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 ...

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 ...

Oscilloscopes require probes to work, and probes are not all the same. There's a wide variety with versions designed for specific tasks and applications. This ...

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 ...

Probing solution is industry first to operate at bandwidths greater than 50 GHz with high-impedance probe head High-impedance, turnkey solution delivers bandwidths up to 52 GHz Brickwall and 40 GHz ...

Today’s oscilloscopes have far more functionality than their old cathode-ray tube (CRT) analog counterparts. At first glance, the proliferation of all of those knobs and buttons may seem overwhelming, ...

[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 ...
