Nature of the problemRecently, while upgrading my solar garden shed PV installation a problem popped up with DC loads connected to the new Renogy MPPT charge controller. The original system had a single 10W 120 VAC LED light fixture in the cent...
The Pico Oscilloscope RoadTest Review is currently in a holding pattern due to a shipping error. I figured I would fill the wait time by sharing the methodology or my approach for the RoadTest. I value the input from members. On past RoadTest their c...
(NB All this is based on personal recollections and dates must not be relied upon too much. It’s all opinion and my experiences - if you need facts then check them !) By now you may have realised that a little mix-up has resulted in ...
This is a first posting in a blog series supporting a RoadTest Review of PicoScope 6424E Oscilloscope. While waiting for a replacement oscilloscope (PicoScope 6424E Oscilloscope + Accessories: The Application ) to substitute for the unit shipped...
This blog post covers my experiences using the MSOX3034T to measure low power radiated RF signals. The challenge this time is to have the Keysight 'scope help me learn about RF signals broadcast by a simple handheld RF remote control. ...
Well I'm going to call it official, that I am one of three candidates for this RoadTest. I'm assuming if you accept the offer and the equipment shows up at your door then it is official, even though there hasn't been any announcement on the RoadTest ...
This bog post continues my exploration of the MSOX3034T in the realm of slow speed digital signal analysis. In the previous blog post I used I2C decode capabilities in the MSOX3034T to examine transfers of data between a PIC microcontroller and a Rea...
In this post I relate my experiences using the Keysight MSOX3034TMSOX3034T and a Tektronix MDO4000 series instrument to decode I2C data packets. The use case I explore in this post posed some measurement challenges, mostly due to fairly lengthy...
I've been pondering how to utilize the features of the Power Defense Circuit breaker.Here's a link to the Eaton site for this breakerhttps://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/skuPage.PDG23F0060P2MJ.html The first challenge was to figure out all the loos...
What is an oscilloscope meant to do? My research into the etymology of the word oscilloscope suggests that it is a device for observing, or examining, signals that swing, or oscillate. At least that was the essence of the definition at the time...
I have two basic criteria that have to be met before I will apply for a roadtest:The item being roadtested needs align with my interests and it needs to provide sufficient value relative to the amount of effort that would be required to roadtest it.&...
Hello community members! I have spent a few hours exploring the MSOX3034TMSOX3034T, just enough time to get acquainted with its general behavior. I set it up next to an oscilloscope I know very well; the Tektronix MDO4104-3. The photo belo...
This is the fifth instalment in a series of blog posts to support a RoadTest Review of the ACCESS:bit for micro:bit. The review is being conducted by a student from a high school computer club. Details on how the RoadTest is being conducted can be fo...
This will be the last hardware design performance test that I'll be running for the roadtest. This is the SATA performance test: UltraZed-EV-RD-SATA_PerformanceThe link provides a pre-built PetaLinux image with an included test script drive-test...
Hello Everybody! This is my first blog post part of my RoadTest of the Keysight InfiniiVision MSOX3034TMSOX3034T Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO). First of all, thank you Keysight and Element 14 for providing me this great instrument! I'm p...
I'll need to do this road test in parts, because it may get complicated.The first task is installation. This will require removal of the existing breaker and replace it with the Power Defense breaker.The PDG23F0060P2MJ is a frame size large...
I am continuing to run through existing performance tests in parallel with starting to integrate the elements of my project. This is the network performance test: UltraZed-EV-RD_Ethernet_Performance_TestThe performance tests use iperf3: https://...
I had mentioned in a prior post that I was having a bit more trouble using GStreamer than I had anticipated. I had some problems using the udpsink and udpsrc elements that were used for the RTPStreaming demo. It turns out that was actuall...

I've been posting about the UltraZed-EV roadtest and realized that I should have provided an overview first to put my posts in context. I've wanted to design a home security/video surveillance system for a while. I have a mix of di...
In my previous post Avnet UltraZed-EV Starter Kit Road Test - Port PYNQv2.5 , I had ported PYNQv2.5 to the UltraZed-EV using the PetaLinux BSP (uz7ev_evcc_2019_1.bsp) which is for the OOB design. This verifies the porting process works but now ...
