Re: High Voltage Probe to work on Scopes.

I guess this is the graph, found by Google search . It's valuable to know what's really happening.
Looking at the SA graph and comparing to the table, it seems to show a big falloff by 100 Hz, while the table only shows about 2% drop. Is this due to some artifact of the SA or am I misreading it (likely). The scale indicates start 0Hz, stop 1000 Hz which is 100 Hz per division.

I also use a 80K-40. I also sometimes use it as an oscilloscope probe for low frequency measurements. Somewhere I found a good frequency response graph for it.

I went for a Fluke 80K-40, which is 1000:1 and an input resistance of
1G-ohm. Goes to 40kV, so amply good enough for final acceleration voltages.
