Example 4. It looks your capacitor is set to "1k" (or, 1,000 μF). That being the case, your time RC constant is 1MΩ X 0.001F which gives an RC time constant of 1,000 seconds, or 5,000 seconds for 98% charge (or 1 hour and 13 minutes). As a result, your trace was only 5 nanovolts (5 millionths of a volt) above zero after 5 seconds. And too, it looks like a straight line because for that brief a period ( 1/1000ths of the RC constant) it should.
Sorry, I'm breaking this down into sections, cap was at 10k not 1k but I'll change it to one then try & work out values as you've put some sums to it
Unbelivable, your right, it works everytime **broken link removed** so what is 7G in time **broken link removed** this is where I start learning **broken link removed**
