By studying the oscilloscope manual you will find the right answers to your questions.
For example:
- the absolute maximum input voltage on the connector is 300V, regardless of the selected vertical range (page 9, 124 and the front panel of the instrument).
- the AC input coupling is there for exactly what you want to do: it separates AC signals that are DC biased (page 82-83).
- there is not any distinction depending on the coupling mode for the input impedance, so when using a division probe (x10, x100) the ratio is always the same.
- it is referred two times the "probe compensation", in the "setup" and the "maintenance" sections, don't overlook it, affects the AC response of the system (the probe is part of the instrument).
Measuring low level signals needs a careful setup to avoid traps, such as interference.
Follow the manual, keep notes for what seems difficult to understand, continue asking and learn how to filter the answers that you get!
