Vertical resolution—A value, in bits, indicating the precision with which the

oscilloscope converts input voltages to digital values. The resolution enhancement

function can improve the effective vertical resolution.

Voltage range—The range of input voltages that the oscilloscope can measure. For

example, a voltage range of ±20 V means that the oscilloscope can measure voltages

between -20 V and +20 V. Input voltages outside this range will not be measured

correctly, but will not damage the instrument as long as they remain within the

protection limits stated in the specifications.
