Other Passive Probes
Probes connect the input of the oscilloscope to test points on the device under test (DUT). There are many types, including: high impedance passive, low capacitance, single-ended active, differential active, high voltage, and current probes. This is the first in a series of three articles on probe selection and application, and will focus on passive probes. Part 2 and part 3 will address active probes and current probes, respectively.
