Review: Micsig TO3004 tablet oscilloscope

March 26, 2025 By Kenneth Wyatt Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a portable oscilloscope for field troubleshooting or for demonstrations, look at the Micsig TO series. Here’s my take on the four-channel 300 MHz variant, TO3004. The Micsig TO3004 oscilloscope (Figure 1) is an 8-bit, four-channel, tablet-sized portable oscilloscope that’s also available with 100 MHz and 200 MHz varieties with two or […]

Review: PCBite circuit board holder and probe kit

January 24, 2025 By Kenneth Wyatt Leave a Comment

The PCBite kit holds your circuit board in place while you probe it, reducing the risk of short circuits. Recently, I’ve had to test and characterize many small PC boards, including embedded processors, DC-DC converters, and other wireless-related products, for EMC issues. I’ve never really had an easy way to keep these boards from moving […]

Isolated current probes eliminate ground loops

November 15, 2024 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

Tektronix IsoVue Isolated current probe

IsoVu isolated current probes from Tektronix isolate oscilloscopes from circuits used for EVs, motors, and power converters. Trying to make shunt-based current measurements with a typical oscilloscope probe is essentially impossible. That’s because one side of the probe connects to ground through the instrument. Using an ungrounded power cord is anything but safe. Differential probes […]

RF-isolated current probe achieves 140 dB CMRR at DC

November 12, 2024 By Aimee Kalnoskas Leave a Comment

Tektronix has released two new power measurement devices: the TICP Series IsoVu isolated current probes and the EA-PSB 20000 Triple series power supply. The TICP Series probes utilize RF isolation technology for current measurements across voltage systems. The probes achieve 140 dB common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) at DC and up to 90 dB at 1 […]

APEC 2024: Test equipment

March 14, 2024 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

Test equipment is everywhere. Every trade show has it regardless of the focus. Power is no exception. At APEC 2024, EE World visited several booths displaying test equipment: meters, oscilloscopes, source-measure units (SMUs), bench power supplies, and electronic loads. The photos and videos below highlight what we saw, presented in alphabetical order by company. In […]

High-impedance, high-bandwidth oscilloscope probe captures serial bus signals

February 6, 2024 By Martin Rowe Leave a Comment

The Infiniimax 4 active probe from Keysight reaches 52 GHz, enough to see signals on PCIe 6/7, 800 Gb/sec Ethernet, DDR 5/6, and other high-speed serial buses. Oscilloscopes with 100 GHz and higher bandwidths can display signals on 224 Gb/sec PAM4 serial buses and they’ve been available for several years. Without probes of high enough […]
