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 ...

Digital oscilloscopes are the norm in most engineering labs, but the chances are that you have not fully explored their features. Among the more interesting features of a digital oscilloscope is the ...

Why this is still worth your time: an oscilloscope is one of those tools where small misunderstandings compound into bad ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Jae-yong Chang, Product Manager and Planner, Oscilloscope and Protocol Division, Keysight Technologies When considering ...

The quality of your signal is dependent on the probe you use, so how do you choose the right test probe for the job? Good testing requires good equipment, which includes probe selection. Oscilloscopes ...

If you do any work with high-speed signals, you quickly realize that probing is an art unto itself. Just having a fast oscilloscope isn’t enough; you’ve got to have probes fast enough to handle the ...

An expert viewpoint brought to Electronic Design by Agilent Technologies, Inc. There’s a bit of a philosophical debate surrounding how oscilloscopes and probes make measurements, especially at... An ...

In a pair of columns recently, Probing pointers and Probing Pointers: Take 2, I discussed some of the issues that arise in using scope probes as frequencies increase. Alas, too few engineers do a real ...

[IMSAI Guy] wants you to build a non-contact scope probe. The cost? Assuming you have a bit of wire and a regular scope probe, it won’t cost you anything. Why do you want such a thing? You can see ...
