When should you use a passive probe or an active probe?Join Ally as she unveils this oscilloscope probing mystery by walking you through the basics of the two main types of oscilloscope probes: passive probes and active probes.
She covers how the circuitry inside of the oscilloscope probes differs, how this can affect your measurement and tips for selecting the right oscilloscope probe for your particular measurement need.

Probing is arguably the most misunderstood but critically important aspects of making a good measurement. Take the Mystery Out of Probing video series, hosted by Ally Dartt, will unveil some of the greatest probing mysteries to help you make the most of your oscilloscope probes and improve your measurement accuracy.

"It really comes down to one thing: -Power"- COST of the Probes (!)
Keep up the nice and clear cut videos that a newbie can follow 😊
Thanks, will do!
Great video! Thanks for explaining the difference between the two probes.
Something about differential probes would be great! And why high voltage probes have a lower bandwidth.
Short but descriptive Nice work , got the idea very quickly!!!
Great overview on the two probe types!
Very nice explanation about differences Active vs. Passive Probes!!!
Thanks so much for explaining all this! 👍
i can watch this all day long :D
Awesome video, thank you.
That was incredibly informative and concise.
I wasn't expecting to learn this much from such a short video! I'm honestly quite impressed, and I will definitely watch more of your content.
I have to thank @ElectroBOOM for this, though. I didn't know of this channel before, and I have to admit that I subscribed for the giveaway (yes, I know....).
I'm quite glad I did.
i m in love with that scope
..please refocus your attention..
Nice video. Keep it up!
Very interesting!
Can you please explain the construction of an active probe and what each component does?
Great description of passive and active probes! You must have an amazing boss.

Can I use passive probes instead of active probes?
So high impedance means less loading, but what about 50ohm value that we keep talking about? You did not mention it at all.
you could help a lot in the evolving automotive diagnostics,but y'al 'bout 20 times smarter than us
i usually see bode's diagrams for frequency/gain, that's strange.
the impedencd is higher when C is lower due to the fact that's a lowpass configuration?
Simple physics - Impedance = 1/(ω*C)
Higher frequency / capacity => Lower impedance.
Impedance of a Capacitor is 1/2*pi*f*C isn't it?
ABaumstumpf
that's not physics, it's just a change of domain (from linear to freq). that's the phasor impedence of the capacitor (Zc). but if you have the capacitor in parallel or in series to the equivalent resistive impedece (and/or inductive) it changes how you sum it.
in series: high C less Z, because you just sum Zr + Zc.
in parallel: it could be lower yes as you make (1/Zc + 1\Zr)^-1.
yea.so basically the same, right right.
Faxter313 2*pi*f = omega. they are proportional by 2pi
I can't follow you, stephen. Impedance of Capacitor is 1/ωC in general - no matter the configuration of your circuit.
How is it not physics? The domains you are talking about are time and freq - you can display both of them in a linear or a logarithmic fashion.
a thing of beauty
Give me that Keysight.
impedance and not impendance as it is written. thanks for the video
I hope one day we will get wireless active probes, no more dangling cables. good job on the probe video. maybe do a video on how to not damage a active probe.
This is in development at the moment. Aeroscope is an oscilloscope the size of a small remote that displays waveforms on your smart device.
It's no powerhouse but it would be great for hobbyist and for sub GHz in general the same concept should be plausible
Cooooooooolllllllllllllll
Brains and Beauty rarely goes together
3.5 minutes of words could have been replaced by 5 seconds of showing two different traces on the oscilloscope screen.
You should have put someone less attractive to tell all of this, I had to watch it a few time until I understand it :)
