Measuring AC current (220-V mains RMS current) is not as simple as measuring DC current. In DC current measurement, you can simply hook the oscilloscope probe to the shunt resistor and calculate 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, ...

Making ripple measurements has traditionally been using an oscilloscope. For a number of technical reasons, an oscilloscope, in general, is not necessarily the best choice for measuring ripple. These ...

Rohde & Schwarz recently announced their MXO3 1 GHz bandwidth 12-bit oscilloscope [1], and I managed to get one to review.

Test and measurement supplier Tektronix has upgraded its touchscreen oscilloscope. The recently introduced 4 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscope (MSO) features state-of-the-art measurement performance ...

Persistence displays retain waveform traces on the screen, allowing them to decay over a user set time duration, they allow users to see a history of signal variations on the screen. This feature is ...

14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) oscilloscope delivers four times the signal resolution and half the noise floor of other general-purpose oscilloscopes Instrument built from the ground up with ...

Tektronix recently unveiled two new products, one the MP5000 Series automated system and the other the 7 Series DPO oscilloscope. The new scope is purpose-built for engineering teams and researchers ...
