If there’s a topic concerning probes that causes confusion, questions, and misunderstandings, it’s loading. It would be a much simpler world if attaching a probe to a circuit under test had no effect ...

Making accurate, high-speed time domain measurements does not have to be a challenge. Employing a few tips can greatly simplify the task. When choosing the oscilloscope and probe for high-speed ...

In Part 1, we covered the bandwidth limitations of passive probes and why they can't be used in today's switching power supply designs. High-frequency probes are expensive and often out of reach to ...

If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your measurements ...

An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...
