Oscilloscope newbie question - 2007-05-18 08:35:00
Hello, At the bottom of the screen on my FLUKE PM3082 scope a have : Ch1 1.00 V= MTB 10us ch1f . Does the 1.00 V= means that every square along grid Y axis corresponds to 1 V? Thanks. Dusan

But if you use a common 10:1 probe, and the scope doesn't know it, that will become 10 volts/cm. John

Some TI scopes I've used did that, but they had special connectors. Every other scope I've used apparently assumes that the operator knows what he/she is doing. Cheers! Rich
