hi,
I observed this problem in one of my devices which basically sense water and turns on a valve
problem is when the valve turns on supply to the coil becomes saw tooth
before
After
what could be the problem , we are using a SMPS 230VAC to 24VDC and Flyback transformer
has 2 output one 24V and other 15V , 24V is driving only this coil and an LED
15V is used to power microcontroller parts,
You didn't show power supply primary side, so we can only guess. Are you sure that the solenoid is permanently enabled during the test, not switching with about 160 Hz?

given the time base in the mS region - there is not enough bulk storage on the mains side of the switcher - of the solenoid is overloading the output you are using ... (?)
