Is the signal’s voltage level changed when you change the Volt/Div setting on the oscilloscope?

Solution

NO.Is the signal’s voltage level changed when you change the Volt/Div setting on the oscilloscope.

The volts/div setting is a scale factor.

The volts per division (usually written volts/div) setting varies the size of the waveform on the screen. A good general purpose oscilloscope can accurately display signal levels from about 4 millivolts to 40 volts.

For example, if the volts/div setting is 5 volts, then each of the eight vertical divisions represents 5 volts and the entire screen can show 40 volts from bottom to top. If the setting is 0.5 volts/div, the screen can display 4 volts from bottom to top, and so on. The maximum voltage you can display on the screen is the volts/div setting times the number of vertical divisions.
