Maurizio Mastrofini is a Senior Field Application Engineer at Teledyne LeCroy, providing support for the European market. He holds a Master’s degree in Telecommunications from Reiss Romoli L’Aquila College. Since then, he has been continually active in Test & Measurement, supporting a broad spectrum of measurement instruments, including Oscilloscopes, Logic State Analyzers, Video Test equipment and Time Domain Reflectometers. He has recently become more focused on Power Measurement applications related to Energy Conversion and power and mechanical efficiency, using Teledyne LeCroy Test equipment.
Oscilloscopes and probes are closely related, the probe is directly connected to the device under test and must be as unobtrusive as possible, while the oscilloscope must be able to acquire the signal, faithfully digitize it and perform the required measurements with the best possible accuracy. In this presentation we will discuss the motivation and benefits of using an oscilloscope with a 12-bit ADC, and new probes specifically designed for signals found in power switching circuits.
