    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.

    "It really comes down to one thing: -Power"- COST of the Probes (!)

    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.

    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.

    Can you please explain the construction of an active probe and what each component does?

    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.

    @stephenvoncrven4319 Před 6 lety +1

    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?

    • @ABaumstumpf
      @ABaumstumpf Před 6 lety +1

      Simple physics - Impedance = 1/(ω*C)
      Higher frequency / capacity => Lower impedance.

    • @Faxter313
      @Faxter313 Před 6 lety

      Impedance of a Capacitor is 1/2*pi*f*C isn't it?

    • @stephenvoncrven4319
      @stephenvoncrven4319 Před 6 lety

      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.

    • @stephenvoncrven4319
      @stephenvoncrven4319 Před 6 lety

      Faxter313 2*pi*f = omega. they are proportional by 2pi

    • @Faxter313
      @Faxter313 Před 6 lety +1

      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.

    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

    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 :)
