You can measure the ripple with the PSU on a running PC. There's probably a few more sources of EMI, but, I doubt if it would seriously throw the results out. Maybe you could give it an extra 20% headroom (ie, if its out of spec by 20%, don't worry about it). It won't throw it out by hundreds of mV, though.Pentium wrote:Is measuring the ripple something you can't do in a running computer because of interference? Like for instance what would happen if you just hooked the ground alligator clip to the ground on the scope and stuck the probe into say the 12V wire of a molex plug, would it just give you an inaccurate reading or would it damage the scope?
