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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Test probes go a long way toward ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. Here's a look at how both active and passive test probes are evolving to match today's broadening oscilloscope bandwidths.

Micsig Technology is aiming at mains and high-voltage GaN power supply development with a series of optical fibre isolated oscilloscope probes, with bandwidths up to 1GHz and risetimes down to ≤350ps.

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 ...

[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 ...

Tektronix has announced a second-generation of IsoVu isolated oscilloscope probes, claiming smaller size, easier use and enhanced electrical performance. Isolated probes are for probing power systems ...

Yokogawa has launched a new range of high frequency, high voltage differential oscilloscope probes, combining proven features of its existing probes with new capabilities. The range replaces six ...
