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 ...

Looking for a good, albeit very expensive, paperweight? Try using an oscilloscope without probes! Probes are often taken for granted but they are one of the most critical elements of the signal chain ...

[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 ...

Probing is critical to making quality oscilloscope measurements, and often the probe is the first link in the oscilloscope measurement chain. If probe performance is not adequate for your application, ...

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 ...

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 ...
