12V Measurement with Parallax USB O-scope?

jmasin

Hi all,

I have the Parallax USB O-scope (had it for many years).

I was wondering if there is a way to measure a 12V DC signal?

My situation is this. I have an AC UPS in a small rack-mount cabinet. In one of the racks I have a 12V DC supply which powers a CCD camera. My desire is to characterize the AC noise on the 12V DC output (if any) due to being in such close proximity to all of the AC cabling.

I know the O-scope is capable of 20V p2p, but I'm unsure if there is a safe (no damage to scope) way to measure a 12V signal.

Thanks for any help.

I use mine all the time to measure 12V it should be no problem at all
