Measuring dynamic currents with an oscilloscope is challenging, but this updated differential current probe makes it simple ...

When it comes to the Internet of Things, many devices run off batteries, solar power, or other limited sources of electricity. This means that low power consumption is key to success. However, often ...

Tektronix introduced the P6042 current probe in 1969, priced at $625 ($4100 in 2016 dollars). It has a probe you can clamp onto a wire carrying current. The output of the P6042 goes to an oscilloscope ...

Current measurements are not as handy as voltage measurements. You typically need to either measure the voltage across something and do some math or break the circuit so a known resistor in your ...

Accurate oscilloscope measurements are determined by selecting the right probeas there has to be a suitable electrical connection between the signal to be measured and the oscilloscope’s input channel ...

Modern power supplies are edging upward in operational frequency. The benefits include a reduction in size and weight, plus an increase in energy density. For these designs, engineers are migrating to ...
