I have a pulse load circuit which periodically switches from high impedance to a 22 Ω load for 110 µs. If I manually set the current range, you see nice even pulses, but if you set the current range to auto, sometimes you see odd small step changes in current that are not correlated with current ran…

Hi @mfikes - That is a great, simple test circuit. Thank you for sharing the great screen captures and test circuit schematic. That 555 test circuit likely has rise times measured in 10s of nanoseconds, which is pretty unfriendly, too :wink: I suspect that this fast transient is causing the JS110…

Yes, I was able to lengthen the pulse duration and see the pseudorandom pulse decay.
