WARNING. If there is vertical clipping, there
may be a dangerous voltage on the probe tip,
but the readou
t will indicate a low voltage.
A
symbol appears in the measurement
readout if a vertical clipping condition exists.
Automatic am
plitude-related measurements
where the signal is vertically clipped produce
inaccurate results. Clipping also causes
inaccurate a
mplitude values in waveforms
that are stored or exported for use in other
programs. If a math waveform is clipped, it
will not aff
ect amplitude measurements on
that m ath waveform.
