Many oscilloscope users have unwittingly shot themselves in the foot by ignoring the importance of the prosaic oscilloscope probe.

If you want to measure AC or DC current with an oscilloscope, a current clamp is a great way to do it. The clamp surrounds the wire, so you don’t need to break the connection to take your ...

Literally hundreds of different oscilloscope probes are available (Fig. 1), so how do you choose the right one? There’s no single answer because all designs are different. To help in the ...

An oscilloscope probe connects an oscilloscope’s input to a voltage node that you want to measure. Traditionally, we have used three types of probes: high-impedance passive probes, low-capacitance ...

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 ...

In addition to building a homebrew probe, the video also shows a teardown of a Hantek current probe and explains the theory behind the different kinds of current probes, including some tricks like ...

Each pack includes : One Little Bee B1 Current Probe, with current sensing attachment and an SMA-BNC cable for connecting to an oscilloscope. “Current probes are especially important for power ...

Aim-TTi has developed a current probe which is cable of measuring currents in PCB tracks. Measurement of current normally requires either the insertion of a shunt resistor, or for the conductor to be ...
