Yes, that's precisely what happened. At the very beginning, when this
topic was still embedded in another thread, I openly asked if anyone
knew how to use the i1000s Fluke current probe. Yet you're the first
person to offer any insight into its operation.
Fluke's own user guide is almost as useless as AI in this regard.
AI keeps circling around the same old set of websites using different
words to regurgitate its useless operating instructions with each
iteration.
Perhaps now that the key phrase "required load resistor" is known, my
search results will return a useful operator guide. Thank you for your
insight.
Addendum:
And, by the way, there's yet another fundamental misunderstanding. In
place of a full wave rectifier, the CoB LED utilizes two half-wave
rectifiers, one at each end. Per piglet's xray interpretation, each
half-wave rectifier consists of two diodes.
Addendum 2:
My attempts to appease audience obsession with a series shunt resistor
caused me to flip the scope's input impedance to "1M ohm AC" and
inadvertently leave it at that incorrect current probe setting.
After the scope's set to "1M ohm DC" a flat-line trace appears when
the two half-wave rectifiers are "off:"
<https://crcomp.net/ledfilament/curveprobe4.png>
If that's what Arie means by "required shunt load resistor," then the
original current probe curve also shows a more-or-less flat-line trace:
<https://crcomp.net/ledfilament/curveprobe.png>
And the anomaly again indicates capacitive current curve corruption
caused by the solderless breadboard.
In the end, AI did indeed mention the DC setting when using the probe.
Danke,
