Rosemary:

I'm not going to play a game of chess with you about this.  I will assume that the readers are assuming just like me, that in fact you are unable to answer the question.

If you can't answer the question then we can conclude that you don't understand how the function generator works.  Since you don't understand how the function generator works then you are not able to pass any judgements on whether or not current is flowing through the function generator when your circuit is running in negative offset oscillation mode.

So I can suggest to you that you either answer the question and show your work or you admit to us that you can't answer the question and ask for our help.

The goal would be to get you to understand how current can flow straight through the function generator just like it does in your circuit.

MileHigh

In which case MileHigh we should be able to prove that experimentally.  I intend to do so. The thing you are trying to imply is that our results are skewed as a result of this.  I KNOW that they are NOT.

Rosemary,

Please do experimentally verify that current can both pass through and/or be provided by a function generator.  You need not take anyone's word for that.  It would take very little time to do the experiments necessary to prove that a function generator can both source and sink current, and that it can also be placed in series with a power supply or battery and allow current to flow through it.  Feel free to ask if you need advisement regarding how to perform these tests.  There is little point in arguing about such well known and easily verified facts regarding a function generator.       


You can also quite easily verify my explanation to you of the "ofs" readings on the LeCroy.  Just turn the LeCroy on, you needn't apply any signal.  Set up the scope to display one or more traces on the screen.  Select a channel and adjust the offset control for that channel.  You will see that channel's horizontal trace move up and down the face of the screen verticaly.  As you do so, the "ofs" numbers will increase positive and negative as you move the trace above or below the screen's horizontal center line.  If you press on the end of the offset control, it will cause that trace to return to the center of the screen and the "ofs" number will as well return to zero.

I am well aware of the fact that the signal generator can induce a current flow in the circuit.  That was not the issue.  The issue was whether or not it added to or subtracted from the energy at the battery supply.  If it adds any significant amount then that would need to be quantified against our gains.  Since there's no point in speculating on this we intend to test it experimentally.  And I assure you that there are more than enough skilled in the art - to sort out the required test.       

You can also quite easily verify my explanation to you of the "ofs" readings on the LeCroy.  Just turn the LeCroy on, you needn't apply any signal.  Set up the scope to display one or more traces on the screen.  Select a channel and adjust the offset control for that channel.  You will see that channel's horizontal trace move up and down the face of the screen verticaly.  As you do so, the "ofs" numbers will increase positive and negative as you move the trace above or below the screen's horizontal center line.  If you press on the end of the offset control, it will cause that trace to return to the center of the screen and the "ofs" number will as well return to zero.
I was rather hoping for an honest response in my answer to you regarding the ofs on the display.  It seems rather that you've used this as an opportunity to try and advise our readers that I did not know those rather elementary functions on an instrument that I've used continually for some 2 years now.  Do you still doubt that those voltage values represent the peak to peak voltages - on an AC coupled value?  Because that's what you asked.  And that's what I answered. And you most certainly did NOT read their values as AC.  Considering the level of your alleged expertise one would have thought you'd know better. I didn't know the answer.  But I'm not the expert.

And from memory you asked this seven times or thereby with a sense of outrage and censure that I was not 'jumping' sufficiently quickly - to attention.  You said words to the effect 'If you're not going to answer me - then let me know'.  And that was between the 39 posts from your acolytes while they attacked me for an alleged misrepresentation of the voltage value at the gate - as per your advices.  And all of those posts in the space of about 12 hours.  Charming - I'm sure.  Is that how you 'big boys' deal with things?  Pretend to know everything - and compound the pretense by giving unsolicited and inappropriate advice?  Because that way you can also exaggerate my incompetence.  It's very effective PW or whoever you are.

Rosemary,

I did indeed provide an honest response to your questions regarding the "ofs" numbers on the LeCroy.  As well, I have provided you with the procedure to verify that answer in my last post.  And again, the offset numbers have nothing to do with "AC" or a "peak to peak" value.

I KNOW that the offset has nothing to do with peak to peak.  It has everything to do with that AC coupled value.  And the AC coupled value relates to PEAK TO PEAK.  It is applicable to the gate voltage.  You insisted on reading it as DC.  My advices were that you should be applying AC.  In which case the actual voltage across the gate is LESS THAN the value displayed as DC.  And we never apply any adjustments once the coupling has been chosen.  Therefore there is NO ADJUSTMENT made to the traces anywhere at all that is not determined by the machine.  And it is well able to determine zero.

