i was probing as topic. refer to picture below. if i hook ch1 only, i get nice half positive rectified. the same if i hook ch2 only, except negative signal (all so far as expected), but... when i hook both ch1 and ch2 to v+ and v- respectively at the same time, i got distorted signal, why and how?
meditating of it, its like the DSO ground (or the rectifier's, not sure which) is brought up to the middle and both signal get superimposed, probably by 1Mohm resistor to earth ground at both DSO channel/probe. but how DSO ground (earth) brought up, coz even though the offline circuit is unearthed, from what i've learnt, neutral wire already tied to earth ground in someway. so how can dso ground (earth) is elevated to middle potential compared to offline neutral (also an earth potential)? any explanation? (the dark side is shrouding the force, i have a headscratch)
