TDS 1002 to read high voltage



Hello,

Anybody know if it is possible to read 5000v pulses on a digital
scope, the TDS 1002 from Tektronic.
I have this unit, taking the voltage from a 12v car battery and
supposedly giving off pulses of 5000v to 6000v. I want to see what
kind of pulses.
If it is possible , how do I go about it.??
I did test the device and i did not see anything on the scope, then i
found out my probe was deffective by using a second probe and testing
that probe on a battery. Did it break my probe or was it coincidence.

thanks,

ken
