Did you wire both trigger electrodes together, the Z660W have two trigger electrodes but the ER32 only one. You must also check that the minimum anode current is 5mA as the Z660W might otherwise work unreliably in some situation according to the datasheet. You might also have to check the

I have a scope (Red Pitaya - Kickstarter) device on the way. My portable multimeter has seen better days (the stand is broken and it's a pain to change the batteries in it)...so I wanted a relatively inexpensive bench top one I could plug in instead...I'll keep my eye out for a good HP one (the
