BNC+ Resistance Lead v Multi-Meter

[@stephanevaucelles6378]

hello thank for video

[@rrmech11]

Nice job

[@paulpaquette1961]

High tech way to measure static resistance. Ohms law states R=V/I, so amp clamp your test specimen and measure the voltage and use a Pico math channel to get dynamic resistance while it is under load.

[@thisisausername1265]

Will this work with a standard 4425, or is BNC+ required?

[@nwadeswim]

I'm pretty sure you have to have the plus

[@marcsinnaeve9937]

Yes it only works on 4225A and 4425A scopes with BNC+ as the resistance lead must be powered by the scope.

The background music is annoying, distracting and detracts from the quality of the video. Anybody who would be interested in this material doesn't need the daft music. It's also rather insulting to the guy presenting who's doing a good job of explaining. Which arty video type thought this daft music was on brand? We're diagnostic professionals, not idiots who need flashy things and shouty music. I love Picoscopes but no need for that daftness. Sort it out lads. Fire your video editor. Know your audience and respect your brand. Your reputation is for accuracy and industry-leading innovation. This music in the background is not on brand.

Absolutely right. I kept tapping the screen to see how much longer I would have to put up with it. In the end I gave up. I got just about halfway through, so I’ll never know how it ended. I’d rather be water-boarded than put up with this. As you so rightly say, we’re professionals, not halfwits with zero attention spans. It’s an insult to you, Steve, an insult to Pico Automotive, and most importantly, a huge insult to our professionalism - the mechanics, technicians and engineers. If I want this sort of nonsense, I’ll go watch TikTok or similar.

​ @martinrubenstein7943 If you are both this bothered and insulted about their decision to add some janky post-production background music to yet another excellent video by Steve, then I strongly recommend not making the same mistake that I did, and avoid browsing Pico's homepage for any possible releases of new accessories (which of course led me to this video while searching for an easier, more comprehensive way to measure non-load resistance). I have always shaken my head that their WPS costs around a staggering 1k when an equally accurate (albeit with slightly less top end range) transducer can be had for 100 dollars from war-torn Ukraine, or that their COP probe sells for 229 when I ended fabricating my own that produces even better waveforms from a scrapped relay for free. I get it- Pico makes high quality instruments, and good tools come at bad prices. But speaking of insulting and knowing your audience- yes we are technicians and yes most of us are professionals- but what we most certainly aren't are wealthy individuals with so much money we don't know when we're being insulted, which is what I've never been from by Pico until today when I saw they are selling their organizational foam for their scopes for a whopping $89. I have never once regretted dropping over 2k on a 4425A- until today when I wish I could separate myself from a company that would market 2 dollars worth of foam to some of the hardest working individuals after already spending thousands on their scope- and then want to charge for a foam cutout to organize our scope for 89 dollars. Just disgusting and shameful Pico.
