When using oscilloscopes, we tend to focus so much on the instrument and its features, we tend to forget that choosing the right probe and using it properly can be just as important. It all starts ...

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 ...

Microscopes make tiny objects visible, as their name suggests. However, modern microscopes often do this in a round-about way, not by optically imaging the object with light, but by probing the ...

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, ...

A series of new tests highlights the benefits of using an abrasive-loaded gel to clean probe tips. Production wafer-level test is used to evaluate the performance of all manufactured ICs prior to ...
