  • Component Tester (V-I Curve Tracer) Using The Oscilloscope XY Mode
    In this video, I've talked about the XY mode/feature of a Siglent SDS1104X-E oscilloscope and used it in a combination with a Siglent SDG1025 waveform generator to show how you can build an interesting component tester (V-I curve tracer) to test silicone diodes, Zener Diodes, Schottky diodes, LEDs, Resistors, transistors, capacitors .. etc. Also, you can use it to learn about the behavior of the components and semiconductors. You only need to follow a very simple circuit (schematic) and hock the probes to the correct circuit points.
    In the video, I have tested these components: 330-ohm resistor, 1N4007 diode, 1N4148 diode, 1N5819 Schottky diode, a white LED and a green LED. the memory depth of the oscilloscope was set on 7M.

    In the schematics a voltage of 10VPP is applied, now if i do a component test in circuit will this not affect my devices. MY board operates at 5VDC.

    • @MyVanitar
      @MyVanitar  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      in the schematic, I did not show the 10Vpp, it is general. it was my own setup to test a 9V Zener probably. you have to change the input based on your requirement, I should not tell you everything.

  • @sanjayparelkar3912
    @sanjayparelkar3912 ปีที่แล้ว

    When i am doing in circuit measurement and doing resistance measurement i see the waveform for resistor comes like zener diode. Is this due to all component inter connected? If so how to conclude it.

    • @MyVanitar
      @MyVanitar  ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no idea. in my case, it shows a line crossing the center, where the slope is the resistance. this circuit is very basic.

    • @bbushong67
      @bbushong67 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, if you're going to test a single component, it needs to be isolated from the circuit. You're likely seeing the other components. The signal going in is AC low voltage, so any transistors, diodes, zeners, or ICs that are connected will change the output. These 'testers' are really for individual components, not really calibrated or suitable for in-circuit testing. If you're testing a rectifier diode, it should look a certain way. A zener has a different look, and a resistor has yet a different look. That's basically what it tells you.

    • @MyVanitar
      @MyVanitar  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      90% of the time, when resistors fail, they burn and get black. it means you will notice this from the visual inspection. 70% of the time, electrolytic capacitors show some kind of bulge on their head when they fail, however not all the time. sometimes they get dried out internally. the easiest method is to just take them out and test them. just two pins!

    • @MyVanitar
      @MyVanitar  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think using the 1KHz signal will put some stress on the waveform generator output, because the load is just a 10 ohm resistor. You can forget about the waveform generator and use a simple step-down 220V-12V or 9V or 6V AC transformer as it delivers a 50Hz sine wave.

I found your video because I was looking for how to connect it! It's been a few years and I forgot the setting on the oscilloscope (X/Y, etc)... But I used a 120VAC to 6.3VAC transformer, which is safe for just about anything, I believe.

    Hii
    This tester is very simple. You just need to make two-lead sine wave generators. x.y -0-180 degree phase angle inverse sine. Drive with popular ic8038 and even better ad9833 generator .or simple oscillator .transformer or transformerless .opamp. voltage is adjustable from 5v ac to 24v and frequency from 50hz to 1000hz. current should not exceed 1ma to 5mA. it is enough to know the logic of a resistor and a coil.
