I have a cheap oscilloscope that is rated for 10V input. I want to measure the quality of the output of my power supply due to a belief the DC filtering circuit isn't working well and producing harmonics in the signal (ripples). The output voltage is at a higher voltage coming out of a...

Yeah. Ideally I'd like to see the oscillation with amplitude offset increasing as time goes on. Right now I have a simple half wave multi stage multiplier set up. I can measure the rectification part, so the sine wave only goes to the positive and not negative, but I don't see the amplitude...

How do you measure the voltage of a cockcroft walton multiplier over time to observe the charging behavior? Does measuring with oscilloscopes discharge the capacitor hence you can't observe the charging or not?
