Inrush current during power supply startup can disrupt adjacent components and degrade system reliability. Relying on steady-state current measurements won't show you the peak transient.

This video demonstrates a reliable workflow for capturing startup current spikes:

Utilizing a current clamp to monitor the power rail

Setting up a single trigger event above the steady-state noise floor to capture the transient peak

Using measurement rulers to analyze the amplitude and decay of the inrush current

How do you typically characterize transient startup events in your power designs?

Instead of hoping to catch a fleeting anomaly on a live display, use the Waveform Buffer and Playback tool in PicoScope 7 to review, speed up, or loop through past captures. This demonstration shows how to quickly narrow down a fault to a specific range of waveforms, streamlining your debugging workflow.

Try it yourself by downloading PicoScope 7 in demo mode.

Signal integrity is paramount when interpreting complex diagnostic or development data. While hardware shielding is crucial, software-based post-processing offers incredible flexibility for managing noise.

This video highlights three native features within PicoScope 7: Waveform Averaging, Low-Pass Filtering and Resolution Enhancement, explaining how they manipulate sample memory, frequency cutoffs, and quantization steps to deliver a cleaner readout.

When mitigating high-frequency switching noise, do you prefer applying a software low-pass filter in your scope, or do you opt for physical hardware filtering at the probe stage?

When validating complex designs, understanding exactly where your test equipment pulls data points is critical.

This brief demonstration shows how to enable measurement indicators within PicoScope 7 software. By visualising the precise points used for calculations like positive duty cycle and rise time, engineers can cross-check results instantly and build confidence in their data.

Struggling to characterize op-amps, VCOs, or diodes because you don't have a standalone signal generator?

See how to use the built-in signal generator inside PicoScope 7 to control waveforms up to 20 MHz directly from your scope. This short demonstration highlights how to consolidate your test setup and streamline component validation without relying on external bench hardware.

Measuring Switch-Mode Power Supply Noise | PicoScope 5000E

The PicoScope® 5000E Series is one of the lowest-noise oscilloscopes on the market, offering true 16-bit resolution and a noise floor of up to or below 22 µV RMS.

In this short demo, we look at switching noise from a switch-mode power supply and show how applying a bandwidth limit can significantly reduce displayed noise, helping engineers see low-level signal detail more clearly.

A useful technique for power integrity measurements, analogue analysis and low-level signal investigation.

Can’t see ripple on your power rail?

In this short demo, we show a simple technique for measuring low-level power supply ripple and switching noise using the NEW PicoScope® 5000E Series — the world’s first 16-bit 4-channel oscilloscope.

With ultra-low noise performance and true 16-bit resolution, engineers can capture subtle waveform detail, low-amplitude ripple and transient events that may be hidden by the limitations of traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes.

Precision where you need it. Speed when it matters.
