DL850 ScopeCorder - How to maximize repeatability of Phase Measurements
Use a direct-input if possible; this will remove the delay due to passive-probes 700929 being different between a pair of input channels (in phase response);
Be sure INPUT COUPLING is set properly; it is easy to overlook; so, if you do use an input probe, be sure to set to 10:1, as an example.
Set your V/DIV or SPAN up so as to maximize VERTICAL RESOLUTION - us as near to 20 vertical divisions as possible; this will decrease the influence of noise on the zero-crossing measurement of each waveform.
Optional: using a BW-limiting filter at the front-end would further improve stability; it may actually (in theory) introduce some detectable phase-shift, so be sure to use the same filter on both channels if filtering is desirable.
Yokogawa data acquisition systems give you the most flexibility and power to measure, display, store, and even actuate any number of physical or electrical phenomena.
