One of the most basic tools for tinkering with electronics is a multimeter. Today, even a cheap meter has capabilities that would have been either very expensive or unobtainable back in the 1970s.

As with most successful technologies over the past few decades, test equipment has improved rapidly to adapt to ever changing requirements. When you look under the hood of a new car, for instance, you ...

Test probes go a long way toward ensuring accurate, repeatable test results. Here's a look at how both active and passive test probes are evolving to match today's broadening oscilloscope bandwidths.

When combined with today's high-bandwidth scopes, active test probes can make a world of difference in capturing serial data streams. This Engineering Essentials article covers the basics of active ...
