Dynamic Range and Offset Voltage Limitations

N2795/6A User's Guide
With 16V (±8V) of dynamic range and ±8V (N2795A) or ±12V
pp
(N2796A) of offset range, the probes have a wide measuring range
of ±20V, which allows them to be used for a wide variety of
applications. For example, if you wanted to measure small AC noise
riding on top of a +10V DC signal, you could use DC offset to
position the signal at the center of the screen to keep the probe
within its dynamic range. You could then zoom in to see the detail
at a higher resolution. Trying to measure a signal out of the
dynamic range may result in a clipped or distorted waveform.
