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 ...

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.

In a pair of columns recently, Probing pointers and Probing Pointers: Take 2, I discussed some of the issues that arise in using scope probes as frequencies increase. Alas, too few engineers do a real ...

[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 ...

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.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Selecting the right probe for your application is the first step toward making reliable oscilloscope measurements.

High-speed serial buses such as Serial ATA (SATA) use differential signals to carry data between PC motherboards or PCI cards and SATA disk drives. With first-generation SATA signals running at 1.5 ...

For oscilloscopes, Yokogawa has replaced six existing differential voltage probes with three expanded capability probes, and is offering new current probes too. “Recent trends for higher voltages in ...

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 ...

Sometimes the projects we write up for Hackaday require their creators to produce pages of technical explanation, while others need only rely on the elegance of the hack itself. The Scope Probe Caddy ...

New from Yokogawa, the Model 701949 and 702907 passive oscilloscope probes are intended to expand the usability and applications of Yokogawa’s DLM3000 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope. The 701949 10:1 ...
