Getting Started: Oscilloscope Voltage Measurement. I was wondering if there is a way to measure the voltage waveform in consideration of the fact that the oscilloscopes I have available to me are rated for 300V rms. The Rigol 1052E is rated for 300V input. Most scope probes are "10X", which means you have an internal 1:10 voltage divider and the real voltage is 10 times what's going into the 'scope.
Maximum voltage is in the low tens of kV.

Understanding how to measure voltage with an oscilloscope is the first step to uncovering the powerful measurement capability your oscilloscope offers. Dear Forum, I recently bought a new GDS-1052-U oscilloscope.
The oscilloscope end has a box with several waveform-trimming adjustments.

We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

That means I can measure maximum 300V with a 1x probe , 3kV with a 10x probe and 30kv with a 100x probe ?

Mean and average voltages: The cheap oscilloscopes are used to calculate the average or mean of the signal, and also can measure the average of …

As we have seen, besides of the load impedance, this method measures also the real power delivered to the load.. From the previous chapter, we already know the impedance of the load as measured by the VNA: R=23.224 X=-14.356.

I read a few pages from the oscilloscope manual and I found that the maximum input voltage is 300Vpeak. Power measurement. Oscilloscopes only measure voltage over time.

Current cannot be measured with an Oscilloscope directly, but can be measured indirectly. I have a question regarding the maximum input voltage: 300V peak is the maximum voltage input for 10V/div or for 2mV/div using a 1x probe and AC coupling ? Assuming that the respective probe is actually rated for that voltage (The default Rigol probes are rated for maximum input of 150V AC on 1x and 300V AC on 10x so is not suited for high voltage. As we can see, the impedance measurement made by the oscilloscope looks quite accurate. For safety, a barrier disc keeps the user's fingers away from the point being examined.

Maximum and minimum voltages: the oscilloscope is used to measure exactly how high and low the voltage of the signal gets. Measuring the current would be great also but not as much of an issue (I'm aware of this answer Measure current in high voltage (10kV) but I don't have the same materials). Step 1: Turn on your oscilloscope and push the “Default Setup” front panel key.

Step 2: Plug in a … (Tektronix oscilloscopes automatically switch the scale when you plug-in a 10X probe, and I assume other "real" scopes do the same thing.)
