Using oscilloscope filters for better measurements

Most oscilloscopes are fitted with filters to help improve measurement by reducing overall noise in an acquisition to improve signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Even the most basic oscilloscopes include an ...

Measure small LCs with a scope

One of our technicians recently asked for help determining the value of an SMT inductor. It was unmarked, and was many turns of very fine wire on a ferrite core. The resistance measured 26Ω, which for ...
