Dynamic Range and Offset Voltage Limitations
20
With the 16V
(±8V) of dynamic range and ±12V of offset
pp
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.