Isn't the object here to determine the actual voltage across the gate?  Wasn't that the point of your question in the first instance?  Has this NOT been answered to your satisfaction?  Are you still implying that the voltage on the DC Coupled value is correct?  If so - and if you're satisfied that the DC voltage has been misrepresented - then I have run out of answers.  Because that's the best advice that I have been given.  By an IMPARTIAL EXPERT.  It may well be that I have not understood that answer sufficiently.  But overall and what I most certainly have had explained - is that the VALUE IS CORRECT - provided that you take the voltage reading as an AC value and NOT a DC value.  Because that incorporates the offset value.  I'm afraid that's the best I can do.

Rosemary,

Referring to FIG 3 of your first paper, during the portion of the cycle wherein the output of the function generator is a positive voltage, what is the voltage indicated on channel 3 by the scope capture?

I see it at 1.25 major divisions above the zero volt reference, which is the little line with the number 3 above it to the left of the screen.  Channel 3 is set to indicate 10volts per division.  1.25 divisions times 10volts represents 12.5volts.  That is telling me that during the portion of the cycle wherein the generator swings positive, it is attaining a positive voltage of 12.5 volts.

What voltage do you read that point in the cycle as being?

In the first instance that display was to determine the applied frequency.  Not the voltage.  In the second instance - the DC voltage is NOT applicable.  Therefore - the voltage across the gate should be read as an AC voltage.  That's the advices that I was given.  Left to my own devices then I would say that the zero crossing line is midway between the peaks of the voltages displayed and the voltage should be read accordingly.  Therefore the value is something less than 6 volts.  And this adjustment because the signal from the generator is NOT DC but AC. 

Now - PicoWatt - let me know something from you.  I'd like to see it again - in black and white.  You have advised us that actually the offset as displayed needs to be applied to ALL values.  Let me know what you mean?  Are you suggesting that we must adjust the battery voltage from the mean average voltage displayed as DC to that -170 odd volts shown in the ofs display number?  And equally - are we to determine the voltage across the shunt to be offset by some 4 volts positive as displayed in that offset box?  Let me know.  Then I'll take your argument straight to my expert for comment.  It will be most entertaining.

Again,
Rosemary

I had to scroll back 8 pages to find this file reference.  That's how long it's been that this has been discussed.  Which says much about the value of discussion on this matter.  It's circular and going nowhere.

You've exceeded her math capability with that question.
That's why her answer is word salad and refers to her "expert". She cannot read an oscilloscope unless it has numbers in boxes. I know this is hard for you to believe, but by now you must realize it is true. Else, why can't she just come out and say, 1 and a quarter divisions, at 10 volts per division, equals 12.5 volts. It's because she doesn't understand what a division on the screen means, or even what a "tick mark" is.

Rosemary,

I must respectfully disagree with the answer you have given.  The voltage indicated on the FIG 3 capture for channel 3 during the portion of the cycle wherein the function generator output is a positive value is shown as approximately +12.5 volts.

I would like to see as well where I said that the offset value must be added to anything.  I did no such thing.  I believe it was you that stated I must somehow use the "ofs" numbers to measure or correct my values from the screen.

Regarding the -172volt offset indicated for channel 2 in that same FIG 3 scope capture, the -172volts is merely telling us how far down the position of the channel 2 zero volts line is from the center of the screen.

Referring again to FIG 3, the zero volt reference indicator to the left of the screen for channel 2 is 1.72 major divisions below the center of the screen.  The vertical sensitivity of channel 2 is set to 100volts per division.  1.72 divisions times 100volts per division is -172volts.  Therefore the zero volts reference line (and indicator) has been positioned (via the offset control) at -172volts below the center of the screen.  And that is what and all the "ofs" numbers are saying.

As to what the indicated battery voltage is.  During the portion of the cycle wherein the function generator is a positive voltage, I see the battery voltage trace (channel 2) as being approximately 2.5 minor divisions above the channel 2 zero volt reference line (again, the indicator to the left of the screen).  Channel 2 is set to 100volts per division.  There are four minor divisions per major division so each minor division equals one fourth of 100volts, which is 25volts.  2.5 minor divisions times 25 volts equals 62.5 volts, which is in close agreeent with the indicated 65volt mean value.

