[IMSAI Guy] wants you to build a non-contact scope probe. The cost? Assuming you have a bit of wire and a regular scope probe, it won’t cost you anything. Why do you want such a thing? You can see ...

This unit employs a dual trace oscilloscope with X-Y function as a display to test and demonstrate the action of circuits and components such as transistors, diodes, zener diodes, and terminated and ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Literally hundreds of different oscilloscope probes are available (Fig. 1), so how do you choose the right one? There’s ...

Sometimes the projects we write up for Hackaday require their creators to produce pages of technical explanation, while others need only rely on the elegance of the hack itself. The Scope Probe Caddy ...

Pico Technology has introduced an eight-channel PC oscilloscope with dual 5Gsample/s ADCs and 4Gsample of capture memory as standard – as well as a hands-free probe holder, more of which further down.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Selecting the right probe for your application is the first step toward making reliable oscilloscope measurements.

In a pair of columns recently, Probing pointers and Probing Pointers: Take 2, I discussed some of the issues that arise in using scope probes as frequencies increase. Alas, too few engineers do a real ...

Making accurate, high-speed time domain measurements does not have to be a challenge. Employing a few tips can greatly simplify the task. When choosing the oscilloscope and probe for high-speed ...

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 ...
