FAQ on Capturing I_Coil Waveform Using GRL-C3-MP-TPR Tester

Q: How to Capture the I_Coil Waveform Using the GRL-C3-MP-TPR Tester?

A:

The AC current measurement fixture by GRL can be used to measure the actual coil current as shown in the image below.

Below is a sample screenshot of the I_Coil capture which displays the voltage, not current in amps, if you probe the I_Coil. 

For example:  

Ipp = Vpp/(10*.02)  

10 is the amplifier gain  

0.02 is the series resistor value
