Low voltage readings in TS, an issue?

Post by eMTea »

Hi!

Just finished my MS3X v3.0 and running on JimStim.
In TunerStudioMS, I observed that battery voltage readings are 10.4v, when the power supply delivers 11,34v to the JimStim?
Do I have an issue in the elektronics?

There is a protection diode on the JimStim which drops a volt or so. Therefore you aren't too far off.
