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 ...

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, ...

Remember fundamentals and practice situational awareness in taking measurements. It’s not only using the right probe, but it’s also using the probe right. Eliminating measurement artifacts is tricky, ...

Tektronix has taken its TAP1500 1.5GHz active single-ended probe, and stretched its 1.3m cable to seven metres “with no loss in performance”, according to the company. TAP1500L is the name of the ...

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 ...

A selection of probes, from [Jim Williams’] Linear Technology app note 72. It’s not often that we are shown an entirely new class of test equipment here at Hackaday, so it was with some surprise that ...
