Hackers have been building their own basic oscilloscopes out of inexpensive MCUs and cheap LCD screens for some years now, but microcontrollers have recently become fast enough to actually make such ...
An oscilloscope is useless without the probes necessary to get signals from a device under test (DUT) to the instrument. And probes themselves are far more complicated than simple, ideal conductors ...
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 ...
This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Literally hundreds of different oscilloscope probes are available (Fig. 1), so how do you choose the right one? There’s ...
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 ...
An oscilloscope and a device under test (DUT) constitute a de-facto system. In it, the most overlooked element is the interface between the two: the oscilloscope’s probes. Test personnel simply grab ...
