The oscilloscope is probably the most versatile piece of test equipment you can have on your electronics bench, offering a multitude of possibilities for measuring timing, frequency and voltage as ...

Recently, an EDN reader asked “Why do oscilloscope manufacturers put amplifiers on their probe tips rather than in the oscilloscope?” Placing the amplifier in the probe minimizes signal losses in the ...

At its simplest, a scope probe provides a physical and an electrical connection between a device or circuit under test and an oscilloscope's input amplifier. These days, most engineers and technicians ...

Just about everyone who has ever operated an oscilloscope has used an oscilloscope probe at one time or another. Some have had good experiences, while other had unfavorable ones— possibly as a result ...

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 ...
