[Test-Equipment] Question Regarding Testing a Scope's HV Multiplier

> Looking at the schematic, the anode gets 18kV from the multiplier but I don't know the input voltage to the multiplier; however, I *think* the multiplier yields some 32x the input voltage (there are five "stages" and I assume each stage doubles the previous stage's voltage).  If this is true, then that would put the operating input at around 560V which seems reasonable (to me).

It's a 5X multiplier... normal input is 3700V peak to peak.
