Bandwidth vs Sample Rate Bandwidth is not how many measurements are taken per second, that is the sample rate and they are different!   Bandwidth is maximum frequency of an input signal which can pass through the analog front end of the scope with minimal amplitude loss (from the tip of the probe to the input of the […]

The x1 and x10 switch They call it x10, but actually its divide by 10 as the probe has a series resistor in it in x10 mode.  The x1 mode switch simply bypasses this series resistor.  If you want to know all the details take at look at this excellent video. Probes are normally used […]
