Excellent comparison, invaluable for someone choosing between the two gizmos. But aren't you jumping the gun, sir ? Before I buy a DiffProbe, costing half as much as a DSO, I would need a LOT of convincing that it makes possible some functions VERY important to me, or simplifies some functions I do FREQUENTLY, etc, you get my point. Please make a video on why a sensible engineer should own a Diff Probe, what are the things it can do in the REAL world.

@CDN_Torsten 4 жыл бұрын

BR Gurunandan - Differential probes are ideal for measuring signals where the signal is not ground-referenced. Some examples would be the output of a H-bridge, or if you need to see the signal across a resistor where neither end of the resistor is at ground potential. There are alternative methods such as using 2 scope channels and then applying MATH to see the difference...but this ties up 2 channels which may be a problem if you need to look at multiple signals. It's also annoying if you need to perform this kind of measurement frequently. The MICSIG unit works very well and is excellent value for the money. Just don't expect it to work to 100MHz - the BW is a bit of a marketing stretch...

Thanks for pointing that out. If I had not pointed out that it did not come with a power source - would have you pointed that out - just to be contrary? You may not be aware but many diff probes do come with their own power source - but at these prices I’m good with them simply providing a common USB port. When using this you also need to be aware of the grounding of your power source. If a power source had been provided the grounding and noise level would have been taken care of. BTW did you notice that I used an isolated power source?

Welcome back! :-) I like your review, I think it is wary hard to decide, but maybe for lower voltages after the transformer, the Pintek is better, lower noise and 20X. While the Micsig is more to the before transformer or tube amps, greater noise but maybe to "harder" tasks. The missing CE mark is a bit of concern, you may try to open it and see if the probe is build to some acceptable standard.

Note: My question is because you got the opportunity to use them for a little while.

@KissAnalog 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the excellent question! I think you want to have enough headroom so that the instruments are safe, but not so much that you don't get the best accuracy. For 120 or 240Vac, I think 700 V provides the safety, but and gives good resolution at lower voltages with the low range. If the bandwidth is good at the scale that the probe is in, then it is just a matter of safety first then resolution;) Does that make sense?

Thanks again for your kindness. You are right without any doubt. Micsig just offered those differential alternatives to give a wide choice to the customer's particular needs when we look their products. I asked you as I told before, because the great opportunity to try them in real time looking around your bench activity, having the feel and touch as well as their behavior against the published manufacturer specs.

Nice video! It might be that there is noise (such as harmonics) in your circuit that the DP25 (which only has a bw of 25 MHz) cannot see. The Micsig has a bw spec of 100 MHz, so it may be picking up noise well beyond that which the DP25 can detect.

@KissAnalog 3 жыл бұрын

That's great feedback. But, I did check the specs, which wasn't easy, and the Pintek does have a lower noise spec. I do really like the Micsig, and if you are looking at any signal that isn't really small it works great and the noise is of no issue. I haven't even noticed the noise in real use;) BTW, I think both probes are on par in quality to any that I have used at 10x the price.

Hi, I believe that the Siglent isfe has a 1Mhz bandwidth and is limited by the voltages you can scope. The differential probes are 25Mhz and 100Mhz bandwidth. A scope with a true isolated front end, the bandwidth is equal to the scope bandwidth. The main difference is price point. ATB Adam

Adam L that is so nice of you to help me. The ISFE is not cheap either (I think $150), but it covers two channels. I bought an LCR but the inductance of balanced armature drivers is so small I did not get meaningful measurements. Also I will need to check different amplitudes and frequencies, as inductance is also depending on air pressure. It’s a nice rabbit hole I‘m down. Currently I am looking at Hantek 4072C, it’s cheap and function gen is included. But I don’t know if 8 bit is enough, 8 bit audio sounds bad so I have to figure out if the missing resolution is covered by the higher sample rate. Sorry for writing a novel of a KZfaq comment; I am just thankful you helped me. When you‘re on a budget, buying the wrong tools really sets you back.

The DP20003 outside my range of needs, so I'm debating between the DP10007 and DP10013, leaning towards the DP10013. Oddly enough, they both are about the same cost at $185 (the DP20003 is $250). The one advantage the DP10007 has is the 10x/100x range that matches up with most scope attenuation settings, making measurement easier to read. One thing I see people say is to watch the voltage ratings/markings... they are actually peak-to-peak and not RMS values.

Thank you and I sure will! I plan to design my own differential probe that will be low cost;)

I gotta get me some of them but the wife would never let me pay that much for probes haha I don't deal with hv much anyway

Fun stuff, but if you don't need them then save for what you do actually need.

You asked what I think... I think you measured the rise time of the probes incorrectly. With a power supply being switched on? C'mon...

Thanks for commenting - every comment helps others to understand more I hope. I was actually comparing the probes while measuring the power supply rise time, I didn’t mean to give the idea that I was measuring the probes bandwidth. I’m not even sure I have the instruments for that. I’d have to have something with a risetime faster that pun 3.5 ns. The Micsig has 100 MHz bandwidth while the Pintek actually has a 25 MHz. The rise time measured would have been near the Pintek’s limit, but it seemed to capture about the same wave shape as the Micsig. I’ll have to try and do a more comprehensive review of each of these probes.

Good comparison video. However, I don't know why you find the Micsig so impressive. Appears to be cheap Chinese junk from what I see. Molded leads - bad. Thin coax - bad. Noise - bad. No listing mark (CE or otherwise) - downright dangerous for something that goes up to kV levels. You get what you pay for.

Thanks Wes! You are right - but then again they are only rated for CAT II, so there's not a lot of energy there. Basically bench work. i guess I'm impressed because they see to be made much like 'brand' name probes that I use on the job, but don't cost $1500 to $6000. I think diff probes are so over priced, so I'm impressed with probes that the average Joe might be able to afford. Also, those 'name' brand probes have special inputs, and it seems that every new model that comes out forces us to get all new probes. That's probably why they are leased.

Bad practice....Poking your finger and touching your DUT when pointing out stuff. Seen you do it multiple times in this video. Eventhough YOU know it is not powered.... Mistakes are made. Not the best example and a bad habit.

Thanks but I am always careful with keeping power off when moving probes or pointing things out. When I am doing videos it takes me so much longer because I have to be extra careful while also thinking about lighting, sound, batteries, and video.
