Hello everyone,
I am starting to use a Rigol 1052E (I have not used a scope for 30 years or so, so am going up the learning curve).
It all sort of makes sense with the exception of measurement values if I take a Power supply (AC at 15V) with a 10x set probe it measures 4.28V P to P
On all the measurements I attempt it seems to be 3.5 times lower than expected.
I have run the self calibration software and it made no difference, any ideas?
Thanks, Rich

15V RMS -> 21V peak -> 42V peak-to-peak. The scope is right.

you can adjust the probe sensitivity to 10x in the input menu
Ok - thanks guys
It is all making more sense to me now and yeah, RMS > Peak > Pk2Pk is what I forgot completely about!
I am making a power supply, and wanted to get used to the scope before I make sense of the measurements.
all good learning!
