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 ...

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 ...

Oscilloscope probes are crucial for measuring electrical signals. They connect oscilloscopes to circuits and can be classified based on purpose, construction, and measurement method. Understanding ...

When designing space electronics, particularly during the early prototyping stage or if qualification or flight hardware doesn’t function as intended, the humble oscilloscope is often used to verify ...

The article discusses key lab techniques for evaluating switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) and how to accurately measure voltage ripple and switch node using the right oscilloscope probes and methods.
