Lessons
Lesson 1 - Correct Probe Accessories to Limit Distortion

Lesson 1 - Correct Probe Accessories to Limit Distortion

Demonstrates the importance of using the correct probe accessories to limit distortion in oscilloscope measurements. Probe accessories, such as attenuators, probes, and terminations, can introduce distortion into your measurements if they are not used correctly.

Lesson 2 - Select the Right Probe Bandwidth

Lesson 2 - Select the Right Probe Bandwidth

Discusses the importance of selecting the right probe bandwidth for your oscilloscope measurements. The probe bandwidth determines the highest frequency signal that the probe can accurately measure.

Lesson 3 - Check Your Probe's Derating Curve

Lesson 3 - Check Your Probe's Derating Curve

Teaches the importance of checking your probe's derating curve before making measurements. The derating curve shows how the probe's performance degrades as the signal amplitude increases.
Lesson 4 - Decrease Noise With Good Probing

Lesson 4 - Decrease Noise With Good Probing

Learn how to minimize noise in oscilloscope measurements by using the correct probe, grounding the probe properly, and avoiding common probing mistakes.

7 Common Oscilloscope Probing Pitfalls to Avoid

Understanding common probing pitfalls and how to avoid them is crucial in making better measurements. In an ideal world, all probes would be a non-intrusive wire attached to your circuit having infinite input resistance with zero capacitance and inductance. It would provide an exact replica of the signal being measured. But the reality is that probes introduce loading to the circuit. The resistive, capacitive, and inductive components on the probe can change the response of the circuit under test.
