Saelig Debuts Unique Circuit Track Current Probe

Pittsford, NY, USA: Saelig Company, Inc. announces the Aim-TTi I-Prober 520, a unique, compact hand-held current probe for use with any oscilloscope, unlike any other current measurement device available. The current flowing in a pcb track can be observed and measured, allowing measurements by merely placing the insulated tip of the probe on to the track.

Calibrated measurement of current flow normally requires current to be passed through a closed magnetic loop using some form of split clamp device. While this is suitable for individual wires, it is of no use for measuring current in pcb … Read More → "Saelig Debuts Unique Circuit Track Current Probe"
