Harvey, thanks for your example. I do somewhat the same with a voltmeter in respect to measuring voltage drop/gain rather than doing the math, I can get higher resolution too since the decimal moves over.
Your high voltage idea in respect to exceeding limits; would it be possible to use the 2 channels to measure a floating high voltage that exceeds the single channel to scope chassis limit of say, 500V peak? Given a 1M channel impedance, do I end up with a 2M impedance? Could this be a method to cut scope loading on the DUT in half?
And yes, this is an academic question, the examples help me to understand the testing possibilities with my scope.
