Put a tester on your output. Best to do this with you machine connected and running.

that'll tell me if it's a circuit, but how do i find out if the volts are fluctuating?

Same story, test the voltage with a tester.
What do you mean it'll tell you if it's a circuit?

maybe i should get a tester that does more than just light up an led.

You need a multi meter, at least that's what they are called here. Test volts, amps, ohms etc.

Can I ask why you need to perform this test on the ems 200? I hve the same power supply and would like to know for future possible problems...are your machines sputtering?

The blokes having problems with lining and trying to isolate the problem.

Can anyone answer what the symptoms are if you suspect your power supply is not giving consistent current?

9 times out of ten its not your power supply. a quicker and cheaper solution is to borrow a coworkers power supply in your shop and see if you still have whatever problem you are trying to alleviate. i tattoo the same with my eikon as i do with a 20 dollar supply that i travel with...
