Probing Is Everything
White Papers
The combination of an oscilloscope, a probe, and probe accessories forms a measurement chain. The weakest link in the chain determines the overall performance of the measurement system. Even a powerful high-performance oscilloscope and probe system that meets your overall measurement requirements may not be good enough. A relatively weak link, such as a poor probe tip accessory, can bring the overall performance down to fractions of your system bandwidth performance, which effectively neuters your investment while providing incorrect results.