No where in estimating the voltages from optically reading the traces on the screen did I need, use, or require the "ofs" number.

All that is required to read a value off the screen is the "zero reference line" indicated to the left of the screen and the "volts per division" setting for the channel I am measuring.

Here, PicoWatt. Maybe this will help you explain the offset to Rosemary. Maybe not.

Rosemary, do you realise that the Tek oscilloscope doesn't even display the offset value in a box on the screen, because it is generally of no use or interest to the user? The Zero levels are indicated, of course, but it is up to the user to count the tick marks from the scope's center line to the channel marker if the offset value is, for some strange reason, needed.

In the LeCroy diagram below, from the demo, the offset of the GREEN channel, the common mosfet drains, is explained. The offset value read in the channel settings box is nothing more than the "distance" that the channel's zero marker has been moved from SCREEN CENTER. It has nothing to do with what is traced on the channel. This number will be the SAME no matter what the waveform in the trace is, flatline or the most complex you can imagine... because all it is telling you is how far down or up the trace has been moved-- with the vertical position knob-- from the screen's exact centerline. It has NOTHING to do with the waveform or the values of the waveform's parameters.
You can see that the distance in volts, using that channel's scale, down from center, is the offset value given in the box.

You can prove this for yourself, Rosemary, if you have the scope handy. Just turn it on , don't give it any input, and wiggle the channel position knobs. You will see that the offset value given in the box depends only on where that little zero marker under the channel number on the left side of the screen is, relative to the center of the screen, and scaled by the channel volts per division setting. It has nothing whatever to do with the waveform at all.

TK,

Although I appreciate your assistance, I was hoping Rosemary and I could have a quiet discussion regarding the points raised.  Surely she has a copy of her paper and the FIG 3 I have been referencing.

I would like to resolve the value readings with her regarding the LeCroy as that is the the scope used in the captures discussed.

But thank-you for your efforts,

Rosemary, just considering that very brief portion of the rectangular gate drive pulse that is at its highest value, and not oscillating.... is that portion of the signal DC, or not? I'm talking about a single pulse, just the highest portion, that straight line that persists until the signal drops again and oscillates. DC, or not?

Rosemary,

The scope captures discussed were from your papers.  I do not understand how you can think in any way that discussions related to values indicated by those captures are of little value to you or replicators.

The discussions related to values indicated are only "circular" as you say, because you disagree with how I am reading the captures.

I believe this began when I stated that the channel 3 trace in FIG 3 was at +12.5 volts during the portion of the cycle wherein the function generator output is a positive voltage, and I continue to stand by that statement.

Howdy members and guests,

After the repeated requests for Donovan Martin's input the main known NERD RAT collaborator in the two papers or manuscripts Rosemary submitted to accredited journals or magazines for possible peer review and publication. I couldn't believe how fast that sharp shovel of Rosemary's with dirt a flying everywhere and went to bury my post under her eighteen (18) in a row postings .... some kind of Rosemary's weird cryptic shorthand script which on it's face is really disturbing the context of the posts.  :o

Poynty - Donny is NOT working on this.  He's working on other things. His time spent on this subject is very constrained. He'll only be able to concentrate time on this subject when we get formal research funding. He has a young family to support and works 24/7 on his own inventions that are absolutely cutting edge.  Mostly related to improvements on traditional energy savings and water savings.  But as in most 'new technologies' he has to forge all kinds of software and suchlike to get it all going.But he absolutely CANNOT afford time on something as radical as our tests because they do not YET carry enough credibility to afford research funding.  When they do - then he'll come to the party full time.  It's his passion.  But he does not believe in the value of forums although he believes in Open Source.  Not many do believe in the value of forums.  And considering my own history - it's probably a fair concern.  I only stick to it because I believe dialogue has a way of getting to those fundamental issues as well as a means of spreading the word.

Kindest again,
Rosie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It appears to me that Donovan Martin's name was added to the papers in a attempt to give them some kind of blanket credibility but that cant be true at all when he didn't even work on the COP>INFINITY project in any way shape or form. No wonder he has been a "NO" show at the OU forum and impossible to reach through e-mails for comments on the device, testing and evaluation he did .... there wasn't any he did just students at CUPT in South Africa. I guess a claim of a COP>INFINITY wasn't good enough for Donovan Martin unless it had cash attached to it.

Cheers,
