Dear Forum, I recently bought a new GDS-1052-U oscilloscope. I read a few pages from the oscilloscope manual and I found that the maximum input voltage is 300Vpeak. 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 ? The oscilloscope will be damaged if I set the vertical voltage to 2mV/div and connect the 1x probe to 200V peak ? I know that the 200V peak voltage cannot be displayed on the screen if the vertical voltage is 2mV/div, but I want to know what can happen ? The last questions: what is the maximum DC input voltage, using a 1x probe and DC coupling ? Thanks in advance, Mike |

Maximum input voltage is 300V no metter if you set scale for 10V/div or 10mV/div... At the input of your oscilloscope you can see maximun input voltage, but you need to see what is maximum voltage for your probe |

Thanks for the reply. What means "offset range bandwidth limit" ? I found it in the manual and I took a screenshot: --- End quote --- The offset range bandwidth limit is the maximum voltage that can be applied at the input throught the 1x probe ? |

The amount the 0V of a channel can be offset (moved off screen) in order to display a waveform with a voltage offset. Bandwidth Limit. Typically 20 MHz. Used to exclude the HF components of a signal and/or to clean up the waveform. |
