Hello,
At the bottom of the screen on my FLUKE PM3082 scope a have : Ch1 1.00 V= MTB 10us ch1f .
Does the 1.00 V= means that every square along grid Y axis corresponds to 1 V?
Thanks.

Oscilloscope newbie question

Easy way to find out is to hook your probe to the calibrator, which
has a 600mVpp output.
Yes. But if you use a common 10:1 probe, and the scope doesn't know it, that will become 10 volts/cm.

yes how ever, I don't think that scope has a 10:1 selection for the input if you're using a 10:1 mode probe.. in this case, each grid block vertically would mean 10 times actual reading in voltage.. i could be wrong about the scope sensing the 10:1 probe being how ever.

Real Programmers Do things like this.

Some TI scopes I've used did that, but they had special connectors.
Every other scope I've used apparently assumes that the operator knows what he/she is doing.
