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 ...

There are a number of different types of oscilloscope probes to choose from. Probes fall into two major categories: passive and active. A simple distinction between the two types is that active ...

In short, [Christer] needed a high-frequency active differential oscilloscope probe, and they’re not cheap. So he built one himself. With some minor tweaking on the input damping resistors ...

Many oscilloscope users have unwittingly shot ... edge that can be measured for a probe of a certain bandwidth. 2. Active probes are only required for high-bandwidth measurements.

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 ...

This versatile active probe solution is compatible with Introspect's protocol analyzers as well as with your favorite high-bandwidth oscilloscope or any other 50 Ohm instrument. The RSH2 Remote ...

If you have a single-ended signal and you want to view it on your scope, your choice is either a passive or active probe. Usually some kind of passive probe will be most available. These commonly ...

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 ...

RS Components has announced a new interactive, online probe selector tool from test and measurement specialist Tektronix. According to the electronics distributor, the selector tool enables users to ...

Chemical probes directed at active sites offer a potential way to measure metalloprotease activities in biological systems; however, large variations in structure limit the scope of any single ...
