes and scope are operating normally, no 
problem with the equipment itself.

If you have been to my seminars you know the answer, please do not post the 
answer unless you have not seen this experiment until now.

Hint 1: There are no EM fields radiating from the shielded box affecting the 
probes.
Hint 2: There are no active components inside the box.
