Hi everyone.
I have just bought a new (old) digital oscilloscope from Ebay. Should be arriving in a few days and I'm really excited, it's my first digital oscilloscope and it has a pretty decent bandwidth (400MHz).
Anyhow, until now, I have used the 'cheap' 15MHz probes from Ebay to do measurements, but with the higher frequencies I am planning on measuring I presume these will not be so suitable.
So, what do I need to look for in an oscilloscope probe? Googling hasn't provided many clues, reviews tend to be for the cheapest, low bandwidth probes on the market. Bandwidth is presumably a key characteristic, but surely there must be differences between the £50 and £500 versions? (I'm not buying a £500 probe lol).
Many thanks for your time.
