2.4 Input Ranges

The USBscope50 supports 3 settings on its input attenuator.

The ranges at the BNC input depend on the type of scope probe used:

A “x1” probe causes no signal attenuation and will result in nominal full-scale input ranges of +/-0.3V, +/-3V and +/-30V. The bandwidth of x1 scope probes is generally quite low (10’s of MHz) and the circuit being measured will see a 1MegOhm load.

A “x10” probe causes a factor of ten signal attenuation and will result in nominal full-scale input ranges of +/-3V, +/-30V and +/- 300V. The bandwidth of x10 scope probes is generally high (100’s of MHz) and the circuit being measured will see a 10MegOhm load.

The USBscope50 also supports AC and DC coupling:

In AC coupling mode, the input signal is passed through a capacitor prior to attenuation. The input bandwidth is around 3.4Hz up to 75MHz.

In DC coupling mode, the capacitor is bypassed and the bandwidth is DC up to 75MHz.
