Thanks for adding the example. I have one comment about the wording, cos
the last sentence doesn't really make sense without something referring
back to the scenario you describe.

"In this case, the voltage before the divider is desired".

Perhaps Jonathan can make that change, provided you are okay with it.

Cheers,
