X1 probes
« on: April 30, 2018, 05:01:28 pm »
I use probes X1 and not x10 since my rigol ds1054z for a problem that I can not solve still takes about ten minutes to compensate them here I explain it to the problem https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/rigol-] [url]https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/rigol- ds1054z-109465 / [/ url].
As I only use it in prudent arduino and electronic projects, I do not measure voltages higher than 24Volt and frequencies of 28 MHz, my question will bring problems to the equipment and as long as it does not exceed the 150 valt and the 35MHz that are the limits for the X1 probes, that comparing X1 and X10 I do not see differences in both the graphics and the values displayed on the screen.

As an answer from a beginner, as I understand it minimizing the signal to the scope is only part, and maybe not the major part of the reason to use a 10X probe. A 10X probe has a much smaller chance of affecting the circuit under test, and possible changing the way that circuit operates. This is an excellent tutorial video by W2AEW (Alan Wolke) on the subject.

Even at low frequencies and voltages, you may still want to use a x10 instead of x1 probe because the x10 probe has lower input capacitance and higher input resistance.
