Online tool enhances oscilloscope probe selection

According to the electronics distributor, the selector tool enables users to quickly upgrade oscilloscopes and provides the capability to choose from more than 100 probes by instrumental series, model numbers or standards and applications. The search can be fine tuned according to specific testing requirements. Results of the oscilloscope probe and accessory selection are displayed as images for the first 15 matches, with the remaining matches listed as the manufacturer's stock number, linking directly to the part specification page. "Engineers are under constant pressure to work faster using increasingly complex technologies, and they need easy access to tools for device design validation and debug," said Fred Knowles, head of Product Management – Electronics at RS Components. "The Tektronix probe selector tool simplifies the process for engineers to quickly find and buy the right accessories, enabling them to analyse and resolve challenging design issues."
