I know oscilloscopes only plot voltage VS Time but I have to ask.
Are there any oscilloscopes that can plot Current Vs Time?

That is what Someone Electro means.QuickStrike said:I don't want to measure current I want to look at the current waveform.

audioguru said:No company would make one and nobody would buy one because it is easy to convert current to voltage with a simple resistor or a current transformer.

this is right with resistiv charges
but it isnt when you have a L or C charge or charge mixt
:?
Styx said:but a resistor will disipate power
clamps are by far the best approach
Styx said:For currents less then say 20A I would use a sense resistor but even then I would look on what it was for, a fixed current level or full current control.
audioguru said:It takes many horses to pull 6000A! :shock: :shock:
I wouldn't put my 'scope near anything that powerful. It hasn't measured anything over a couple of amps. :lol:
