01:02 <DocScrutinizer05> hmm, shouldn't

01:03 <DocScrutinizer05> I don't see any loop without hard termination condition

01:04 <DocScrutinizer05> it either terminates after SAMPLES loops, or it moves Vc1 to max or min

01:05 <DocScrutinizer05> only oscillation could cause endless looping, like with every iterating function that doesn't converge

01:09 <DocScrutinizer05> actually when i loops get more rather then less, you're not converging and tend towards oscillation or saturation. As a safeguard you could decrease the feedback (size of INCREMENT) in such case, each time i loopcount N > i loopcount N-1

01:09 <DocScrutinizer05> err < of course

01:10 <DocScrutinizer05> actually when i loops get less rather than more, you're not converging and tend towards oscillation or saturation. As a safeguard you could decrease the feedback (size of INCREMENT) in such case, each time i loopcount N < i loopcount N-1

01:13 <DocScrutinizer05> you prolly start with one loop for i, and you should end with SAMPLES loops for i. When the number of i loops per iteration is not monotonically increasing, the algo is in trouble (though I can't fugure how that could happen when you don't increase feedback beyond factor 1)

15:07 <DocScrutinizer05> hey THATS a fuse: /home/jr/Bilder/share-service/20150114_003.jpg

15:08 <DocScrutinizer05> oops

16:15 <roh> DocScrutinizer05: hehe.. proper hv fuse in rupture proof

16:16 <DocScrutinizer05> Agilent DVM

16:17 <DocScrutinizer05> now Keysight

16:17 <roh> well.. every cat2 or better needs that

16:17 <roh> not sure about cat1

16:19 <DocScrutinizer05> well, I've seen tons of those flimsy dia5*20mm blowfuses

16:19 <DocScrutinizer05> but this is a real monster compared to those

16:19 <roh> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messkategorie pdf on the bottom

16:20 <roh> you'll need a 1000V proof fuse to get a 600V rating i guess (cat2) ... one usually gets 1000V proof standart electrical gear nowadays (china can do that)

16:21 <roh> afaik most recent gear we would buy is cat3 or better anyhow ;)

16:23 <roh> i also got some meters with small 5x20 fuses... just dont use em for stuff in fuseboxes outside of a proper fused lab environment and everything should be fine

16:23 <DocScrutinizer05> CAT-III

16:23 <DocScrutinizer05> 600V

16:24 <DocScrutinizer05> except for the separate 10A jack

16:25 <roh> eh.. your voltage range isnt fused usually

16:25 <DocScrutinizer05> IR 20kA min

16:25 <roh> only the seperate jacks for current are

16:25 <DocScrutinizer05> it's a all but 10A range jack

16:26 <DocScrutinizer05> V Ohm µA diode capacitor temperature

16:26 <DocScrutinizer05> I actually dispise that a bit

16:26 <DocScrutinizer05> too easy to turn the dial knob from V to A

16:27 <roh> hehe.. thats why gossen has extra jacks and a shutter

16:27 <DocScrutinizer05> it's only crappy Agilent ;-)

16:28 <roh> soooo sad ;)

16:28 <DocScrutinizer05> U1233A

16:29 <roh> nice. very compact

16:30 <roh> i like the probe holders on the back

16:31 <DocScrutinizer05> yes, though they are less useful than you'd hope for

16:31 <roh> oh. gotta run and move before it rains

16:31 <DocScrutinizer05> me too

16:31 <roh> bbl
