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 ...

For decades, the venerable 10:1 passive scope probe has connected innumerable signals and scopes to each other. And, when neither the probe’s nor the scope’s performance limitations are exceeded, the ...

Evaluation Engineering has a great article about scope probes from a guy at Agilent. Jae-Yong Chang gives a pretty good overview of the issues surrounding scope probes. I would add two stories of my ...

Beaverton, Ore.—Oscilloscope and test-and-measurement vendor Tektronix, Inc. is releasing its P7313SMA differential probe. With 13-GHz bandwidth and an extended termination voltage range, the ...

[Mark Omo] sends in his write up on the design of what should hopefully be a sub-$100 oscilloscope in a probe. Many problems in engineering can be solved simply by throwing money at the them. It’s ...

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 ...

A differential probe, a device for measuring the voltage between two points in a circuit rather than the voltage between a point and ground, it an extremely useful addition to any electronics bench.

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, ...
