Hello all, First time poster hoping for a little guidance regarding an oscilloscope reading. I’m fairly certain the root of my issue is user error lol but googling has not uncovered an answer. I’m trying to do a simple voltage validation on a oscilloscope (actually I have two scopes and I’m getting the same result for both). I’ve got a 6v DC lantern battery hooked up to the probe and the reading on the scope only shows a movement of 3 minor divisions up from the ground baseline. I’ve set the ground baseline using the ground coupling and then I switch to DC coupling and get the jump up of 3 minor divisions. Shouldn’t it jump up 6 minor divisions?
I’m left to conclude that you must double the reading? I did verify that the battery reads a full 6v on a digital multimeter before I did all this. Thanks for some help!
