Re: Measuring waveform of small current pulse

Hi Group,

I am looking for a way to measure the waveform of a current pulse, on
the other of 1-10uA, and with a rise time of ~1us, without disturbing
the 0.5V DC signal that is forced on this node. I was told this is
possible with a combination of Tektronix TM502A (power module
mainframe), AM503B (current probe amplifier module with digital scale
readout), and an oscilloscope. I was wondering if anyone here has
experience with such measurements using this set up, or may suggest a
better method. From reading the AM503B manual I get the impression that

it does not have uA resolution, but then I could have missed something.



Many thanks.

The resolution is probe dependant, the ACP312 is the most sensitive, they
are all more than fast enough.
