Thanks for watching

very nice description details !

I would not mind the colour if I could have the monochrome layout, which I have just adjusted to. All's good.

@@Elecifun I did a search and on settings you should have the classic layout for the display.

Cheers, I looked through the Display Mode options and found Classic. It looks quiet nice.

@@Elecifun awesome!

fomenting?

Yup... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqqBgpyb3bbXhok.htmlsi=5Y-_lI9rbPnjG6f0 Happy Christmas!

Yes you can! Check out the thumbnail.

Hi Tony.. The 'DP831A' is shown on the front of the PSU. Sounds like CH2 has a short, maybe output transistor. It's hard to say, especially without seeing the fault.

I was gonna charge a battery, like I always do and it did not show the voltage of the battery and complained at first of OVERHEATING so I shut it down and rebooted, but than it was complaining about CH2.... I don't know how much these power supplies cost to repair and or where to send it. What I was able to measure under: Power off- no short anywhere. Power on - 5V/5A has 5.1mV; +30V/2A has 1.03V; -30V/2A has-16.8V Measuring for a short - 5V/5A has a short and -30V/2A has a short. Thanks for your help!

@@tonysfun Make a short video for me, showing from switching on the power and the issues themselves. Make video unlisted if you like and put the link here. I can see in seconds what you are describing and more hopefully. The link will be held for my review invisible to others, unless you want it shared. 👍

All I can say from here is check again, pay attention to the syntax, it works for others.

i think there is a space between MODEL , and the comma

The software on the DP832 is limited. All this does is tell the 832 its a 832A, all good.

@@Elecifun oh okay. I read somewhere that the only difference is just a software upgrade. That obviously what you've done. Beaudy!

Really, how did you find that out?

@@Elecifun well I was researching a product for a new project and it said 1/4 W. I thought wtf does this mean? So I looked up resistors and wattages and there it was. Resistors come in different wattages not just resistances. It's like suddenly finding a piece to a jigsaw puzzle. Lol 😆

@@ElecifunIt an epiphany! :-D

Hi, no I don't sleep in, Iv'e did that for years and it did not help me. I go to bed early and get up early. I have cats that demand I get up early. I have a disorder which I was diagnosed with in the 90's but only found out about when I moved in here. Stems for crazy upbringing.

How you doing?

Yeah I am just finishing one last hack for the Rigol DP832, then audio amplifier with great specs.

@@Elecifun What's the hack on your rigol bt psu??

@@Elecifun Audio amplifier hmm that sounds mighty interesting amigo 🤔 I had a friend years ago that started teaching me a little about electronics. He was 17 back then and I used to visit his place on a regular basis. Anyway he used to show me all his latest projects. One of them was a very complicated class h amplifier not sure if it was a preamp or a power amp. Anyway back then there was no ordering of pcbs. You had to buy chemicals and perf board and etch it yourself. Well that's what he did. After a few weeks he started building it. It was most interesting as he added more and more components to his home built main board. Finally he added the completed board with components to an enclosure. Added the rubber feet, the brushed aluminium case. Light, on off toggle. It look very amateurish yet omnipotent! One day we went into Melbourne to pick up the 16" bass drivers with the mids and the tweeters. It was cool how after weeks he had the speaker boxes assembled with huge holes for the bass drivers. Finally he added the speakers to the boxes and made the cross overs etc. Then that evening he flicked the switch and did some tests. Then he attached a turntable to the preamp and power amplifier. Next thing he put a vinyl record on the turntable. The record starts to turn ... Wow ! The sound was incredible! I'm trying think what he played first?? I think it was Fleetwood Macs "Rumours" album. Wow it was amazing ! It was like we were really sitting in front of a real band. 100W RMS x 2. It wasn't just loud it was very high quality audio. So yeah building an amplifier is a most interesting topic. 🤔 😀 👍

Its more of a mod.. a quiet fan as the Rigol can be a noisy PSU with its stock fan.

Brilliant, you may like this one. I'm not good with wood (no tools) but I can find a good circuit with plenty of documentation for the whole electronic build. 60 Watt into 8 Ohms 100 into 4 Ohm, per channel. I love Fleetwood Mac especially the Rumours album, only on CD, still its great.

Legit...um yeah sure of course. Nothing to see here ; )

@@Elecifun lol 😆 ;-)

I’m sure it’s legit as when you could unlock all the optional extra’s for free, some years back! 😉😅👍🪛

The extras are still unlock-able even with latest firmware.

@@Elecifun Oh, okay, so you gotta pay to get the other features.

I showed how to get the software.
