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

[Barry]

Okay - that's more in line with what I'm seeing.  I connected the input to an older HP signal generator that put about 25V on the input and I was seeing about 5x that on the output.  Looks like it's good - at least at these low voltages - and worth installing.

I didn't expect 3700V p-p at the input, though.  Good to know.

Thanks again,
