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 ...

Capacitive displacement sensor’s touch-free nature makes it ideal for fragile surfaces and high-speed machinery.

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

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 ...
