Ok, this is the last experiment, now you must be able to see it ;) !!

Thank you for the effort! But it still said "video can not be found".

After lots difficulties I re-uploaded it on YouKu. Touch wood!

Thank you! I saw the video finally. For the issue I'd suggest you first check the scope with some DC source of known voltage (like a battery or regulated power supply). This is to verify that the gain/attenuation of analog channel is correct. If the gain is correct then reproduce the issue. Touch connectors, slide switches (the upper two) to see if there is connection problem. You can also measure the DC voltage of test signal with a multimeter. The reading should be around 2.5V. If you get value lower then it could be the test signal problem.

I checked the voltage on oscilloscope screen with a 3.3v bus pirate DC source and It was ok!

Then, I checked the 500Hz signal output from oscillo and I found this values.

That's ok.

Then, I gave on oscilloscope's input a 1KHz square signal with bus pirate, and I found it.

That's ok.

But, when I connected the oscilloscope's input to 500Hz test signal the same problem was presented.

Any solutions?

Do you know the amplitude of 1KHz signal for bus pirate? If it matches the scope reading then scope is good. The amplitude of test signal could be wrong.

You have checked the frequency of test signal. But correct frequency doesn't mean the amplitude is correct.

You can see the correct amplitude of signal measured on second line of multimeter. Please do more attention to upper picture!

Sorry, I hadn't enlarge the photo and thought that was a frequency meter.

Does the voltage reading change if the meter is connected to the signal long time? I ask this question because, from the video, the signal was normal at beginning.

Otherwise, If scope is good and signal is good then the problem must be the probe. You can verify by connecting the test signal to scope input directly with a short wire. Just solder it right on the pads.

I did what you tell me and all gone well for 45-60 seconds, but after... the signal gone down.

I don't know what it mean... :?

This is really strange. Can you please check the voltage again after the signal goes down? Also, does the scope display changes if you probe on a constant voltage for long time?
