(1) What component limits the osci input to 30Vp max?
(2) Can I go higher with another probe that supports >30V?
(3) Is PCSGU250 robust against short voltage peaks?
(4) why is the osci software warning when i switch to 1:10 input and not if i switch back? can i go higher with 1:1?
Thanks alot, osci with function gen is very helpful!
[quote] (1) What component limits the osci input to 30Vp max? [/quote]There is no optical isolation between the oscilloscope and the PC. The 30V limit is for safety reasons only.
quote Can I go higher with another probe that supports >30V?[/quote]Yes, moving the probe slider to the position x10, you may measure higher voltages. For safety reasons this is not recommended anyhow.
