Understanding Oscilloscope Probe Specifications
应用文章
The probe is the critical link between the Device Under Test (DUT) and the oscilloscope. It affects both your measurement results and the operation of the DUT. Probing is a complex topic, often the subject of an afterthought in both design and testing. Since correct probing profoundly affects your ability to make accurate measurements, it is important to devote time to planning and preparing your probing techniques and requirements — which involves an in-depth review of probe data sheets.
Probe data sheets can be a tangled web of hard-to-understand specifications, lacking information on how those specifications affect your measurements. This application note aims to equip you with a better understanding of important probe specifications that can make or break your next breakthrough.
