Hi guys, I am newbie with oscilloscopes.
I have an 1013D between Aliexpres and my home.
I have a doubt about this.
I want to check sine waves from several inverters. (230VAC)
I have read that with the 10x probe, this oscilloscope is capable of measure up to 400v
In oscilloscopes' specs, are these values peak or peak to peak (I mean, from -400 to 400 or -200 to 200)?
I have found different answers
This is important. If 400v specification is from -400 to 400, then I could use 10x probe to check pure sine inverter wave form
If 400v is peak, then I can't
Another question is: imagine that the previous answer is that I can measure only 400v (-200 to 200). Is it better a 100x probe or a 10x little transformer and use the included 10x probe ? Does transformer change/disturb/smooth the output sine wave of an inverter ? Even with load connected to inverter ?
Could you guys please ask me first answer? And if I need a 100x probe, for my use may be better/cheaper a little transformer that, besides, I already have ?
OF COURSE, i will use it in battery mode, without connecting anything to USB port.
I also know about risks of such high voltages.
Thanks a lot.
