Hi, I'm learning to use some of my equipment so these may be dumb questions, but if anyone could spare a minute to answer it would really help me out. Thanks in advance.
If I connect my signal generator directly to my oscilloscope (at 500 mV) I get a reading of 512 mV (for 1us) and 505 mV (for 109 ns). Why does changing the period affect the voltage reading?
Also, if I connect the signal generator to my amplifier and oscilloscope using a tee piece, the oscilloscope reads 340 mV, for the 500 mV signal. I'm not sure why the voltage reduces.
Lastly, on my signal generator, there is something called HiLevel, which is set at +250 mV, when I adjust it, it change the mV reading, I am not sure what this offset is used for? Or why it is set agt +250 mv.
