I have no idea what I expect to see, and I don't have a schematic because there is no electrical components besides a diode and a few resistors. This device that I am in the middle of building has both A/C and DC voltage simotaniously. The device has a self DC voltage of 1.0-1.3 volts, that will no matter what discharge even left overnight or days on end connected to a T5 compact bulb. It can pass 30ma but dumps down to 0.8 volts @30ma. I have a bunch of connected in series but am struggling to get a buffer or another IC to work with it. Everytime I try to connect it to ground everything stops working. Probably has something to do with the positive & neg outputs have super high resistance (OL) on a multimeter. Possibly ics won't work because of a resistive load drive issue. I'm not sure, it's super complicated. Also, The AC voltage is applied. The DC Voltage is self induced phenomenon.

 

One of the reasons I am confused is that Waveform is without any applied AC voltage. That is the signal coming out of device without any passives or ic. The main lead is on, the ground I had grounded to earth or the negative side of the device, or zero volts. The signal stays the same either way, just get cleaner with the ground clipped attached. It's not by any nearby elec equipment.

How many volts pkpk is the signal
What is the period
What is the pkpk of the fuss
Can you send picture of what your connecting to and how

Did you see my post? Some version of what you are seeing is precisely what I would expect to see with a floating scope probe in an environment with mains voltages and power supplies in operation.

That is all induced garbage, when you ground the probe it clears up.
