Too bad the max input voltage is too low.

Too bad the max input voltage is too low.

Scope probes often have a x1 or x10 switch.  Setting the probe at x10 basically divides the signal by 10, so the scope can support a voltage 10 times what it says, as long as the probe has that switch.

Neat. It was only a matter of time before someone integrated probes for a usable O'scope on a tablet app.

I'm all about this, big time. But again almost anything I'm going to probe is going to be 110-120v.... Well not anything, but that's where I'm looking most the time when dealing with AC filtration.

The 10x probe may work well, unfortunately I'd like a scope that goes to 100-200mhz so that I can look for FM.

I'll try again.

With a x10 scope probe (they are common), the voltage range will be -350V to + 350V.

The included probe may support x1 and x10, I can't tell.

Only high voltage tube stuff would be a problem.
