Hello group - I just finished the buildout of a uTracer3+. Cal and testing per manual all checks out. I thought I'd get more familiar with the GUI (3.11) before building out the enclosure and wiring up all the sockets. But...
When testing a 12AX7 and EL84, with socket pins connected to board via test leads, I am unable to get a 0V grid curve for either triode or pentode. Seems like the threshold to get Ia is -0.25V. The other grid voltage curves seem to plot ok (spot checks with published data are in similar ballpark), but the 0V curve is just a flat 0mA line.
Am I doing something wrong in not being able to get a 0V grid I(Va or Vs) curve?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Bo
