Download this article in PDF format. An oscilloscope is used to measure the voltage change of a signal over time. After a digital multimeter, an oscilloscope is typically the second most common piece ...

If you want to measure voltage you reach for a voltmeter. Current? An ammeter. Resistance? An ohmmeter. But what about measuring AC power? A watt meter? Usually. But if you know what to do, you could ...

Saelig Company, Inc. has announced availability of the CLIPPER CLP1500V15A1, an oscilloscope adapter that allows small voltages to be measured in the presence of very high voltages, such as those ...

I work a lot with high voltages and others frequently replicate my projects, so I often get asked “What voltage is needed?”. That means I need to be able to measure high voltages. Here’s how I do it ...

In Part one of this article, we discussed testing low voltage operation, testing full load and measuring peak drain voltage. Next, turn off the AC input and connect the high-voltage oscilloscope probe ...

Oscilloscope probes are handy tools for making measurements, but they have limitations. For example, they have rather limited bandwidth and that ground clip can create a loop that can pick up noise.
